The series of linear position measuring

Linear Scales
Linear scales serving as linear position measuring devices are mainly used in machine tools, such as milling,
drilling and boring machines, lathes, electrical discharge machine, grinding machines. They are available for
measuring lengths up to 30 meters. Measuring lengths more than 3 meters are solely manufactured in China.

Display Units
A digital readout consists of one or more linear scales or rotary en-
coders for traverse measurement and a display unit for showing position
values. They are typically ftted or retroftted on machine tools such as
milling, drilling and boring machines, lathes, and grinding machines.
