Bosch Rexroth Integrated measuring system for handling applications

With its sensor system completely integrated in the ball runner block, the IMScompact integrated measuring system determines the exact position with a high repetition accuracy of ±1 μm. IMScompact enhances the range of linear guides and is available in sizes 15, 20 and 25, making the measuring system for ball rail systems a compact and cost-effective extension for smaller machines. Integration into the runner block ensures high EMC protection, which means IMScompact is also suitable for use in combination with linear motors. The measuring system is not subject to wear, either incremental or absolute. It increases precision and dynamics, particularly for handling applications or general automation solutions.
