FEEDBACK IS CRUCIAL TO THE PRECISION OF THE SYSTEM

Fagor Automation uses high-quality, highly reliable optic technology to manufacture
its linear and rotary encoders.
From its birth, in 1975, Fagor have dedicated a great part of their technical and
human resources to the research, development and design of encoders. That is
why their quality is unquestionable as asserted by the exigency tests carried out by
our customers.

WITH THE MOST RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY

OPTICAL DESIGN
Fagor use both optical transmission and reflection in
their range of encoders as well as patented
components and scanning techniques to achieve high
quality signals.

MECHANICAL DESIGN
FAGOR's mechanical developments over the past
30 years have resulted in some of the most
innovative and effective methods for minimizing the
effects of harsh operating environments often
encountered in machine tool applications.

ELECTRONIC DESIGN
State of the art electronics create a perfect
relationship between the reader head and scale and
automatic gain control further ensures constant signal
characteristics allowing high resolutions to be
obtained.

ACCURACY CERTIFICATE
Every single FAGOR linear encoder and angular encoder product
is subjected to a final accuracy test conducted in a computer
controlled measuring test bench.

FOR MILLING MACHINES

AND BORING MILLS MAIN FEATURES

With a product range of optimum performance, designed to • Bolt-hole drilling

simplify as much as possible the specific operations of milling The DRO automatically calculates the position of the holes
machines and boring mills while increasing their productivity as the operator enters the data requested by it.
and ensuring top quality in each process.
• Linear drilling calculation
It calculates, memorizes the position and guides the operator when
executing linear drilling operations at any angle with respect
to the axes with a fixed gap between holes.
• Tool radius compensation
In a milling operation with a rounded tool, its radius must be taken
into account and it must be added to or subtracted from
the position value depending on the machining direction. Once
the tool value is entered, it is saved in the DRO's memory.
• Part centering
By touching two points of the part with the tool or with a probe,
the DRO can calculate the center of the part by simply pressing
a key.
• Up to 20 part zeros (datum points)
This feature makes it easier to work with several part zeros and may
be used to save tool data and hole positions. The DRO offers
greater flexibility to the operator.
• Part angle
This feature offers the possibility to measure angles in order to avoid
part alignment errors. Thus, the inclination of the part may
be corrected to obtain the right position.
• Corner rounding / machining of arcs
To be used in simple corner rounding or surfaces in arc in a plane
defined by two linear axes.

• Up to 20 tool references
When using several tools, each will have a different origin point;
these origin points may be stored and recalled every time
a tool is changed. In each tool change, it stores a different origin
point that may recalled at any time.

• Z axis coupling
Two parallel axes may be coupled with each other so the Z axis
display shows their combined movement.

• Preset in HOLD mode

It is possible to preset the actual diameter value of the machined
part (measured with a caliper or micrometer).
