MINISCALE PLUS Product Overview
10.1 Product Characteristics
Highly integrated, compact design
• The measuring sensor is integrated into the carriage and requires no additional
installation space
Minimal design planning
• Thecosts ofa separate distance measuring system are not required
Quick and easy installation
• MINISCALE PLUS is delivered ready-to-install
• No need for additional components and special mounting (as would be required
for a glass scale, for example)
• Distance measurements do not have to be adjusted
• Mountinga measuring scale is not necessary
Consistently high level of accuracy
• Measurements are made directly as part of normal operation. This significantly
reduces the chance of Abbe errors
• Immune to vibration and shock as a single assembly
• The measuring scale is part of the guide rail. This reduces theeffect of the thermal
aspect ratio and amount of compensation required for the controller
High level of reliability and long service life
• MINISCALE PLUS is based on the successful MINIRAIL design.
• The dimensional scale is marked directly on the guideway. The sensor is perfectly
integrated into the carriage and sealed
