Optical reading heads use light sources and photodetectors to read position data from reflective or transmissive scales, offering high resolution. Magnetic reading heads use magnetic sensors to detect magnetic patterns on scales, providing better durability in harsh environments with dust or fluids.
Our reading heads feature aluminum alloy housings for lightweight durability, optical glass lenses for precise light transmission, and silicon photodetectors for accurate signal detection. These materials ensure reliability in industrial machinery applications.
Regularly clean optical components with appropriate lens cleaners, ensure proper alignment with the linear scale, protect from excessive vibration or shock, and maintain recommended operating temperatures. For magnetic versions, keep sensors free from metallic debris buildup.
