Rexroth IMS
IMS-A absolute position measurement IMS-A: Absolute measurement 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: Absolute position information immediately after system start-up Cost and space savings, since no additional components such as batteries are required Machine switch-on without a reference run, minimizing production ramp-up time IMS-I incremental position measurement IMS-I: Incremental measurement The IMS-I integrated measuring system uses the inductive measuring principle for non-contact position measuring. It provides: Precisely engineered incremental scale and integrated reference marks Absolute positioning measured using inductive sensor to evaluate the incremental scale and individual reference marks Wear-free due to the non-contact system design Key IMS Benefits at a glance: Inductive All components made of steel Scale and sensors are not corrupted by external magnetic fields Wear and maintenance-free Resistant to contamination and vibration Not susceptible to EMV interference
Accurate Repeatability: +/- 0.25µm Position resolution: 0.025µm System accuracy: +/- 4µm/m Coefficient of linear expansion like steel: 11 x 10-6 K-1 Exact positioning even under dynamic load changes Very good circuit dynamic due to high position resolution Small rail deviation even with multi-axis interpolation No thermal compensation necessary with processing steel Integrated Simplified design due to full linear guide integration; no attachments needed Robust and insensitive to dirt and contamination (IP 67 protection type) No sealing air necessary Minimum mounting time: the guide assembly is mounted at the same time as the measuring system Rexroth interchangeability: Comprehensive supply program for Rexroth ball and roller rail systems |
