The MSQscale is an optical, incremental measuring system made up of the MINISLIDE MSQ guide system and the following additional components:
A Dimensional scale on the guide rail
B Optical sensor integrated into the carriage
C Flexible print (must not be exposed to dynamic loads)
D Interface module
The high-precision dimensional scale is part of the hardened guideway's surface. The sensor records the optical signals and supplies the raw signals. These are produced in the interface module in either analogue or digital format, and can be processed by the customer.
