First select a product category. Here you can choose between linear encoders, angle encoders or length gauges.
Select the accuracy of the incremental length gauge that meets your requirements. You can choose between two accuracy classes, SPECTO for ±1 µm or METRO for ±0.5 µm.
The position detection can be incremental or absolute. The incremental measuring method provides a relative position as well as direction of movement, which requires an assignment to a reference point (starting point) at the beginning of the measurement. This is done by homing the axis. The absolute measuring method provides concrete position information at any axis position. A reference run at the beginning of the measurement is not necessary.
At this point you can select the type of bolt actuation. You can choose between two variants, spring-driven or pneumatic. With spring-driven length gauges, the built-in spring extends the measuring bolt into the measuring position and builds up the measuring force. The measuring bolt is extended in the rest position. On length gauges with pneumatic bolt actuation, the bolt extends when compressed air is applied. When the compressed air connection is vented, the built-in spring retracts the measuring bolt.

NUMERIK JENA has mastered this challenge by introducing high-precision touch probes. These length gauges provide accurate measurements of sheet thickness and flatness, ensuring consistent production and minimizing quality deviations. NUMERIK JENA's length gauges are specially designed to meet the requirements of e-mobility production.
In the e-mobility industry, the quality of vehicle components is of crucial importance. One of the biggest challenges is to precisely measure the flatness and thickness of sheet metal.
A leading mechanical engineering manufacturer integrated the high-precision length gauges from NUMERIK JENA into its automated straightening benches. Several length gauges in combination enable extremely accurate real-time measurements of neighboring measuring points and provide an optimal database for efficient evaluation.
When using straightening benches for machining, it is necessary to record many measuring points quickly and precisely in order to detect and correct deformations immediately.
By using high-resolution length gauges from NUMERIK JENA, a leading testing laboratory for materials technology has been able to significantly improve its test procedures. The length gauges measure strain with the highest precision and reproducibility - even with minimal deformation and under dynamic loads. Thanks to their optical scanning and robust design, the NUMERIK JENA length gauges are ideal for demanding test conditions.
Manufacturers face the challenge of reliably analyzing the mechanical properties of new materials - especially when developing lightweight but resilient components for industrial use.
NUMERIK JENA has developed customized length gauges in close cooperation with leading manufacturers in the watch industry. These length gauges have been specially adapted to the individual requirements of customers and offer reliable and repeatable measurement of even the smallest details.
The watch industry faces several challenges in which the precise length gauges from NUMERIK JENA play a decisive role.
The new platform design offers many advantages for users in a wide range of (metrology) applications such as quality assurance or production metrology.
