Magnescale Co., Ltd., established in 1969 and the parent company of Magnescale Europe GmbH, is a Japanese manufacturer of high precision measuring systems. The product range includes high precision linear and rotary encoder as well as digital gauges and displays. Magnescale products can be used for a wide range of applications: Digital gauges can be used in various applications like in production lines with multiple measurement points, connecting to Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Ethernet or RS232, but also for small measurements with a direct connection to PC using the USB port. Rotary and linear Feedback encoder are mainly used in machine tools. The magnetic principle prevents damage in harsh environment while utilizing a high accuracy and resolution in the nanometer range. Optical Laserscale encoder are mainly used in semiconductor industry for high precision measurements in picometer range.
