About Magnescale Europe
Magnescale Europe GmbH, based in Wernau (Baden-Württemberg), is the European sales company of Magnescale Co., Ltd., founded in 1969 in Japan, a manufacturer of ultra-precise measurement systems. The product portfolio comprises magnetic length and angle measurement systems (linear and rotary encoders), ultra-precise digital gauges with real-time measurement as well as optical laserscale encoders for measurements in the picometer range. The measurement systems are used among other things in machine tools, automation, quality control, the semiconductor industry and ultra-precision machining. Connection to controls and production lines is via Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Ethernet, RS232 or USB. The magnetic operating principle ensures high failure resistance in harsh environments with resolutions in the nanometer range. The European company was founded in 2010 and serves customers in the DACH region and beyond.
