An intelli-gent machine.


The Intelli-TRAX, a traction drive that is closed loop on larger models of JetMachining Centers is available. The mechanical force to produce motion is obtained from a friction wheel (Mach.) one of the wheels in frictional gearing. See under Frictional.

The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO).  positioning system with a sensor to read position information from a precision linear tape scale attached to the beam assembly. The sensor has a resolution of 1[micro]m. The drive also provides the flexibility to extend the X-axis work envelope on larger machine tables. Intelli-TRAX is fully enclosed inside coated steel covers and tracks along a hardened stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.
