Magnescale measuring systems are based on a magneto resistive operating principle, making them insensitive to oil, moisture, vibration, and shock. Thanks to the same thermal expansion coefficient as steel, they are optimally adapted to machine tools.
With SmartSCALE technology, which uses tunnel magneto resistive (TMR) sensors, the systems operate contactless, achieve IP67 protection, and offer resolutions down to 5 nm.
Linear and rotary encoders are available with protocols such as BiSS-C, Siemens Drive-CLiQ, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and Yaskawa.
