A position measuring system consists of sensors and scale, and is used for measuring a distance to a measuring object. With an absolute measuring system, the position value is available directly after switching on. With an incremental measuring system, a reference point must first be approached after switching on in order to obtain the zero position. This is the case, for example, with optical systems such as the glass scale / optical scale, with stainless steel grid.

Axis position control can be performed in manual, semi-automatic or automatic mode with selectable resolution from 1 to 200 microns.
The metal housing and opto-isolated inputs protect the device against electromagnetic interference.
MEGATRON measuring systems are constantly tested to withstand the high speeds, accelerations and severe working conditions demanded by the most powerful CNC machine tools. With resolutions up to 10 nm, accuracies up to ± 1 µm, measuring lengths up to 30 m and compatibility with the protocols of the main CNC manufacturers, MEGATRON is able to provide the right solution for every machine.
For more than 40 years, GIVI MISURE has been supplying its optical and magnetic scales to the main press brake OEMs worldwide. GIVI MISURE has an entire product line specifically designed to meet the needs of each manufacturer and help them choose the optimal configuration for their machine.
In the traditional machine industry, MEGATRON is able to provide a complete package for axis display and control. MEGATRON has a wide range of measuring devices and a series of innovative and versatile displays equipped with universal software to support the operator during the machining process.
These manufacturing processes generate dirt and production waste that can destroy the sensors or affect measurement accuracy. MEGATRON manufactures a wide range of gauges that are designed to withstand dirt, acceleration and vibration and maintain the original accuracy unchanged over time.
Every industrial automation system foresees some phases of handling semi-finished products and mechanized processing steps until the final product. In each of these steps it is necessary to measure displacements, rotations and distances with different accuracy. From automated warehouses to packaging lines, from logistics to linear motors, describe us your system and we will find the ideal solution for your measurement needs.
Renewable energies
GIVI MISURE sensors have been used successfully in the field of renewable energies for many years. In modern solar tracking systems - both in photovoltaic systems and in large solar thermal power plants - they ensure that modules and mirrors are always optimally aligned and positioned at the correct angle of inclination. In wind energy, too, our high-precision sensors help to precisely control the rotation parameters and thus make the best possible use of the available weather conditions.
Givi Misure specializes in the development and manufacture of high-precision linear measurement systems, such as optical and magnetic linear encoders , digital displays , and position controllers . These products are used primarily in CNC machine tools , automation technology , and wherever precise positioning and measurement are required.
