SINO Brand KA-600 Series Optical Linear Glass Scale — KA600-1200/0.005 mm

The SINO KA-600 is a high-precision optical linear glass scale used for accurate position measurement in machine tools like milling machines, lathes, and grinders, often as part of a Digital Readout (DRO) system.

The KA-600 series is available in two resolutions: 5µm (0.005 mm) for standard precision and 1µm (0.001 mm) for high-precision applications.

We offer the SINO KA-600 in various measuring lengths, ranging from 1200 mm up to 3000 mm to fit a wide range of machine tool travel distances.

The SINO KA-600 linear scale is rated for a maximum running speed of 60 meters per minute, making it suitable for most machining operations.

The KA-600 series features an IP53 protection rating, which means it is protected against dust ingress and spraying water, ensuring durability in typical workshop environments.

The scale provides both TTL Square Wave and RS-422A output signals, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of digital readout (DRO) displays and CNC systems.

With its standard DB9 connector and dual TTL/RS-422A signal outputs, the KA-600 is compatible with most major DRO brands. Please check your system's input requirements to confirm.

All SINO linear scales purchased from us come with a 1-year replacement warranty against manufacturing defects for your peace of mind.

Each scale comes with a mounting hardware set. Installation involves rigidly attaching the scale body to the stationary part of the machine and the reader head to the moving part, ensuring precise alignment.

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

The KA600-1200/0.005mm is the most affordable option for machines with a travel of 1200mm. It's ideal for general-purpose machining where standard 5µm accuracy is sufficient.

Choose the KA600-1200/0.001mm for high-precision tasks like grinding or jig boring on smaller machines (up to 1200mm travel) where 1µm resolution is critical.

This model is a great choice for mid-sized lathes and milling machines with up to 1400mm of travel, offering a balance of standard precision and cost-effectiveness.

For precision work on mid-sized machines (up to 1400mm), the 1µm resolution of the KA600-1400/0.001mm provides the extra accuracy needed for tight tolerance jobs.

Ideal for users with machines requiring 1600mm of measurement at standard 5µm accuracy. It's a popular choice for retrofitting medium-sized milling machines.

This high-precision 1µm model is for demanding applications on machines with 1600mm of travel, where accuracy is paramount.

A standard resolution scale for larger machines with an 1800mm axis, suitable for fabrication and general machining tasks.

Covering a 2-meter travel, this 5µm scale is perfect for large milling machines and boring mills where long-distance measurement is required.

This model is for large machines requiring a 2200mm measuring length with standard industrial accuracy.

A 2.4-meter scale for very large machine tools, providing reliable 5µm resolution measurement over its entire length.

Choose this model for machines with a travel of 2600mm, such as large gantry mills or lathes, requiring standard 5µm accuracy.

This 2.8-meter scale is designed for very large machining centers and custom automation where long-axis feedback is needed.

Our longest KA-600 model, the 3-meter scale is for oversized machines, providing dependable 5µm resolution for the most extensive travel requirements.

Resolution is the smallest measurement the scale can detect. A 1µm (0.001mm) scale is five times more precise than a 5µm (0.005mm) scale. Choose 1µm for high-precision work like grinding and 5µm for general milling and turning.

Measure the maximum travel of your machine's axis (e.g., the table travel on a milling machine). Choose a scale with a measuring length equal to or, ideally, slightly longer than this travel to ensure you can measure the full range of motion.

The best value depends on your needs. The 5µm resolution models offer excellent performance for most general machining and are more affordable. The 1µm models provide higher precision at a premium. The shorter length models are the most budget-friendly.
