10.2.4 Reference Marks

Standard version

The reference track is located next to the incremental track. The reference mark is

located between the second and third attachment holes as standard (as shown).

Special versions

Any number of reference marks can be chosen at any position along the reference

track. It is necessary for the reference marks to be synchronised with the

dimensional scale. Specifically this means that the reference marks can only be

placed in multiples of 0.1 mm, since the pitch of the dimensional scale is 0.1 mm.

A minimum distance of 1.5 mm between the reference marks should be main-

tained.

Restrictions

• The attachment holes on guideways oftype MN 7 and MN 9 are located on the

reference track. The reference marks must therefore be BETWEEN the attachment

holes for both of these sizes.

• When specifying the reference mark(s), ensure they can be seen by the carriage’s

sensor.
