Linear encoder for CNC router in MDF dust
Challenge
Optical linear scale on X-axis failed every 6–8 weeks due to MDF dust ingress, causing position errors and scrapped panels.
Solution
Siko SG10 magnetic linear encoder with IP67 read head and sealed Murrplastik MP cable conduit replaced optical scale.
No encoder failures in 14 months; position repeatability maintained at ±0.05 mm despite heavy dust environment.
