Precise positioning with the LMSCA

Published on : Wednesday 01-09-2021

The German manufacturer Wachendorff Automation is expanding its product portfolio of length measuring systems.

August 2021 – The new LMSCA system is extremely compact and yet extremely robust. The system is just 120 mm long and requires very little installation space! It can be combined with measuring wheels of 200 mm circumference.

WDGP incremental encoders with freely definable pulse number: With the pre-assembled encoders of the WDGP series, resolutions of 80 pulses per millimetre or 0.0125 mm per pulse are achievable. The proven Wachendorff magnetic sensor technology is now available with ANY pulse count from 1 to 16,384 pulses per rotation.

The inverted signals, TTL and HTL output are also selectable when ordering. Other important features of the measuring system: Adjustable contact pressure from 0 to 20 Newton in 5 Newton increments, as well as a loss-proof central screw.

The patented tooth grid has been developed for simple and definite mounting for a longer service life. The LMSCA is rigidly mounted using the multiple mounting options, with the measuring wheel placed loosely on the moving material. The teeth are loosened with only one central screw, which is secure against loss, and a defined force of the measuring wheel is applied to the material with the tooth grid.
