ProScale Model 580 Measuring System

ProScale Model 580 shown with Sliding Carriage and Encoder

The ProScale Model 580 uses Incremental inductive measurement technology.
It is a general purpose measuring device with an integrated linear friction bearing system. The Model 580 uses a custom extrusion design incorporating a dual rail with four friction bearings. A sliding carriage assembly captures the Encoder and moves along the scale on four friction bearings minimizing pitch & yaw of the encoder for the utmost in accuracy and repeatability.
The Model 580 was designed as a stand alone measuring system or to be the foundation of systems designed by end users for their particular measurement applications.

Features:

• The carriage/encoder can be moved up to 60 inches per second.

• The Model 580 supports multiple carriage assemblies/ Encoders and Readouts operating simultaneously on the same Scale.

• Model 580 systems can be ordered with a special General Purpose Digital Readout incorporating both non-linear scaling and temperature compensation

• This carriage has several holes predrilled for mounting the Digital Readout,
  a wireless data transmitter, a handle or other user features as required for the user's application.

• One year warranty for defects in workmanship.
