    Z-300


  A simple solution for measurement and positioning at high speeds: An opto-electronic dector head moves along a perforated steel tape, registering the number of holes, at speeds up to 10 m/s.

  The flexible, stainless steel tape is stretched between two points and does not need to be fixed accurately to a flat base, allowing an wasy mounting.

  Absence of mechanical parts and large perforations (2mm) ensures that the system has excellent life and wear characteristics.

Most Common Applications are:

· Profile, tube and panel   cutting.
· Positioning of robots or   pneumatic/hydraulic   cylinders.
· Gantry positioning.
· Automatic storage etc...

Z-300 range

Meterdrive products are destined to displacement measurements in industrial environnments. This range includes linear incremental detectors using an accurate metallic perforated rule. Useable measuring lenghts are up to 250 m. 

For lower resolution, see : 

  • Z-200 range including detectors with 1 mm resolution. 
Products are as follows : 

Z-300 : High-accuracy measuring rule 

PictureHigh resistance and high accuracy stainless steel perforated rule for Z-301 detector heads. Rule is available in lengths up to 250 m. Fitted with large perforations enabing system to perform satisfactorily in most industrial environments. However, care should be taken before using this product in extremely dusty or fibrous atmospheres such as in wood industry.

  • Mounting : 
    Thanks to its flexibility, rule can be mounted in many different ways : 
  • Stretched between two points : max recommended length : 2  meters. Beyond  this limit, rule must lay in a profile or has to be  supported every meter. 
  • On a pulley with a counterweight. 
  • Rolled inside a housing with a spring for automatic  rewind (F. ex. Rollzam, see Z-200 datasheets). 
  • Etc. 
  • Z-301 AAS -0 : High resolution detector head with assymetrical outputs

    Picture0,1 mm resolution detector head fitted with connector for Z-214 plug. Same extension cables as Z-201 -0 heads can be used.  Reading speed up to 10 m/s. Assymetrical output signals A, B and E to be compatable with Z-200 range counters. A and B are usual quadrature signals, while E is an error signal which occurs when rule or detector glasses are dirty or when power-supply falls under minimum.
