MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE:
The gage heads mainly use transmission-type photoelectric linear encoders, as shown below. In this type, the
light source (LED) and the detector element (photodiode) face each other with the main scale
and index scale (20m pitch) positioned between them.
As the scale moves with respect to the detector, the intensity of the light passing
through the window in the index scale varies constantly. At this time, two synchronized sine-wave signals
having a relative 90-degree phase difference are output. These signals are then amplified and split electrically
(with additional waveforms inserted) and output as 0.1m, 0.5m, 1m or 5m square-wave signals.

OUTPUT:
The gage head processes internally detected signals and outputs square-wave signals as shown below. These
operating signals, which are square waves having
phase difference of 90 degrees, are equivalent to RS-422A signals, allowing for the independent use of the gage
head. However, certain models (LGD and LGS), do not output square-wave signals but generate Digimatic
code (SPC) output in order to identify the measurement position.

Mount GS-1700/1800/6700/6800 Series Linear Gauge Sensor to Mounting by squeezing stem
the xing device so that the spindle moving direction coin- cides Recommended tightening torque: 0.4 to 0.5Nm
with the length (displacement) direction of the object to be
measured (see the gure below).
Mounting using the xing holes on the main unit.
When the sensor is mounted, there is a gap of approximately 0.2mm
between the sensor top and the mounting surface.
Never try to eliminate this gap by pressing with brackets, etc
When squeezing the stem, note the following:
After mounting, check movement of the spindle. If the spindle
does not move smoothly, it is tightened excessively. Retighten the stem Mounting by squeezing stem using collar
with less torque. Notethat, with too little torque, the stem is not secured
disabling accurate measurement (do not x the stem by directly pushing Recommended screw : 4
with a screw). Recommended tightening torque : 0.4 to 0.5Nm
If the spindle moves smoothly after tightening the stem, it is
tightened appropriately.
The mounting surface and base bottom of the sensor are made parallel
and rectangular with the stem, respectively. Rectangular mounting can
be accomplished easier by forming L-shaped lower end of the xing jig.

Mount a rigid sensor xing jig so that the spindle is rectangular with the
object to be measured.
The recommended mounting angle is 0.15 (squareness 260m/100mm)
or less.
The linear gauge sensor obliquely mounted will cause a lateral force to Recommended collar size
be applied to the spindle, resulting in and material
failures. Material: Brass
MEASUREMENT:
Procedures for measuring with GS-1700/1800/6700/6800 Series Linear
Gauge Sensor are as described below.
Connect a gauge counter to the linear gauge sensor.
Holding the gauge head with ngers, slowly move the spindle for
measurement (move the spindle close to the measurement object until
the gap is 1mm or less and then let the spindle fall).
The spindle stopper inside the sensor is made of rubber. Therefore, it
should not be used as the reference point for measurement.
Use the point where the spindle is pushed in 0.2mm or more as the
reference point.
APPLICATIONS:
Incorporation into auto-measurement machine:
Gage heads (LGF with EH counter) can be incorporated
into the auto- measurement unit for outside diameter
and/or height measurement.
Parallelism measurement of copying machine
parts:
Gage heads (LGD with EV counter) can be used to measure
the parallelism of copying machine parts.
Multipoint measurement on parabolic antenna:
Gage heads (LGB with EV counter) can be used to perform
multi-point measurements on a parabolic antenna surface.
Built-in sensor for machine tools:
A gage head (LGM with EH counter) can be used to measure
a workpiece which has been machined on a surface grinder.
Mobile terminal chassis multipoint measurement:
Multiple point measurement of mobile terminal parts is
performed with Linear Gage LGF-0510L-B and EV counter
EV-16P.
Multipoint measurement on copying machine
chassis:
Gage heads (LGS with EV counter) can be used to perform multi-
point measurement on a copying machine chassis. In the case of
large workpieces an absolute type that eliminates the necessity of
setting a master workpiece will be useful.
Sorting of parts:
A gage head (LGF with EB counter) can be used to sort parts
by size. The EB counter can divide the dimension into seven
steps and output the signal for sorting.
Measurement of sash rail warp:
Gage heads (LGF with EV counter) can be used to measurethe
warp of sash rails.
