OPTICAL SCALE READING HEAD KA-600

Description

The Optical Scale Reading Head KA-600 is a high-precision linear encoder reading head used in CNC machines, milling machines, lathes, grinding machines, and industrial measuring systems. It works with a KA-600 glass scale to convert mechanical movement into accurate digital position signals for a DRO (Digital Readout) system.

It uses photoelectric (optical) scanning technology to read the scale markings and deliver precise position feedback, typically in micron-level resolution (1µm / 5µm depending on the system).

Key Features

• High-precision optical reading head for KA-600 linear scale systems
• Photoelectric sensor technology for accurate position detection
• Compatible with CNC, lathe, milling, and grinding machines
• Supports long stroke measurement (typically 1000 mm to 3000 mm scale range)
• High-resolution output (1µm or 5µm depending on encoder type)
• Stable signal transmission for industrial environments
• High resistance to vibration and machining shock
• TTL / RS422 output signal compatibility (system dependent)
• Designed for SINO KA series DRO systems (KA300 / KA600 compatible variants)
• Long service life with low maintenance requirements
