A Linear Scale is a precision measuring device used in CNC and conventional machines to accurately measure linear movement. It provides real-time position feedback, helping improve machining accuracy, repeatability, and productivity. By reading micrometer-level movement directly from the machine axis, it eliminates mechanical backlash and leadscrew errors.
We supply two main types of linear encoders, each tailored to different industrial machining requirements and operating conditions.
Glass Linear Scales use precision-etched glass gratings to provide highly accurate position measurement. They are widely used in milling machines, lathes, grinders, and CNC machines where high precision is required.
Magnetic scales use magnetic sensing technology and are ideal for harsh industrial environments where coolant, dust, oil, and vibrations are present.
Provides accurate position feedback for improved machining quality and tight tolerance work.
Displays machine tool movement instantly on the DRO console for responsive adjustments.
Reduces setup times, minimizes operator manual counting errors, and speeds up turnaround.
Improves machine repeatability, efficiency, and reduces workpiece scrap rates.
Linear scales are commonly installed on:
Proper installation and calibration ensure maximum measurement accuracy and machine performance. Professional mounting, alignment, and testing are essential for reliable operation.
