MagLine - Magnetic length and angle measurement Product overview Economical solutions and innovative technologies for industrial applications The MagLine range is a classic example of SIKO’s innovative power. The systems are based on the magnetic measurement principle. Special benets of MagLine: ■ Completely wear-free ■ Insensitive to dust, shavings, humidity, oil, fat, etc. ■ Very robust with shock and vibration ■ No measurement errors caused by gear ratios or gear backlash ■ High system accuracy and reproducibility ■ Easy handling and mounting The challenges faced by measuring devices in extreme...

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 dened 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...

MagLine - Magnetic length and angle measurement Product overview MagLine Basic Track-proven and mature, the Basic range features an especially wide range of components for incremental or absolute measurement. The system’s resolution makes it suitable for measurements right down to the μm range. All measured values can be displayed directly or converted by other controllers for further processing. The Basic series also features interfaces for integration into almost any industrial environment. The versatility of this range is also demonstrated in a series of ready-to-use products. The sensor-display...

MagLine Macro Macro is specially designed for very long distances with both absolute and incremental measurement. The systems provide a reading distance of up to 20 mm, e.g., to compensate for height variations, and accuracy data also designed for particularly long tracking paths e.g., in storage and conveying technology. As the sensors are fully encapsulated, MagLine Macro is suitable for use in extreme conditions such as stone processing. The advantages of the high protection category (IP67) and its resistance to even extremely dirty conditions are fully revealed in such applications. Standardized...

MagLine - Magnetic length and angle measurement Technical details The magnetic measurement principle A sensor registers the magnetically encoded path information and converts this to standardized interface signals for subsequent processing. The core element of magnetic linear measurement is a permanently mounted magnetic band (also called the scale). This band is scanned by a magnetic sensor which forwards the information either to an electronic evaluation system, a higher-level controller (PLC) or directly to a connected magnetic display. The actual magnetic linear measurement is based on the...

The quasi-absolute method This method is based on incremental measuring methods. The measured values are buffered in a system-related electronic evaluation unit so that they are available as absolute values. An integrated battery ensures that currentless motion is also recognized. The specially developed lowest-power technology enables reliable operation for up to 10 years without changing the battery. When installing battery-buffered systems, the prescribed maximum reading distance between the sensor/band must not be exceeded, otherwise measurement information can be lost even with this method....

MagLine - Magnetic length and angle measurement Technical details Incremental systems: Reference signals of sensors and magnetic bands 1. A sensor with the code “0” (without index) is only equipped with one sensor element which measures length. A sensor version without index runs, for example, with MB500/1 incremental (one track). 2. A sensor with the code“I” (index signal) is also only equipped with one sensor element which measures length. With an additional electronic system an index signal is generated by the sensor for each period. A second track on the band is not necessary to generate...
