Common Applications of Magnetic Scale Read Heads in Industrial Equipment

Magnetic Scale Read Head is a sensor for measuring linear displacement with high accuracy, strong anti-interference capability and long travel range. This article lists several common application scenarios for magnetic scales.
Press machines mainly process sheet metal. With a magnetic scale installed on a press, the stroke of the press head can be measured to optimize automation.

Horizontal milling machines are among the most widely used millers. In addition to enlarging casting or machining holes on parts, they can mill planes, drill, machine end faces and flanges, and cut threads.

Fully automatic aluminum cutting machines can use PLC programming to control clamping, cutting, feeding and counting. Machines achieve good efficiency and machining accuracy.

CNC machine tools are automated machines with program control systems that drive tool motion according to part geometry and dimensions.

(Long-travel CNC retrofit)

Gantry milling machines are large machines with a frame and long horizontal bed, capable of simultaneous surface processing with high accuracy and efficiency. They are suitable for large workpieces and special components.

Magnetic scale features:

Magnetic scale is water-, oil- and dust-resistant, vibration-resistant and durable. It is cost-effective for lengths over 2 meters and can be extended up to 40 meters.
1. High reliability: full-metal housing, imported flexible wear-resistant shielded cable, and anti-interference hardware/software design;
2. High precision: selectable resolutions such as 1µm, 5µm and 10µm; parallel installation avoids mechanical conversion errors;
3. Price: magnetic scales manufactured by Atonm are competitively priced with robust quality and wide application;
4. Easy installation: compact appearance and convenient installation, but the mounting surface and guide must be flat to avoid measurement errors caused by bends or protrusions.
