The length measuring system IZ16E is a combination of an external magnetic sensor that is connected via a
drag-chain suitable cable to the display device.
For the measurement a coded magnetic tape, which provides the sensor with the necessary information (current
position), is glued along the distance that has to be measured. Therefore, the sensor is installed parallel without
contact to the magnetic tape and because of that the system is wearless.
The external sensor with its protection class is resistant for any type of dust, dirt and water-jet and with its
compact installation size it is easy to integrate in existing or new constructions.
The position indicator has extensive possibilities of parameterization (see section 10.3.6) and can be easily
adapted to different applications. The basic functions, which are available in the standard-software, cover a
wide range of applications. There are also customized versions (on request) available for special types of
machines.
For the installation no special tools are needed, there are no wire or electrical connections required. The length
measuring system IZ16E is therefore particularly suitable for e.g. mounting on movable slides and stop systems,
since no power supply cables are to be accompanied. The new snap-in mounting (snap-in-housing) allows an
easy installation in a defined panel cut out e.g. in a front panel.
The option built-on enclosure with mounting holder allows flexible assembling (mounting holder above /
mounting holder below / angle adjustable). Retrofitting is also simplified.
ADVERT
In the power-off mode the movements or adjustments of the magnetic
sensor are not covered!
A reference has to be conducted after the start of operation (at a
required mechanical position, the indicator is to set e.g. ZERO)
ADVERT
The resolution of the measurement system is 0.01mm!
All settings of the multiplication factor refer to this resolution!
