MAG-TS’s performance, design characteristics and ease of installation make it ideally suited for metal fabrication, sawing, woodworking and general measurement applications.MAG-TS encoder consists of a reading head that travels along a magnetically encoded tape. The tape is made of a ferrous backing affixed to a flexible magnetized rubber substrate that is protected by a stainless steel cover strip.The MAG-TS can be mounted directly to the machine surface by using the provided adhesive strip. Alternatively, the tape can be attached to an optional backer bar that is then mounted to the machine surface.
