PathFinder
50/100
Model 8781/8782
• The PathFinder Measuring Scale
uses a precision glass scale, designed for years of trouble-free service
in machine shop environments.
• To
prevent accidental damage, the glass scale is enclosed in a .187 inch
(4.7mm) thick extruded aluminum housing.
• To
complete the enclosure we use a unique sliding stainless steel sealing
tape, rather than rubber seals that degrade over time. This design has
proven to be extremely effective in preventing coolants and other
contamination from entering the scale housing.
• The
PathFinder measuring scale is the ideal choice for the majority of
machine tools. It's easily installed on milling machines, boring mills,
lathes, VTL's, grinders, and many other machines, with linear motion of
up to 80 inches (2000 mm.)

PathFinder 50/100
Model 8787/8788
• The Slimline Scale Assembly is
designed for machine applications where there is limited space available
for mounting. With a 1 inch (25mm) by 1.25 inch (32mm) cross section,
including the mounting spar, it is adaptable to many small machine
tools.
• The
Slimline uses a precision glass measuring scale mounted in an extruded
alumnium housing, with a tight closure rubber seal to protect it from
damage and contamination.
• Because
of its small size, the Slimline is especially useful on optical
comparators, grinders, the cross slides on lathes, and on the rear side
of milling machine tables.

PathFinder Rack & Pinion 50/100
Model 8795/8796
• The Rack & Pinion Measurement
scale is designed for large scale machine tools applications. It
consists of a series of 12 inch (304mm) long sections of precision
ground rack enclosed in an extruded aluminum housing. Heavy rubber flaps
seal the front of the housing, providing protection from contamination.
• Stainless
steel and aluminum construction makes the rack & pinion the best for
large heavy-duty machinery where other types of measuring scales could
be damaged easily.
• A
heavy-duty sealed rotary encoder with an integral steel pinion meshes
with the rack, using a spring loaded mounting bracket to eliminate any
backlash error for higher accuracy.
• While
the rack & pinion measuring scale can be used in the majority of
machine tool applications, economically it is best suited to large
boring mills, lathes, and other machine tools with linear motions
exceeding 80 inches (2000 mm.)
