 Accurate and Affordable
DRO System

Mitutoyo's Linear Scale Systems tightly couple linear scale units with dedicated digital readout (DRO) units in order
to accurately detect and display displacements for machine tools, measuring tables, 3D printers, XY tables, or any
application requiring measured lengths or accurate positioning. Packages are available for popular machine sizes or
systems can be configured to best meet your specific application. Scale units have many measuring length ranges and
the display units feature remote zero setting, switchable resolution and multipurpose one-touch macro keys. The Linear
Scale System is easy to use and reliable, which can dramatically improve machining accuracy and efficiency.

Note) When selecting the size of a scale unit for your application, make sure that the maximum travel range of the scale unit (L1) is larger than the maximum travel range of
the machine. Also, take into consideration selecting a size that the accuracy of the scale unit is guaranteed only within the range of the effective measuring length (L0).

Note) When selecting the size of a scale unit for your application, make sure that the maximum travel range of the scale unit (L1) is larger than the maximum travel range of the machine. Also, take into consideration in selecting a
size that the accuracy of the scale unit is guaranteed only within the range of the effective measuring length (L0).

is not only determined by the scale unit accuracy but by the machine
accuracy as well. Particularly for machines with slide tables, geometrical Up/down

scale unit must be mounted in a way that these errors are minimized. If the
slide table moves not linearly but curvilinearly, errors occur in proportion to Forward/

Caution: This air supply method is suggested as optional protection for the
scale. The installation of the air supply piping is important and should
be implemented as described in the manual. The air should be filtered
and the filter replaced periodically, depending on the cleanliness of
the air source. Continued use of a heavily contaminated filter may
allow contaminants to pass into the scale unit.

Other considerations
The signal cable is durable enough to withstand repeated bending up to approximately 2 million times (when the bending radius is limited to more than 100mm).
When repeated bending exceeding 2 million times is expected, the signal cable should be considered as a consumable part. In such a case, carrying a spare cable
will allow immediate replacement when necessary and minimize machine downtime.
