Magnetic Length Measuring System For Press Brake

Peschel Dynamics offers a new product, GS-I Magnetic Length Measuring System, from Elgo, Germany for use in press brakes (alternative to glass scales). GS-I is a guided magnetic incremental length measuring system. GS-I consists of a sensor head, an integrated translation unit, a guiding body and a guiding rail with magnetic tape. This guiding rail is available in all lengths up to one meter. The series GS-I operates with a resolution of 0.00122 mm. The repeat accuracy is 0.005 mm. The length measuring system GS-I is conceived for dynamic applications up to 4 m/s operation speed and especial developed for press brakes. The translation unit calculates the sinusoidal signals into speed-proportional, 90Degree phase shifted square waves in 5 V/TTL- Line Driver or 10-30 V/HTL push-pull. The sensor head is moved contact-less over the magnetic tape with a distance of 2 mm. This will be assured through the mechanic guiding system. Thus, the system is totally maintenance free and free of wear. Due to a direct measuring, tolerances like slip or pitch are balanced. Features: max resolution of 0.00122 mm (at 4-times edge triggered); power supply/signal 5 v or 10-30 v; inverted signals; reference pulse; measuring length up to 1 metre; high-quality guiding system; compact sensor with integrated translation unit; speed proportional square wave outputs; robust, dirt and shock resistant; and cost-effective alternative to glass scales. Peschel Dynamics offers advanced products that are proven to provide more up time, while enhancing productivity, flexibility and machine cycle time. These products can be easily installed; adjusted and integrated; some of them are almost unique worldwide in terms of functionality and flexibility.
