AMSABS 3L – the product for all lengths – is now possible thanks to the mechanical and metrological precision of the measuring rail assemblies. The special design of the rail joints combined with the AMSABS 3L read head means that the joints can be traversed and measuring axes of any length can be constructed.
After installation, the absolute position is immediately available once the read head is mounted.
When replacing read heads, there may be minimal deviations of a few tenths of a millimeter. To achieve more precise values, adjustments to the control parameters should be made.
Precise alignment of the read head is not required, as it only needs to be secured with the screws provided.
The periodic measurement deviation is less than 0.6 µm.
When the machine is stationary, the battery lasts about 2.5 years. In single-shift operation, the lifespan is approximately 5 years, while in three-shift operation, when only needed on weekends, the battery lasts around 8 years.
The AMSABS scale is well-protected within the rail, so external fields are neutralized by the rail and surrounding materials, having no impact on the scale.
To ensure that magnetic fluxes from tools or chip nests do not interfere with the scale, the scale is mounted on the side opposite to the linear motor.
AMSABS rails should not be installed using magnetic lifting tools to avoid residual magnetism in the rail.
All components of the MONORAIL MR and MONORAIL BM can be used with the AMSABS system; however, sheet metal wipers are not available in the standard program.

Absolute displacement measurement on particularly long axes - this is only possible with the new developed AMSABS 3L system from SCHNEEBERGER. Referenced once, the measuring carriage is able to permanently able to transmit the absolute position permanently and over the entire length of the measuring axis. Even after switching the power supply off and on again, this is retained.

With MONORAIL AMSABS 3L SCHNEEBERGER provides an integrated absolute distance measuring system especially for the design of long axes with high requests on system accuracy. Mechanically the AMSABS 3L is based on the SCHNEEBERGER roller guideway MONORAIL MR. The particular realization of the rail butt joints in combination with the AMSABS 3L reading head enables to run over joints an to build absolute coded measuring axes of any length. For the controller the absolute interfaces SSI, SSI+1Vpp and Fanuc are available with different cable lengths.
