Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the ELBO Measuring Systems, specifically focusing on the GALILEO and MXRL series of optical lines. These systems are designed for high accuracy measurements on various machine tools.
Specifications: The GALILEO systems are compact and suitable for machine tools like lathes and milling machines, while the MXRL systems cater to larger machines with measurement capabilities over 10 meters. The encoders E-66 and M-2 are used for angular movement surveys.
Models and Features: The GALILEO series includes models GT5, GT1, GR5, GR1, GL5, GL1, and MX, each differing in dimensions, strokes, and output signals. They offer resolutions of 0.005 or 0.001 and outputs of TTL or EIA-422-A. The models are suitable for various applications, including CNC machines.
Measuring System: The GALILEO series uses a transparency-type measuring system with infrared beams passing through a collimator and a graduated glass line, activating phototransistors to create sinusoidal signals. These are processed into square wave signals for displays and control devices.
Protection and Suitability: The reading component is protected by an aluminum container with flexible gaskets to prevent oil, dust, and chip penetration, making it suitable for use on various machine tools.
Technical Specifications: The document provides detailed technical specifications, including cross-section dimensions, measuring standards, optical detecting systems, resolution, max traversing speed, accuracy, repeatability, hysteresis, protection standards, power supply, output signals, reference marks, standard cable length, and operating temperature.
Key Data: The optical lines have a glass scale with a grating period of 20 microns, a transmissive optical detecting system with an infrared wavelength of 880 mm, and a vertical 5-bearing supporting system. The systems offer high accuracy and repeatability, with protection conforming to DIN 40050 IP53 standards.

Elbo s.r.l. Strumenti di misurazione e Metrologia Optical lines ELBO MEASURING SYSTEMS The GALILEO systems, with limited overall dimensions, permit a high accuracy and can be fi tted on machine tools such as lathes, boring machines, grinding machines, milling-planing machines, measuring benches, etc. On the contrary, the MXRL systems are designed for large machines and offer the possibility to add different shorts lenghts, to obtain measures over 10 metres. The encoders E-66 and M-2 are able to survey angular movements and to be driven by measuring racks. The range of GALILEO linear transducers includes 3 models differing for dimensions, strokes and output signal. Each model is available with 0.005 or 0.001 resolution and TTL or EIA-422-A output. The GT5 and GT1 models are optical scales for universal uses and are available with strokes from mm. 50 to mm. 1800. The GR5 and GR1 models give output signals according to EIA-422-A standard for applications to CNC, etc. The GL5 and GL1 models are optical scales with reduced dimensions and are available with strokes from mm. 50 to mm. 600. The MX model has oversized dimensions and it is available with stroke up to mm 3050.

Emitters (1) send out an infrared beam which passes through a collimator (2) and a graduated glass line (4), then activates phototransistors (5). Because of the graduation shifting between glass line and collimator, the intensity of infrared beam received by phototransistors varies, creating sinusoidal signals proportional to the graduation pitch. Then, these signals are processed by interpolation electronic circuits which transform them into square wave signals for displays, positioners and numerical control devices. In linear measuring systems, the reading component is protected by an aluminium container (7) provided with fl exible gaskets (6) in order to avoid oil, dust and chip penetration. These measuring systems are particularly suitable for usage on machine tools such as: milling machines, boring machines, lathes, punching machines, grinding machines, measuring benches, enlargers, presetting, microscopes Optical lines "GALILEO" series GT5GT1GR1GL5GL1MXCross section (mm x mm)21.5 x 33,5 length 50/180020,0 x 29,0 length 50/60037 x 56,5 length 1500/3100Measuring standardGlass scale - grating period: 20 micronOptical detecting systemTransmissive infrared wave lenght : 880 mmSlide carrier systemVertical 5 bearing supporting system Resolution5 micron1 micron1 micron5 micron1 micron5 micronMax. traversing50 m/min10 m/min10 m/min50 m/min10 m/min50 m/minAccuracy 50 600 mm± 6 micron± 4 micron± 4 micron± 7 micron± 5 micron± 10 micron 650 - 1000 mm± 10 micron± 8 micron± 8 micron ± 10 micron 1100 - 1500 mm± 10 micron± 8 micron± 8 micron ± 10 micron 1600 - 1800 mm± 10 micron± 8 micron± 8 micron ± 10 micron 1900 - 3150 mm ± 10 micronOne-direction repeatability2 micron1 micron1 micron2 micron1 micron2 micronTwo-direction repeatability5 micron2 micron2 micron5 micron2 micron5 micronHysteresis3 micronProtectionDIN 40050 IP53Power supplyDC V ± 5% OPTIONAL 12 V ± 5%Output signalsTTLTTLEIA - 422 - ATTL/EIA - 422 - ATTL/EIA - 422 - ATTL/EIA - 422 - AReference mark1 in line centre Standard cable5 mOperating temperature(0 - 50) °C http://www.elboitaly.it Powered by Joomla!
