Mitutoyo Launches EJ Counters, LG100 Linear Gages

Mitutoyo America Corporation is adding new EJ Counters and LG100 Series Linear Gages to its sensor lineup of metrology products.

EJ Counters and LG100 Series Linear Gages are designed to be used inline or in measurement cells, enabling real-time measurement and data management in varying work environments.

Features of the EJ Counters and LG100 Series Linear Gages include:

• Environmental resistance: According to the company, the 10-mm range model offers sliding durability of more than 50 million cycles, with protection level of IP67G. A highly oil-resistant material is used in the rubber cap and cable sheath, so it can be used even in harsh environments.
• Reference point detection: Reference point signal output functions are featured throughout this series. When incorporating into a device, the master setting value is easy to set and retained after shutdown.
• Compact size and ease-of-use: The series is designed to be high-speed and compact, offering production site visualization, improved productivity and information feedback. Up to eight compact EJ Counters can be linked, providing the capacity to connect to 16 gages. On a DIN rail, each unit can be connected directly without using cables. All linked units and gages can be driven by one power source.
• CC-Link connection, USB connection: Data can be output through an industrial interface (CC-Link) by linking a compact EJ Counter with an interface unit. Constant data monitoring and positional management are performed. A USB interface is also provided for connection to a computer.
• Calculation function: Enables sum difference operations between two gages connected to the same counter. Additionally, functions such as tolerance judgment and peak hold are included.
