Electronica Mechatronic: Serving The Precision Industry For 4 Decades

Precision manufacturing industry needs precision instruments to work with. Without precision instruments, the measurement of physical parameters like time, temperature, weight, lengths etc will be go awry resulting in imprecise output.

One of the most important precision used today is the Height measuring machine. Also, the magnetic linear encoders are the latest addition to this growing list of preferred tools by precision instrument makers and users. So how exactly do these instruments contribute towards precision output?

Height measuring machine in simple terms is the instrument that helps in measuring height of any given object. While the origin of this instrument is unknown, it is estimated that the earliest version of this instrument appeared in 3rd or 4th century BC. In those days, such instruments started getting used in agriculture, trade and early construction activity. While the precision level of the instruments used then is not known, some of the instruments were known to be very precise and found wide ranging applications in other sectors too.

However, with the development of the Vernier calliper, modern era of measuring instruments was born. Today’s precision height measuring instruments are the part of this great lineage. However, when compared to their older generations, these instruments are far superior in their accuracy, sturdiness and reliability.

Height measuring instruments like Optima, Ultima and Platina series by Electronica Mechatronic Systems are considered to be one of the most advanced, precise and reliable ones in the industry today. They find ready acceptance in industries that look for repeated precision measurements. With manual or motorised probe movement, the Optima, Ultima and Platina series can be used in multiple industries. With an ergonomically designed controller and TFT or soft-touch keyboards, these instruments make it easy for the operator too to perform his task repeatedly for longer period of times. Also, the measurement data could be either stored in a USB drive or could be transferred to a computer for storage and further analysis. While most instruments carry a standard length probes, the Platina series have an option of using a long length probe upto 300 mm thereby taking difficult measurements easily. All such height measuring instruments made by Electronica Mechatronic Systems operate with a Li-ion battery that lasts for more than 16 hours thus giving a long working life under normal conditions. Also, the machine itself is sturdy enough to easily operate in temperature ranges between 10 to 40 degrees Celsius. No wonder calibrations labs and large manufacturing units which need instant height measurements rely on the Optima, Ultima and Platina series of instruments.

Another important tool when it comes to measurement is the magnetic linear encoder. Simply put, a linear encoder helps in encoding a position. The sensor converts the current position into digital signals and denotes the precise position on a monitor or any other output device. Encoders are generally of three types – Optical, magnetic or capacitive. However, the magnetic variety is the most used due to its sturdiness and precision calculations. Also, compared to the optical versions, the length of magnetic tapes can go longer. In fact, Electronica Mechatronic Systems makes magnetic linear encoder that can go to as long as 60 meters in length. The advantage of magnetic encores over the optical ones is that their sensitivity towards any kind of dust, dirt, liquids etc is very low making them an ideal choice on a shop-floor.

The precision manufacturing industry owes a lot to these instruments for their growth. Electronica Mechatronic System is a Pune based organisation that is well recognized as the maker of precision measurement instrument. Operating in this field for close to four decades now, Electronica Mechatronic System is India’s leading designer and manufacturer of encoders and is also an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. With its state of the art designing and manufacturing manned by highly skilled staff, the company offers world-class solutions to companies in India and abroad on precision measurement.
