Reliable high-precision measurement and position tracking is still possible even under particularly difficult ambient conditions. 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.1 5.0 3.6 3.7 5 MagLine | 5.0 Product Overview www.siko.de MagLine Micro Resolution: standard 1 ìm, max. 0.2 ìm System accuracy ±10 ìm Repeat accuracy of ±1 ìm Sensor/band gap max. 0.4 mm MagLine Micro This high-resolution linear measuring system was designed for precise and highly-dynamic processes with special requirements regarding measurement in the ìm range. The primary applications are in linear and rotary control and drive systems. With a maximum measuring length of 90 m, MagLine Micro achieves a resolution of 0.2 ìm. All main parameters can be freely selected and enable individual adaptation to site requirements. The measurements made by this sensor-band combination are made available in the form of digital square-wave or analog signals. The measuring ranges can be tracked either incrementally or absolutely. MagLine Micro systems are an inexpensive alternative to conventional length measurement systems, e.g., using optical methods, yet have a wider range of functional applications due to their robust design and resistance to ambient conditions. Applications MagLine systems can be mounted directly on positioning or processing equipment, preventing measurement errors which can occur as the result of gear unit play or spindle tolerances. The reading distance (sensor/band gap) has a wide tolerance range. This can vary over the whole measuring range and within the defined limits (e.g., due to radial run-out or imprecise guides). Accuracy and reproducibility of the position values are not negatively affected as a result. The robust measuring equipment is impervious to dirt and mechanical loads in industrial environments. The main advantage is the magnetic measurement method itself, as its principle of operation cannot be negatively affected by typical machine-related effects (vibration, shock), or other influences (bulk solids or fluids). Demanding conditions require tough equipment. The long service life and durability of the materials and functional units used guarantee maximum reliability. The flexible magnetic bands can also be additionally protected with a stainless steel cover strip to withstand mechanical effects if necessary. The sensor system itself does not have any moving parts, as the electronics are fully encapsulated. Tough plastic or allmetal housings are generally used for this. 5
