Magnetic length measuring systems

Contactless position measurement suitable for the harshest environments.

With a linear magnetic measuring system, the sensor system, also called scanning head or sensor, is guided contactlessly over a coded magnetic tape. You can choose between incremental and absolute sensors. The measuring system is insensitive to dust, chips, and moisture and resistant to many liquids and oils. Various interfaces are available for the respective applications. Kübler always provides you with the optimum sensor technology for your application. That's why we offer countless ordering options and are ready to realize modifications and special solutions for you.

Tehnology in detail :

-Incremental



Incremental measuring systems determine the actual position or the distance covered by counting pulses using a suitable controller. With a magnetic length measuring system, the pole changes on the magnetic tape are evaluated and intermediate values are interpolated.

-Absolute



Absolute measuring systems determine each position using a unique code pattern. Unlike an incremental system, an absolute measuring system does not require a reference run. In the event of a power failure, the current position is available immediately after power is restored.

Application examples :

-Woodworking



Magnetic measuring systems from Kübler are used in woodworking machines and plants in applications such as edge grinding machines, block band saws, saw tables, sliding table saws, drilling centers, coordinate drilling machines, and overhead traveling saws. The key is to record positions accurately, for example to be able to saw boards to the correct length. In addition to its excellent resolution, this sensor technology scores with an extremely compact and robust design. Magnetic length measuring systems are often used in combination with Kübler counters or displays of the Codix series.
