Product overview:
Incremental
LENGTH- AND ANGLE MEASURING
SYSTEMS based on the AMOSIN® –
Inductive Measuring Principle
■■ Inductive encoders comparable
to optical encoders in both,
accuracy and resolution
■■ No magnetic components, no
magnetic fields, hysteresis or
demagnetisation risk
AMO began work on the second generation inductive encoders, making advances for higher accuracies and product
miniaturization.
The result was the first AMOSIN® series of length and angle measuring systems which have been and proven to be
very successful and well received in the marketplace. With this development we advanced into the “high end signal
sub-division” which allowed us to offer resolutions and accuracies that had previously only be achievable with opto-
electronic encoder systems.
The substantial growth of the company required additional manufacturing space and the company moved into a new
and larger building in autumn 2007.
As the company has grown, we now have subsidiaries in Germany, USA and Italy, and have established a large
dealer network in other industrialized countries.

Our customers around the world are very satisfied as we achieve on-time deliveries with our products having very
good reliability and high quality, and also our “know-how” to customize our products to so that our encoders are inte-
grated into the existing machine design, rather than having to re-design their machines to fit a standard encoder.
Our inductive encoder products have an IP 67 rating that is insensitive against contamination over the complete
range of products. This allows design engineers to place encoders in the ideal location on a machine – close to
where the machine operations are performed, independent of the fluids and dust or dirt.

AMOSIN® - Measuring principle
An important feature is that using the patented AMOSIN® measuring principle does not give rise to any measurement
hysteresis (machine backlash error). In contrast to magnetic systems, the high-frequency alternating field suppres-
ses any hysteresis in the material.
The evaluation electronics provides an incremental output either as a sinusoidal or as a square wave signal.
The 1Vpp sinusoidal signal is available with period length down to 20 µm. This is equivalent to 32768 signal periods/
revolution on a rotary system with a diameter 163mm for example. Alternatively a TTL square wave output with reso-
lution down to 0.125 µm can be used.
In addition to the periodic quadrature signals (A, B and their inverted) a reference signal is output for the determinati-
on of absolute position. This signal is generated from a single, multiple or distance coded pattern of reference marks
integrated into the measuring tape and does not require any additional parts.

AMOSIN® - angle measuring systems
AMOSIN® angle measuring systems can be applied to a wide range of applications due to the pure inductive scan-
ning principle and the robust IP 67 rating.
Almost any diameter from about 80 mm up to several meters can be manufactured in a short time.
Our encoders can be supplied for not only high speed applications for spindles but also for extremely high accuracies
for rotary tables and swivelling axes.
The mechanical flexibility of the AMOSIN® angle measuring systems permits designers to simplify and improve the
integration of a rotary measuring system.
Exacting requirements regarding design, signal quality, reliability and robustness are met with AMOSIN®.

AMOSIN® - length measuring systems
Open non-contact, and guided inductive linear encoder systems are available for any measuring length. With the in-
ductive scanning principle, exceptionally high speed operation, and bi-directional repeatability of one encoder count,
the AMOSIN® length measuring systems can be used in an exceptionally wide range of applications from precision
measurement instruments, to high-dynamic linear motor applications, to the harshest applications in machine tools,
where robustness along with precision are required.
Reference marks are integrated on the measuring tape, and can be supplied with a single, multiple, or distance
coded patterns.
The purely inductive scanning allows for the high protection class IP67 where the operation of the systems is not af-
fected by contamination and pollutants in the form of dust, smoke, or liquids. Optical encoders require a complicated
mechanical encapsulating enclosure, and also commonly incorporate air purging to protect the optical scale - neither
which are necessary with the AMOSIN® encoders. Particularly noteworthy is the insensitivity from magnetic interfe-
rence as there are no magnetic components in the purely inductive scanning and a completely different technology
than magnetic encoders.
The LMI-310 series consists of individual rail sections up to 4 m long that can be combined for measuring lengths up
to 30 meters.
The individual rail sections have a groove on the top, into which a continuous steel measuring tape is laid with a
locking “snap cover” holding the scale tape in place. Alignment pins and clamps, including a tightening/stretching
mechanism, allow the measuring tape to be fastened securely, which would permit multiple assembly/dismantling to
be carried out without significant time and effort.
The linear guideway measuring carriage contains the sensing head, which guides the inductive sensor precisely over
the integrated measuring tape. The carriage wipers protect not only the guiding elements as well as the inductive
scanning sensor. The LMI-310 measuring system is commonly used for machine tools and on linear axes with long
travel paths. IP 67 rating insures the encoder is not impaired or affected from oil or coolant.
