Operating Conditions From the Idea to the Solution The Magnetic Measuring Principle MagLine pursues the idea of replacing mechanically acting measuring systems, consisting of rotary encoder, rack and pinion, with a noncontact system on a magnetic basis. To date, 4 product groups cover the entire range of industrial measurement tasks. Essential distinguishing features are accuracy, resolution and the reading distance. MagLine's magnetic SIKO technology is the first choice in terms of precision, reproducibility and, above all, robustness of the measuring processes. The main areas of application...

INCREMENTAL & ABSOLUTE MEASUREMENT METHOD Incremental to absolute measurement The magnetic measurement is carried out either incrementally, quasi-abso-lutely or real-absolutely. Incremental Systems In the incremental system, the magnetic band is magnetized in uniform periods w'th north and south poles, whereby the pole length determines the max. resolution and accuracy, among other things. If the encoder is moved over the band, the path information is generated from the periods and is displayed as a digital square-wave signals (counting pulses) or analog sine, cosine signals. The counting of...

Possibilities for Referencing an Incremental System 1. You use a system consisting of encoder without reference signal and a magnetic band with one track The system can be referenced either by moving to a defined position, e.g., a stop block or by linking a specific position to an external encoder (limit switch, light barrier, etc.). Problem: depending on the design of the stop block or the external sensor, the repeatability of this method is not sufficient. 2. You use a system consisting of encoder with index signal "I" and a magnetic band with one track Absolute Systems 3. You use a system...
