the new and upgraded machine tools at
its plant. After more than two years of
testing, the new system has demonstrated
savings of tens of thousands of dollars,
which has been measured in both reduced
maintenance costs and increased
machine uptime.
Previously, the manufacturer had
relied on optical position sensors for
its metal cutting manufacturing equipment
that included profilers, surface
grinders, and drills. These sensors produced
the required height accuracy,
but they were extremely expensive over
long distances, had continual maintenance
costs and frequently caused unexpected
machine downtime.
By adding integrated measuring systems
into the linear guides of new and
upgraded equipment, motion systems
were able to detect the absolute position
of an axis down to +/-3 µm/m. And
since the motion systems use induction
measurement, they are now wear-free
and require no maintenance.
The integration of sensor technology
and onboard electronics in the
ball and roller runner blocks also
meant design engineers could avoid
external measuring systems and sealing
air systems, which saved both cost
and installation space. Even in areas
where metalworking fluids, dust, and
shavings are present, the new system
