FeaturesThis chapter describes the features of this product, appellations and functions of each part,and the flow of the main tasks to use this product.

The linear scale will output a moving amount and displacement as digital amounts based on a linear
scale graduated in certain fixed pitches.
This can precisely measure moving amounts of various instruments including electronic/semiconductor manufacturing units and machine tools.
This product is an absolute linear scale which utilizes superior electromagnetic induction resistance tothe environment.
This product measures all position coordinates from the fixed origin regardless of coordinates measured just before the measurement.
Also, this product does not require an origin return step at the starting time of work or during a power
failure, and does not require batteries for backup, which will contribute much labor saving.
Moreover, this product has excellent dustproof/waterproof performance, which makes it possible foryou to use this product in harsh environments where chips or cutting oil occur.

2.4.1

Datum Point Position for the Length Variation and ABS Origin
Point

The fixing parts of the scale unit are divided into the full-fixing parts and the elastic fixing parts.
The "datum point position for length variation", which represents the reference point for the scale’smechanical expansions and contractions due to changes in temperature, is shown below.
Note with caution that users are not able to change this datum point position.
The "ABS origin" is electrically set at the "datum point position for length".
Elastic fixing parts

Tips• The quantity of the elastic fixing parts is different depending on the effective length.
• The elastic fixing parts cannot be moved horizontally.
• The system's overall temperature characteristics are stabilized by setting the behavior of the center position in regard to the machine unit's temperature change and the scale unit’s datum point position for lengthvariation closer.

2.4.2Counting Direction

When the detector head is moved rightward in the diagram below, the output serial data will increase

Scale Main Unit Mounting Directions and Cover Preparations

When installing this product, be sure to install the cover so that cutting oil, chips, etc. do not splatter
onto the scale main unit.
Only the dust proof-rubber lips are used to protect the scale opening side from the intrusion of foreign
objects.
Therefore, when deciding the mounting direction of the scale main unit, give consideration to thesplattering directions of the cutting oil, chips, etc., since the opening side poses a greater hazard offoreign matter intrusion than the other sides.

Precautions on Designing the Mounting Surface

The following describes precautions on designing the mounting surface.
For details of the mounting specifications, refer to"4.7 External View and Dimensional Drawings of
the Scale Main Unit" on page 48.
For details of the mounting procedures, refer to"3 Mounting onto the Machine" on page 15.

 Precautionsy The mounting surfaces of the scale main unit and the detector head must be machine-processed
and the flatness must be 0.05/500 or below.
y There is a gap between the scale main unit and the detector head mounting surfaces, therefore,
remove it by the machine processing so that the gap is within the processing tolerance of 2±0.1
mm. When adjusting the position by inserting a spacer, etc., be sure to measure the gap before
mounting the scale.
y When mounting the scale main unit, the position must be adjusted in the vertical direction, as indicated in the figure below.
It is recommended to use positioning pins, etc. to simplify the position adjustment.
Note that the vertical reference for positioning the scale main unit is the aluminum frame surface.
y Use the head fixing block to adjust the clearance between the scale main unit and the detector
head.
For the details of the mounting method, refer to"3 Mounting onto the Machine" on page 15.

 Connect the cables and check operations
1 According to "3.4.2 Connecting the Signal Cable", connect the detector head and the signal cable.
Then connect the signal cable to the NC device. When the cable length is not enough, add a feedback
cable (prepared by the user). After connecting them, make sure that the screws on the connecting
plug of the signal cable are fully tightened.

Tips
When connecting additional cable at your need, make sure that the total length together with the signal cable is
29 m at maximum.

2 Turn on the power and check the operations, functions, and performance of the scale.

NOTICE• After turning on the power, if the scale unit does not operate normally, check the connections first. If thescale does not operate normally even after the status of connections is checked and the power is supplied
again, investigate the cause, following the instructions in "5 Troubleshooting".
• When checking the scale operations, be very careful that no cables are being pinched by the machinery.
• When connecting the connectors, if swarf or other foreign objects are sandwiched in, that may cause malfunctions.

Alarm Detection Function

This product is equipped with various alarm detection functions inside the detector head.

4.5.1

Alarm Detection Function

Alarms can be categorized into two groups: Caution and Error.
The Caution indicates the temperature error inside the detector head. In those cases, once the causes are removed, the normal state can be restored.
As for the Error, signal intensity errors or absolute values detection errors, etc. are detected. Oncethese errors occur, the error detection state will be maintained until they are reset, or the power is
re-supplied.

Air Purging

This product is equipped with an air purging mechanism. The air purging mechanism improves resistance to the environment (over coolant or dust) of the linear scale by supplying clean compressed air
inside the scale main unit.
As shown in "4.6.3 Connection", supply compressed air through the specified air device by connecting
to either of the M5 screw holes provided at both sides of the scale main unit.

4.6.1

Air Flow Supplied to the Scale

Supply air flow at 10 L to 20 L/min per scale.
Air should slightly come out from the closed part of the dust-proof rubber lips.
Adjust the air flow referring to the descriptions below.
y When using Mitutoyo's fixed diaphragm (ID: Ø0.9)
Make adjustment with the air pressure, so that the air flow becomes 10 L to 20 L/min (per scale unit).
(Ref.) When supplying air to a scale:Air flow approx. 12.7 L/min with 0.1 MPa of air pressure						

Air flow of approx. 19 L/min with 0.2 MPa of air pressurey When using other fixed diaphragms
Make adjustment with the air pressure, so that the air flow becomes 10 L to 20 L/min (per scale unit).
For information on the air flow and pressure relationships, refer to the flow characteristics (ID of the
fixed diaphragm and flow-pressure relations) provided by each pneumatic component manufacturer.
y When using flow rate adjustable valves
Make adjustments so that the air flow becomes 10 L to 20 L/min (per scale unit).

NOTICE
Make sure not to supply a large amount of air before making adjustments. Otherwise, it may cause components
to break thereby resulting in malfunctions.

4.6.2

Recommended Air Supply Devices

An air dryer is not required for this product.
Do not supply air to the air supply device directly from the compressor. Make sure to supply compressed air through a main line air filter. The oil mist filter element should be replaced after a year.
Attach the fixed diaphragm to the scale side.
The specifications and the manufacturer models for recommended air devices are described in thefollowing.
If the specifications are identical, it is fine to purchase and use a product manufactured by anothercompany.
