Features


Scale is tape type with thickness of "0.4 mm", and the outer shape of the head is 50 x 21 x 12



0.1μm・30m/sec

Scale can be cut to desired length

Due to electromagnetic induction, the position can be detected without the affect by oil stains on the pattern.

MELSERVO, PANASONIC

Because the fixed part and movable part do not contact.

Convenient, the GAP value and current position are displayed during assembly and maintenance.


Possible to use heads with different specifications.
High speed・High resolution
0.1μm・30m/sec
Scale is mounted on the stage driven by a linear motor, and high-speed operation is performed with 0.1 μm detection.
Excellent environmental resistance
Since the scale is not optical type but "electromagnetic type", it is not affected by surface dirt.
Even if Scale pattern is dirtied with marker, Scale will work without problems.
Most suitable for detecting the position of high speed stage with linear motor.
In the video example Scale and Head are mounted on the right side of the linear stage.
