Sony SL220-110 Electromagnetic Scale 114 Inch

Product Description

The SONY SL220-110 is an electromagnetic linear scale designed for high-precision measurement applications in industrial and metrology environments. With a resolution of 0.0005 inches and a scale length of 114 inches, this unit delivers fine positional feedback suitable for CNC machinery, coordinate measuring machines, and precision machining equipment. The SL220-110 operates on electromagnetic sensing technology, which provides stable, repeatable readings without relying on optical components that are sensitive to coolant or debris. Installation and commissioning are typically performed by qualified metrology technicians or precision machine tool service personnel.

The SL220-110 is well suited for large-format machine tool applications where extended travel measurement is required. A 114-inch scale length accommodates wide-bed lathes, large milling centers, grinding machines, and similar capital equipment. The accuracy specification of 25+5L micrometers per 1,000 meters of travel makes this scale appropriate for applications demanding consistent, repeatable positional data across long axes. It is intended for permanent installation in controlled industrial settings where machine axes require continuous linear position feedback.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine tool technician or metrology specialist. Power down all machine axes and isolate control power before mounting or wiring the scale. Proper alignment of the read head to the scale body is critical for achieving rated accuracy; refer to the manufacturer installation documentation for alignment tolerances and mounting hardware specifications. Follow all applicable machinery safety standards during installation and commissioning.
