Frequently Asked Questions about the MINISAM Measuring System by SCHNEEBERGER

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.

The SAM measuring system offers five interface options: BiSS/SSI, ABZ, UVW, SPI, and analog Sin/Cos interfaces.

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.

The SAM measuring system can be integrated into all MINIRAIL sizes and carriage types, ranging from size 5 to 42.

  • 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.
