Manufacturing productivity and quality absolutely depend on accurate production machine data - which is why Bosch Rexroth created the IMS Integrated Measuring System to enhance the value and performance of our linear rail technology.
Seamlessly integrated into our ball rail and roller rail systems, Rexroth provides choices: The IMS-I incremental measuring system, or the IMS-A, an absolute length measuring system. Both linear encoders provide accuracy comparable to glass measurement systems (without requiring additional machine space) and are ideally suited for external measurement applications in systems such as machine tools.
The IMS-A integrated measuring system offers both absolute and incremental coded scales, with the absolute code band completely integrated into the rail. It provides:
The IMS-I integrated measuring system uses the inductive measuring principle for non-contact position measuring. It provides:
