An X-axis read head provides position feedback rather than generating motion. Working with the associated measuring scale, this type of component allows the machine’s positioning system to determine movement along the axis.
The ASM SIPLACE 03020588 X-Axis Read Head belongs to the machine’s motion-feedback hardware. It should not be confused with an X-axis motor, servo amplifier, or linear guide carriage, each of which performs a different role in positioning. When sourcing a replacement, the existing part reference and encoder arrangement are the useful starting points.
We offer ASM SIPLACE motion-system components for SMT equipment owners and maintenance providers.
