Mysore-based kirloskar electric has introduced digital read out systems. The high reliability of the system makes it particularly suitable for installations on machine tools and ensures correct working also in heavy conditions. The protections given to avoid any malfunctions avoid any maintenance and reduce servicing. Scale housing is in extruded anodised aluminium ts 16-size [mm] 39 x 23; section 461 mm2; weight [kg/m] 1.245. Flexible coupling for compensation of misalignments and self-correction of mechanical hysteresis is given. It has following technical specifications:
- small overall dimensions - very strong and stiff due to its wide cross-section
- double protection along the sliding side [four lip seals]
- reader head made of plastic with metal insert
- die-cast slider with setting screws
- rubber gasket for a better fit of mechanical parts [in case of disassembly]
- reinforced supply cable without external connections [connector is inside the slider]
- hybrid circuit calibrated by laser-high stability for the signals [negative signals from line-driver] direct output from slider
- high reliability and speed of zero references
- liberal mounting tolerances
- completely detachable - possibility of direct maintenance
