Features
The linear scale will output a moving amount and displacement as digital amounts based on a linear
scale graduated in certain xed pitches.
This can precisely measure moving amounts of various instruments including electronic/semiconduc-
tor manufacturing units and machine tools.
This product is an absolute linear scale which utilizes superior electromagnetic induction resistance to
the environment.
This product measures all position coordinates from the xed origin regardless of coordinates mea-
sured just before the measurement.
Also, this product does not require an origin return step at the starting time of work or during a power
failure, and does not require batteries for backup, which will contribute much labor saving.
Moreover, this product has excellent dustproof/waterproof performance, which makes it possible for
you to use this product in harsh environments where chips or cutting oil occur.
We provide more than one type of product with dierent appearances or sizes depending on the
eective length.
