The digital Magnescale measuring sensors work on a magnetic, incremental principle, which guarantees the accuracy over the entire measuring range. The digital signal-processing enables a very high traversing speed of 80 m/min with a resolution of 0.1 μm. The electronic system also monitors the traversing velocity and thus prevents numeric errors. The magnetic measuring principle renders the probe extremely insensitive to contamination in the production environment. Due to the high accuracy, the traversing velocity and the insensitivity, the digital Magnescale’s measuring sensors are ideal for automated measuring applications on production and assembly plants with short cycle times and changing workpieces.
