4Product Features
The length measuring system IZ16E is a combination of an external magnetic sensor that is connected via a
drag-chain suitable cable to the display device.
For the measurement a coded magnetic tape, which provides the sensor with the necessary information (current
position), is glued along the distance that has to be measured. Therefore, the sensor is installed parallel without
contact to the magnetic tape and because of that the system is wearless.
The external sensor with its protection class is resistant for any type of dust, dirt and water-jet and with its
compact installation size it is easy to integrate in existing or new constructions.
The position indicator has extensive possibilities of parameterization (see section 10.3.6) and can be easily
adapted to different applications. The basic functions, which are available in the standard-software, cover a
wide range of applications. There are also customized versions (on request) available for special types of
machines.
For the installation no special tools are needed, there are no wire or electrical connections required. The length
measuring system IZ16E is therefore particularly suitable for e.g. mounting on movable slides and stop systems,
since no power supply cables are to be accompanied. The new snap-in mounting (snap-in-housing) allows an
easy installation in a defined panel cut out e.g. in a front panel.
The option built-on enclosure with mounting holder allows flexible assembling (mounting holder above /
mounting holder below / angle adjustable). Retrofitting is also simplified.
ADVERT
In the power-off mode the movements or adjustments of the magnetic
sensor are not covered!
A reference has to be conducted after the start of operation (at a
required mechanical position, the indicator is to set e.g. ZERO)
ADVERT
The resolution of the measurement system is 0.01mm!
All settings of the multiplication factor refer to this resolution!

Applications

5Applications
5.1 Magnetic measurement
5.1.1 Direct Distance Measurement
The magnetic tape is glued on a solid ground
(e.g. machine base) along the measuring
distance.
5.1.2 Angle Measurement 0…<360°
Example 1) Indicator [mm], resolution 0.01mm
ÆP02=0 / P03=2 / P08=1,0000
Example 2) Indicator [m], resolution 0.001m
ÆP02=2 / P03=3 / P08=0,01
Example 3) Indicator [Inch], resolution 0.001 Inch
ÆP02=1 / P03=fixiert=3 / P08=1,0000
The magnetic tape is glued on a solid ground (e.g.
angle stop) along the measuring distance.
To parameterize the indicator or to calculate the
multiplication factor a low angle of 90° is very
suggestive, the reason is that the actual
measurement distance (=angle) is dependent on the
bending radius of the magnetic tape.
Example: Indicator [ ° ], resolution 0.01°
ÆP02=3 / P03=2 / P08=1,0000 / P09=0
a) Start to the desired mechanical Zero point, then
set the indicator to the reference value.
b) Start to the defined angle position (e.g. low
angle, 90°) and note the actual value at the
indicator (e.g. 471,20)
c) Calculate and enter the multiplication factor:
P08 = Angle/ Display Value
(e.g. P08 = 90° / 471,20 = 0,1910)
ÆP02=3 / P03=2 / P08=0,1910

Applications

5.2 Measurement with pole ring
5.2.1 Indirect Distance Measurement
A
pole ring / magnet wheel is mounted on a rotating axis
(e.g. motor shaft).
Example: Spindle drive with gear box, the pole ring at the
engine, indicator [mm], resolution 0.01mm, pole ring
(D=48mm) with 60 poles per ≈2.5 mm, transmission
reduction = 10:1, Distance per spindle revolution = 3mm
ÆP02=0 / P03=2 / P08=
Displayed Value/Rmagnet wheel = Number of
poles* 250
(e.g.: 60 * 250 = 150.00 mm)
Measuring Distance/Rmagnet wheel = 3 mm / 10 = 0.3 mm
ÆP08 = Measuring Distance /Rmagnet wheel / Displayed Value
/Rmagnet wheel = 0.002
ÆP02=0 / P03=2 / P08=0,002
5.2.2 Angle Measurement 0…360°
A
pole ring / magnet wheel is mounted on a rotating axis.
Example: Angle measurement, Indicator [ ° ], resolution
0.1°, pole ring (D=48mm) with 60 Poles per ≈2.5 mm
ÆP02=3 / P03=1 / P08=
P08 = (360° / resolution) / (Number of
poles* 250)
(e.g.: (360° / 0,1°) / (60 * 250) = 3600 / 15000 = 0,24
ÆP02=3 / P03=1 / P08=0,2400

6.3 Magnetic Tape MB20-25
The magnetic tape contains the necessary digital information needed for linear length measurement using an
ELGO length measuring systems. Basically a distinction is made between incremental and absolute measuring.
The incremental measuring system consists of reading electronic, which is scanning north and south poles on the
magnetic tape and is creating a Sine and Cosine signal.
These signals are electronically interpolated, the resolution of the measuring system results of the interpolation
rate and the pole length.
6.3.1 Components
In the standard case, the magnetic tape is delivered as described. It is installed by gluing it to the respective
mounting surface.
The magnetic tape consists of 2 pre-assembled components (see Figure 1):
A magnetized, flexible plastic tape (Pos. 3), which is connected with a magnetically conductive steel
tape as inference band (Pos. 4) and is supplied with an adhesive tape (Pos. 5).
A magnetized permeable cover tape (Pos. 1), which serves for the mechanical protection of the plastic
tape (not required for the measurement) and is supplied with an adhesive tape (Pos. 2).
Therefore a divergent tape structure and scope of delivery is also possible (see section 8.1).
The cover tape is also available separately (see section 11.3).

6.3.2 Handling
In order to avoid tension in the tape, it must not be stretched, compressed or twisted.
It should be stored with the magnetized plastic tape to the outside (see Figure 2), the minimum bending radius
must be noted here (see section 6.3.5).
