Linear Scale for Long Machine Tool Axes
Heidenhain’s LC 200 linear scale is designed for linear measurement on machine tool axes ranging to 28 m (almost 92 ft.), and it can be used with linear motors.
The linear scale is assembled on the machine from individual components. According to the company, the housing sections feature improved mounting and sealing technology. An integrated seal on the face and a tongue and groove system make it possible to lightly slide the housing sections together. Large mounting tolerances facilitate assembly of the entire system.
