Magescale encoders and readouts

Magnescale (Magnescale Americas, formerly Sony Magnescale Digital Readouts) provides a measurement system for harsh environments. The magnetic principles employed make detection less affected by oil and condensation, often found in toolroom and manufacturing environments. Magnescale Co offers systems that employ linear encoder, rotary encoder, sensor, or counter based measurements. These systems can be retrofitted to most machine tools to improve accuracy and durability, which reduces scrap and improves your bottom line.

Example of the various methods offered, contact Windsor Industrial Sales for a complete list of capabilities and options.

 

 Linear encoder

Linear Encoder

  • Slim type allows installation in narrow spaces
  • Magnetic system enables use even in environments with condensation, oil, and other adverse conditions
  • Supports the communication protocol of each supporting manufacturer
  • Same thermal expansion as iron
 Rotary encoder

Rotary Encoder measurement

  • Enables direct communication using the protocol of each supporting manufacturer without the requirement of an amplifier
  • Magnetic system allows use even in environments with condensation, oil, and other adverse conditions
  • 96mm diameter through-hole allows for design and mounting flexibility
  • Dual head configuration reduces the effect of axial runout
 Sensor encoder

Sensor/Head Cable Unit

  • Output signal: AB quadrature signal, compliant with EIA-422
  • Maximum resolution: 10 μm
  • Max response speed: 300 m/min (varies with the read head and settings).
  • Excellent resistance to workshop conditions (IP65).
  • Resistant to oil, dirt, vibration, and shock.
Counter for mill or lathe

High performance counter for Mill and Lathe applications

  • Counter for Milling machine and Lathe
  • Display Resolution Switching
  • Machine error compensation
  • Data Storage
  • Reset/Preset
  • Detecting Reference Point of Measurement Unit
  • Program function
  • Multi datum point
  • Milling function (Bolt hole circle / Easy R cutting / Line hole)
  • Lathe function (Tool coordinating / Adding function)
High speed interpolator

High response speed interpolator unit for position control

  • Capable of 40 to 1000 divisions
  • Produces AB quadrature signals with a resolution from 2 μm to 125 μm, when used in combination with the optionally available DigirulerR PL25 head unit and the SL110/130 scale unit (scale signal wavelength: 5 mm), or with the PL60 and the SL331 scale unit (scale signal wavelength: 2 mm).
  • MJ100: Supply voltage 5 V input, Line driver (EIA-422 compliance) output
  • MJ110: Supply voltage 12 to 30 V input, Open collector (lOL=50 mA maximum) output
  • MJ100 also generates U/ V/ W phase output with a period of reproduced DigirulerR signal (5 mm with PL25; 2 mm with PL60)
