Magnetic Scale Read Head | Magnetic Grating Positioning Solution for Automated Stone Cutting (Guangdong)

Project Background:

A Guangdong manufacturer of automated stone cutting machines produces fully automatic stone cutters used widely in quarries and stone processing plants. During operation, raw stone is transported onto a feed pallet which then moves into the processing area. Because the system is program-controlled with minimal manual intervention, embedded sensors must accurately detect the stone position.

 Challenges:

Harsh environment: heavy dust and strong vibration during cutting.

High precision: finished premium marble panels require excellent edge quality and straightness.

 Solution:

(Atonm MRR-H500 Read Head + Atonm magnetic tape)

We use the Atonm MRR-H500 magnetic scale read head kit. The read head mounts on the feed pallet and magnetic tape on the travel rail. As the pallet moves, pulse signals are output to the host. Compared with other options, the Atonm read head offers high precision, fast response, strong stability, and simple operation, and has received high marks from customer engineers.
