Linear guiding system with an arrangement to determine the position of a guided carriage

摘要

Linear guiding system comprises a measuring sensor (3) structured so that it is able to acquire information about a measuring rod and information about reference markers (16) during movement of a guiding car (2) on a guiding rail (1). The sensor is mounted on the guiding car so that moves over a number or reference markers to acquire the absolute position of the sensor and thus the guiding car after assembly. An independent claim is also included for a method for initiating a guiding car on a guiding rail of a linear guiding system. Preferred Features: The sensor is arranged in a housing (20) mounted on the guiding car. The sensor is moved relative to the housing and guiding car during assembly. The sensor is a magnetic sensor. The reference markers are coded reference markers.
