SINO

SINO is one of the most famous and widely used Asian brands in the world, specializing in the production of measuring systems for metalworking equipment. The company's core focus is the development and production of Digital Readout (DRO) systems and high-precision linear displacement sensors (optical linear scales). Their products are used to equip both conventional machine tools and CNC equipment.

Why is the SINO brand so popular?

• Ideal price-to-quality ratio: SINO products are significantly more affordable than their European or Japanese counterparts (Heidenhain, Renishaw, Mitutoyo), yet they provide sufficient accuracy (up to 0.5 – 1 µm) and reliability for the vast majority of industrial tasks.

• Ease of retrofitting: SINO kits are the de facto standard for retrofitting (modernizing) older Soviet or European machine tools. DROs and linear scales are easily installed on milling, turning, grinding, and boring machines.

• Versatility: SINO's interfaces and data transmission protocols (TTL, RS-422) are standardized, allowing their sensors to be easily integrated with third-party controllers.

• High reliability in workshop environments: The glass scales are securely protected by aluminum housings with double polyurethane lip seals (IP55 protection standard), allowing them to operate under exposure to coolant (cutting fluid) and metal chips.
