DELOS Brand Optical Glass Linear Scale — 100-970 mm/0.005

The DELOS optical glass linear scale is a high-precision measuring device used in CNC machinery and other automation systems to provide accurate position feedback. It consists of a glass scale with precise markings and a reader head that detects movement.

The DELOS W5R series is available in two resolutions: 5 micrometers (0.005 mm) for standard precision applications and 1 micrometer (0.001 mm) for high-precision requirements.

These linear scales are available in various measuring lengths, including 100-970mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1400mm, and 1600mm, to fit a wide range of machine tools.

The DELOS linear scales are designed for high-speed applications, with a maximum running speed of 60 meters per minute.

Yes, they have an IP54 protection rating, which means they are protected against dust and splashing water, making them suitable for typical shop floor conditions.

They provide TTL / EIA-422A (RS-422) output signals, which are standard for most digital readout (DRO) systems and CNC controllers.

The scale operates on a standard 5V DC power supply.

Each scale typically comes with the reader head, a protective aluminum cover, and mounting hardware. The specific contents may vary, so please check the product details.

Yes, we provide a GST invoice for all purchases, allowing you to claim input tax credit.

Yes, all DELOS linear scales come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects.

This variant is ideal for users who need a versatile, standard-precision scale for small to medium-sized machines like milling machines or lathes, where the measuring length can vary.

This high-precision variant is best for applications on small to medium machines that require superior accuracy, such as grinding machines or high-precision CNC mills.

Choose this 1-meter scale for standard-precision applications on medium-sized CNC machines and automation systems.

This is the perfect choice for high-precision tasks on 1-meter beds, such as in precision manufacturing and quality control equipment.

This scale is well-suited for larger lathes and milling machines requiring a 1.2-meter measuring length with standard 5µm resolution.

For large machines involved in high-tolerance work, this 1.2-meter, 1µm resolution scale provides the necessary accuracy.

Ideal for long-bed lathes and large gantry systems where a 1.4-meter travel needs to be measured with standard precision.

This high-resolution scale is designed for large-format precision machinery, such as large CNC routers and boring mills, requiring a 1.4-meter length.

This is the go-to option for very large machines, like long-travel milling machines, that require a 1.6-meter measuring capacity with 5µm resolution.

For the largest precision applications, this 1.6-meter scale with 1µm resolution offers the ultimate in accuracy over a long distance.

The primary difference is accuracy. A 1µm resolution scale is five times more precise than a 5µm scale, making it better for high-tolerance machining. However, the 5µm models are more cost-effective and sufficient for many standard applications.

Measure the maximum travel of the machine axis you want to fit the scale to. Choose a scale with a measuring length equal to or slightly greater than this travel distance.

Yes, the 1µm high-resolution models are priced higher than the 5µm standard-resolution models of the same length due to the more advanced internal optics and finer glass etching.
