SIKO magnetic scale
The German company SIKO was founded in 1963. The company is dedicated to the research, development, and production of length measurement technology, angle measurement technology, revolution count measurement technology, as well as inclination and speed measurement, for use in industrial and mechanical engineering applications. SIKO has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2008.
SIKO Magnetic Scale Introduction:
1 coding for magnetic length measurement technology and magnetic angle measurement technology: The magnetic scales (flexible steel strips with a magnetic layer) are manufactured with precision and care at SIKO. Through specialized development, the magnetic scale systems can feature one or more magnetically coded tracks.
2 magnetic incremental measurement as an economical solution: Incremental coding provides robust and cost-effective all-around solutions. For example, flexible magnetic scales can be assembled independently before self-adhesive installation. Incremental magnetic scales are periodically coded with north and south poles. The pole pitch determines the resolution and system accuracy. The shorter the distance between single poles, the higher the accuracy class of the magnetic scale.
3 absolute measurement for high measurement reliability: The absolute coding of the scale material gives the system particularly strong repeatability and measurement reliability. Equipped with magnetic sensors, absolute magnetic measurement allows position detection even in the event of a power failure. After a power interruption or when the system is restarted after being switched off, the actual position value can be detected and converted even if the sensor position changed during that period.
4 easy installation of magnetic length measurement systems and magnetic angle measurement systems: The MagLine series of magnetic length measurement systems and magnetic angle measurement systems can be installed directly on positioning or machining processes, avoiding measurement errors caused by gear backlash or shaft tolerances. The reading gap between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic scale can be significantly larger compared to optical measurement systems. Consequently, it is not a problem if the gap exceeds the boundaries of the defined measuring range (e.g., due to inaccurate guidance). The accuracy and repeatability of the position values are not adversely affected.
