Yes, profiled guideways can also measure. Meet MONORAIL AMS.

Published by Schneeberger USA

Until just a few years ago, machine manufacturers had to install mechanical linear guideways and electronic measuring systems individually. With the integrated AMS distance measuring system, we've combined the functions of measurement and guidance in one product.

Electronically supported linear technology not only allows the user to make precise and low-loss movements from one point to another, it also provides information on the system’s current position. 

Even under extreme conditions, the AMS distance measure system reduces thermal deviations and works more precisely and efficiently than systems with separate components.

And when space constraints and performance are required for distance measurement, again, the integrated MONORAIL AMS distance measuring system is the solution.

All MONORAIL AMS integrated measurement systems are available in different sizes with a variety of carriage types machine-compatible, and ready to install for mechanical engineering and automation applications.
