Analog or Digital / Magneto Resistive with Rollers or Balls

AMSABS 3L

AMSA 3L "The product for all lengths" is now made possible by highly accurate machining and measurement of the rails. A special design of the rail ends for butt joints, when used in combination with the AMSA 3L reading head, allows the carriage to run over the butt joint, so that measuring axes of any desired length can be constructed.  

To achieve a high level of availability of AMSA 3L components worldwide, each size is manufactured in 3 m segments, and both ends of a segment are prepared for the AMSA 3L butt joint.

AMSA 3B and AMSD 3B

MONORAIL AMSD 3B is an integrated magneto-resistive measuring system for distance measurement based on the MONORAIL MR profile guideway with an incremental, digital interface. The AMSA 3B is the starting point for this product. The profile rails are thus identical and are compatible with both AMSA 3B and AMSD 3B.

The AMSD 3B version has an incremental, digital interface and a range of reading head options that permit different resolutions and allow the system to be adapted to control systems with different input frequencies.

SCHNEEBERGER’s AMSA 3B MONORAIL is an integrated measuring system for distance measurement for use on all protected machine tool axes with high demands on system precision. Mechanically the AMSA 3B is based on SCHNEEBERGER’s MR MONORAIL roller guide with lengths up to 6 meters. The integration of the measurement system allows very compact axes to be put together.

An analog 1Vss (200 μm signal period) interface, with different cable lengths, is available as the interface with the control system. Combined with SCHNEEBERGER’s SME interpolation electronics, very high-resolution and fast digital signals can be provided. Reference marks can be set at 50mm intervals or distance coded.

Different options for carriage lubrication and sealing permit the best possible degree of adaptation to application requirements. The easily interchangeable reading head is identical for all sizes.

AMSA 4B and AMSD 4B

For the ball-profiled linear guideway MONORAIL BM, SCHNEEBERGER has developed the integrated magneto-resistive measuring system AMS 4B. In metrological terms, it corresponds to the AMS 3B and thus offers the same advantages in terms of assembly, cost savings, accuracy, and process reliability. AMS 4B products are preferably used when there are stringent requirements for the travel speed and the dynamic properties of the axes. The two existing AMSD 4B and AMSA 4B versions differ in that AMSD 4B has an incremental digital interface and the AMSA has an analog voltage interface of 1 Vss for connection to all common controllers. The AMSA 4B is the starting point for the AMSD 4B.
