Strengthened lineup includes new coolant-proof models] and incorporates absolute scale technology throughout
Absolute functions
•Absolute scale technology prevents overspeed errors.
•The coordinate origin (ABS point) can be set to desired position and stored. A previously set A8S point is retained even when the power is off, so the current true position is displayed immediately after power-on.
Note: The ABS point reverts to the default value when the battery Is removed or replaced.
Long battery life
• Single function types feature very long battery life (about 20,000 hours), thus providing lower-cost operation and environmental benefit. (Coolant-proof type: about 15,000 hours)
Small and light
• Smaller display unit allows use as a positioning sensor for jigs and tools as well as on small machine tools.
ABSOLUTE Coolant-proof Digimatic Scale Units
Horizontal single function type
•Featuring absolute scale technology with a new detection method (electromagnetic Induction''*2) that makes the unit usable in hostile environments where It Is exposed to water or coolant spray.
*1: For details of the electromagnetic Induction detection method, see page 5.
*2: Patents registered in Japan, the USA and Europe (Germany, the UK, France and Switzerland). Patents pending in India and China.
•Position data can be output to external devices using the waterproof connecting cable dedicated to ABSOLUTE Coolant-proof Diglmatic Scale Units.
