Nrb bearings supplies advanced integrated measuring system from schneeberger. The measuring system is based on the concept of integrating linear magnetic scale into a precision linear motion guide. This unique combination technology in the integrated measuring system provides machine designers the cost-saving and robust alternative to linear glass scales requiring additional hardware. The integrated measuring systems are provided with technical specifications like significant assembly time and close alignment with guides for proper performance and the linear scales provide positioning feedback in all three axes for optimal machining accuracy and repeatability. Each schneeberger advanced measuring system includes a hard cover band protecting the magnetic scale from accidental physical damage that could lead to signal decay. The amsa [generation 3.0 and higher] integrated measuring systems are also available with latest wear-free ceramic sliding elements on electronic scanning head for long-term contamination protection. Amsa measuring systems uses an electronic scan head attached to the schneeberger guideway carriage. The company provides schneeberger amsd 3-a integrated measuring systems in mr25, 35,45,55 and 65 roller guide sizes and amsd 4-a in bm15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 ball guide sizes. The integrated linear scales are most applicable in machine tools because of its greater durability and small space requirements than glass scales.
