Presented: Our econ measuring system based on the drylin® pre-load prism slide

NKV measuring system Based on our pre-load prism slides, with individual spring preload in four strengths and including laser scaling on the rail, the drylin measuring system is cost-effective, durable and practical. Due to stop motion pre-loading, the measuring system is suitable for vertical installation without any further clamping
