Resolution 0.5μm, response speed 10kHz absolute linear scale.

Temposonics offers excellent non-contact absolute displacement sensors using magnetostrictive technology, which serve as alternatives to traditional linear potentiometers, linear encoders, and rotary encoders. This absolute position sensor is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling machines that perform hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical positioning. Additionally, the sensor head is equipped with a uniquely developed high-performance LSI, allowing for not only position detection but also the detection of movement speed, enabling the provision of a complete operational profile of the machine. It can compare a user-defined target value with the actual position using a single sensor and can simultaneously measure the position at up to 30 locations. Many other features are also included. Due to these characteristics, it is adopted in various applications such as industrial equipment, robotics, welding, medical devices, and wind and wave power generation.

Simultaneously measure the 'absolute position' and 'movement speed' at up to 30 locations.

Simultaneously measures absolute positions at up to 30 locations + movement speed. This is a linear scale that applies Temposonics' unique magnetostrictive technology. It achieves high resolution and non-contact measurement, enabling highly durable and precise linear displacement measurement in harsh industrial environments. It can detect multiple positions simultaneously and absolutely, which is impossible with other linear encoders, potentiometers, LVDTs, magnetic tape/optical linear scales, and it also allows for the measurement of movement speed. Being non-contact and absolute, it requires almost no maintenance. This multi-position measurement function is available in the Temposonics R series models with CAN, Profibus, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP interfaces.

Achieving a resolution of 0.5μm with Temposonics, higher accuracy through linearity correction.

In applications such as cold rolling, pressing, tie bar distortion detection, and testing equipment/simulators, high-precision real-time position measurement is required. For this reason, Temposonics' magnetostrictive linear scales have been developed to provide high-quality measurements for applications that require high-speed sampling rates and dynamic control. They offer a resolution of 0.5μm over strokes of up to 20m, with linearity below ±0.01% F.S., and by using linearity correction options, linearity can be improved by 3 to 10 times. They are completely unaffected by oil and dust, eliminating the need for maintenance.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2025" held in Fukuoka. ECAD is a dedicated CAD solution for electrical design, equipped with a wealth of features for control design and power distribution panel design, developed for domestic electrical designers over the past 40 years. It addresses challenges such as improving design quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing labor. At the venue, we will introduce the "Panel Manufacturing Skill-less Solution," which utilizes the panel manufacturing support system "WIRE CAM DX" to create pre-manufacturing information as a solution to the labor shortage issues in panel manufacturing that have traditionally required skilled workers. This enables less experienced operators to achieve high-quality manufacturing in processes such as wire processing, component assembly, and wiring work.
