The SCHNEEBERGER Absolute Measuring System SAM brings linear guides into the digital world of Industry 4.0. This innovative solution integrates guiding and measuring in a single system, supporting multiple interfaces simultaneously, including BiSS/SSI and analog Sin/Cos. The scale, laser-engraved directly onto the guide rail, enables precise and reliable position measurement with an accuracy of over 2 µm. With a compact sensor measuring only 9.9 x 5.0 x 1.1 mm, SAM fits even small linear guides such as the MINIRAIL size 5. This plug-and-play solution saves time and costs, making it ideal for precise applications in sectors like mechanical engineering and medical technology.

Frequently Asked Questions about the SAM Measuring System by SCHNEEBERGER
What are the advantages of the MINISAM measuring system?
MINISAM is an All-in-One solution and the smallest integrable measuring system for miniature guides. It is a Plug and Play system that is ready for use without the need for additional settings or adjustments.
Which interfaces does the SAM measuring system support?
The SAM measuring system offers five interface options: BiSS/SSI, ABZ, UVW, SPI, and analog Sin/Cos interfaces.
How does the SAM measuring system work?
The SAM measuring system operates optically. A central illumination LED sensor and two lensless optical encoder windows detect the absolute position using a Pseudo-Random Code (PRC). Additionally, an incremental encoder is used for the interpolation of high-resolution position data.
In which sizes of the MINIRAIL series can the SAM measuring system be integrated?
The SAM measuring system can be integrated into all MINIRAIL sizes and carriage types, ranging from size 5 to 42.
What does the abbreviation SAM stand for?
- S stands for SCHNEEBERGER
- A stands for Absolute
- M stands for Measuring System
S stands for SCHNEEBERGER A stands for Absolute M stands for Measuring System
The SAM system can either be connected via a flexprint to a connection board or directly to a controller. The flexprint can be customized by the customer. Depending on the application, the customer can decide whether a connection board is needed or not.
