HEIDENHAIN’s new LC 201 single-section linear encoder for absolute applications
Long machine tool axes are increasingly being equipped with linear drives, and HEIDENHAIN’s new LC 201 absolute linear scale was introduced to specifically meet those drive position feedback needs. This new scale is a single-section METALLUR tape encoder that’s ideal for use in linear motor applications that may be required to reach high acceleration levels […]
New enhanced LIF 400 linear encoder family from HEIDENHAIN
After more than 10 years of success in the marketplace, HEIDENHAIN’s LIF 400 family of encoders has been redesigned with several improvements. The updates to this exposed linear kit style encoder originated from listening to customer requests over the years, and now comes with much improved contamination resistance, among other enhancements. The new LIF 400 […]
HEIDENHAIN debuts multi-section linear encoder for use with ACU-RITE’S digital readouts
HEIDENHAIN announces the addition of the AMO LMF 9310 multi-section linear encoder to its line of robust linear encoders. This TTL encoder is specifically designed for long length applications (over 10 ft) on manually operated machines and is compatible with HEIDENHAIN’s ACU-RITE brand of digital readouts. The AMO LMF 9310 is a replacement for the […]
New absolute linear encoder for vacuum environments from HEIDENHAIN
HEIDENHAIN’s new LIC 4100 V linear encoder for vacuum environments is a new addition to the LIC 4100 linear absolute kit style encoder system. With several technical considerations, these new encoders can operate down to 6 x 10-7 mbar, survive a 100˚C bake out, and have low outgassing. Industries that could take advantage of this […]
Fighting cancer with precision motion control
Medical devices used for diagnosing and treating cancer are taking advantage of advancements in measurement and motion control. Medical technology, as well as precision measurement / motion control advances, have come a long way in recent years. With continued R&D in both, new and exciting combined developments have emerged. That’s the case with the advent of […]
Absolute linear encoders now with Panasonic interface from HEIDENHAIN
HEIDENHAIN has started series production of the new generation of LC encoders. The LC xx5 Absolute Sealed Linear Encoders have long been available for use with Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and HEIDENHAIN controls, and can now be ordered with Panasonic interface (Pana01). As with the interfaces that have already been introduced, these encoders are available in […]
Improved length gauge offers higher accuracy
HEIDENHAIN is pleased to announce the introduction of the new and improved +/- 1 μm accurate ACANTO 1217 and 1218 Length Gauges. Paired with the proprietary bi-directional serial interface EnDat 2.2, operators can now monitor gauges being used in production and detect failures BEFORE they occur, allowing mangers to plan and maintain optimal production levels and […]
HEIDENHAIN launches new redesigned LIDA 400 exposed linear encoder
HEIDENHAIN released its well-known LIDA 400 series linear encoder in the year 2000 and has established itself in many applications including coordinate measuring machines, linear motion stages, wafer inspection, waterjet cutting, and a long list of others. Now, with advancements in technology, HEIDENHAIN introduces the next generation fully redesigned LIDA 400 series with several benefits […]
