The slim unit body contains plain bearings with 2-point support structure disperses load and achieves superb durability. The sensor head offers long life and reduces maintenance costs dramatically.

Notes :

The accuracy and robustness of the HG-S series are backed by master craftsmanship.
The plain bearings are accurately aligned with the center of the spindle during their installation to the top and bottom sections of the body to ensure smooth sliding.
This process involves careful adjustment of each bearing by a skilled worker. Even though the plain bearing has a certain width, the clearance is managed to the accuracy of several μm.
Those with experience in mechanisms design will know that this value signifies amazingly high control precision.
The high-precision, robust sensor is made possible by master craftsmanship.
Maximize the high accuracy of our sensors in your pursuit of "ever higher levels of quality."

A new structure supports the spindle with upper and lower plain bearings to significantly increase rigidity. Unlike ball bearings, these bearings efficiently disperse lateral loads on the spindle, significantly reducing the risk of breakage.

Notes :

Displacement is measured by reading a glass scale with a different slit pattern at each reading position using a high-resolution sensor. This eliminates "value skipping" even when measuring at high speed, and there is no concern of "unset zero point".

Tip deviation, which impairs measurement accuracy, is minimized. The precision with which the HG-S series is assembled makes this possible.
* Less than 40 μm 1.574 mil on the HG-S1032.

Even if unexpected upward thrust occurs, the lower part of the spindle blocks the impact. Damage to the internal structure, including the glass scale, is minimized.

* As of January 2017, according to our survey.

 

The sensor head can be changed safely without turning off the controller. This reduces the man-hours required for the change of line setup for processing of different workpieces, thus achieving a significant reduction of setup change time.

 

The controller features the industry's first* dual display and offers versatile
functions and excellent ease of use.
It allows simple and reliable operation of the advanced measurement function in a diversity of applications.

* As a sensor product using optical absolute method, as of September 2015 (according to our company's investigation)

 

The following data are stored and can be used for analysis on the spot.
• Abnormal sensor head upward thrust value
• Number of sensor head upward thrusts
• Cumulative total number of sliding operations

Alarm can be set to notify an upward thrust (stroke) that exceeds the set level. This allows you to conduct a preventive maintenance before the sensor head generates a malfunction.

The 2-line digital display simultaneously shows head measurement (measured value) and judgment value (calculated value).

 

Values between allowable maximum and minimum values are indicated in green. Values outside of the allowable range are indicated in orange. This provides at-a-glance understanding of the margin to the tolerance limits.

 

The selective copy function significantly reduces the man-hours required for initial setting and maintenance.

 

Align with master workpiece and press ENTER key for easy tolerance setting.

 

One master unit can be connected with up to 15 slave units in any order. This allows easy multi-point calculations.
