Ordering Notes

Important Reminders

  • AMSABS 3B carriages have built-in read heads; the output interface type must be specified
  • The absolute measuring system reads the position immediately upon power-up, with no homing required
  • For incremental measuring, select the AMS 3B series
  • Read heads can be replaced independently and ordered as spare parts
