AMOSIN - general information
AMO's proven and original technology for length- and angle measurements uses techniques for scanning high precision graduations
consists of structures photo-lithographically etched onto steel. Based on this, inductive sensors with integrated evaluation electronics
(in ASIC) have been developed further, to create a new and powerful generation of measuring systems.
The AMOSIN length measuring systems are supplied in 2 principal versions: an open, non-contacting system, or as a guided,
encapsulated system.

Operating entirely on an inductive basis, the AMOSIN systems achieve high precisions of up to +/- 5 m/m, but are nevertheless
very well able to resist environmental influences such as dust, humidity and so for th, also featuring an extremely high resistance to
shock and vibration.
The high precision is mainly due to the procedure used to manufacture the rigid steel measuring tape, and to the exceptionally high
quality sensor signal, with deviations in the sine wave down to < 0.1 % harmonic content, as a measure of the achievable interpolati-
on precision within the grating pitch.
As will be seen from the measuring principle described below, the measuring system does not include any magnetic parts (weither in
the measuring scale nor in the scanning head). As a result it is not at all sensitive to electromagnetic interference of any kind and has
no hysteresis, in contrast to magnetic measuring systems.
The systems output interface is either 1 Vpp sine/cosine signals, or RS-422 square wave signals, in real-time.

AMOSIN - the measuring principle Primary windings

The AMOSIN measuring systems function on the
principle of a transformer with a moving reluctance
core. The mutual inductance of the primary and Micro-coil
secondary windings of a transformer changes in structure
accordance with the relative position of the core.

SIN COS SIN COS
The AMOSIN system consists primarily of a planar Secondary windings Sensor substrate
coil and a measuring scale (Fig.1). The coil

structure, with a number of winding elements
AMOSIN - MEASURING PRINCIPLE
(individual main elements with primary and (Fig. 1)
secondary SIN/COS coils) aligned in the direction
of measurement, is implemented on a substrate
using micro-multi-layer technology. The measu-
ring scale is a stainless-steel tape onto which a
highly precise graduation (e.g. l = 1000 m) of
variable reluctance has been etched using photo- Measuring scale
lithographic techniques.
The relative movement in the direction of measurement between the sensor structure (in the scanning head) and the measuring scale
periodically changes the mutual inductance of the individual coils, generating two sinusoidal signals with a 90 phase difference (SIN
and COS). The extremely accurate signal, and its immunity to environmental influences, has the effect that, after conditioning of the
signal in the evaluation electronics (Fig. 2), deviations of no more than 0.1% from the ideal sinusoidal form (harmonic content)
remains. This allows high interpolation factors (further levels of sub-division) to be carried out in the course of signal digitisation. This
can either be done in the measuring system itself, or in the subsequent electronics (CNC etc.).
An important feature of the
principle of operation is that using

the AMOSIN procedure does not
give rise to any measurement

data systems, the high-frequency

Measuring accuracy
The total error of a measuring system is caused by the following measuring inaccuracies:
1. Precision of the graduation - determined by the precision of the measuring scale

2. Precision within one grating pitch - primarily determined by the quality of the sensor signal and its evaluation electronics.
The following should also be considered for the measuring systems with a 1 Vpp output interface:
3. Precision of the analog/digital conversion at the input stage of the subsequent electronics (in the controller)
4. Noise coupled into the output signals as it is transferred from the scanning head to the subsequent electronics
A detailed description of these aspects follows:
1. Scale accuracy
Every measuring scale is measured on a linear test bench, and a test certificate, quoting the precision class in accordance with
specification, is completed. Optionally a measuring diagram (measured under ideal mounting conditions) can be supplied, as
follows.
2. Precision within one grating pitch

These errors are extremely small on AMOSIN systems, and are in the region of 0.1 % of the grating pitch (corresponding 1 m
for a grating pitch of 1000 m). This maximum precision is not just relevant to the ideal set-up, but is also retained when the
mounting tolerances and working temperature range are exploited. Every scanning head is adjusted and tested on the basis of
these tight criteria of quality.
In order to suppress the errors discussed above under points "3" and "4", a new output interface has been implemented in the new

generation of AMOSIN systems, in which the sine, cosine and reference signals, for the 1 Vpp output interface, are divided and over
line drivers (see signal diagram on Page 23).
The dividing of the grating pitch (D) generates a signal corresponding to a pitch of 40 m in real-time, if a measuring scale with a
grating pitch of 1000 m is used.
The effect of any possible deviation in the evaluation (A/D conversion) in the subsequent electronics (controller etc.), is reduced in this
signal interface by exactly the dividing factor (D) that is applied. In addition, this reduced sinusoidal signal period leads to finer
quantisation in the subsequent electronics, which is of particularly great impor tance to demanding high dynamic and stiff drive
applications.
Additionally, the signal division reduces the effect of noise coupling on the signal transfer line, in proportion to the dividing factor "D";
in other words, an improved signal/noise ratio is achieved.

The metrological principle on which the AMOSIN systems operate means that they are entirely free from hysteresis.

Description of the reference marks
In order to determine the absolute position in the direction of measurement between the scanning head and the measuring tape, a
reference track is integrated on to the measuring scale, lying parallel to the measuring track.
This reference track consists of one or more reference marks (correspondingly marked on the measuring tape), which are detected by
the sensors in the scanning head.
The reference marks can be arranged in the following ways.
1. Single reference marks - fix position Identifier:
They can be realised at any desired position on the measuring tape.

Reference pulse in the middle of the measured length is the standard
configuration. Special positions are possible (see the ordering codes).
Reference mark
2. Single reference marks - selectable Identifier:
The reference pulse in the desired resolution is validate at the output through a
magnet switch. The movement of the measuring slider along the measuring stroke
near the switch magnet (delivered for this configuration as in the drawings page 8,
11, 13, 16, 18, 20) triggers the reference pulse. The traveling direction for reference
mark (home position) must be always the same to get reproductible reference Reference mark
position. The mounting position of the magnet along the measuring scale is free
selectable. In this Measuring head configuration is the limit switch option not
available.
3. Distance-coded reference marks Identifier:
Coded positioning of the reference marks on the measuring tape allows Basic spacing
the controller (in case this one has such an implemented function), to
determine the absolute position of the slider after passing over two K=XX
consecutive coded marks.
