Ordering Notes
Important Reminders
- AMS 3B carriage has built-in read head, output interface type must be specified
- Analog output (AV) requires separate interpolator and cable
- Digital output (DR) requires separate digital cable
- Incremental system requires homing procedure after power on
- For absolute measurement, please select AMSABS 3B series
