HEIDENHAIN’s Sealed Absolute Linear Encoders With Mitsubishi Interface

★ By Jennifer Calhoon Leave a Comment

HEIDENHAIN

The new absolute LC 195M and LC 495M sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that require a Mitsubishi interface. These new encoders improve upon HEIDENHAIN’s already successful LC xx3 series, as the LC 195M/495M now focus on the requirements for purely-serial absolute systems for Mitsubishi drive components. The transmission […]

LC 200 Linear Scale from HEIDENHAIN

★ By Editor Leave a Comment

HEIDENHAIN’s new LC 200 linear scale sets new standards in linear measurement on long machine-tool axes. With this scale, the advantages of absolute position acquisition are now available for measuring lengths of up to 28 meters (almost 92 feet), and provide that reference routines, which can be particularly cumbersome on long axes, become unnecessary since […]

Absolute LC 115 and LC 415 sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN

★ By Heather Brown 1 Comment

The absolute LC 115 and LC 415 sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines with measuring lengths up to 4240 mm. Their double sealing lips on the LC 115 version protect against contamination, and their extrusions ensure high vibration resistance, making these encoders extremely strong on the accuracy front. These […]

RSF Open Linear Encoder

★ By admin Leave a Comment

A new open linear encoder (no housing on scale) equipped with a unique integrated mounting control is now available from RSF. Called the MS 25, this RSF encoder utlizes a tricolored LED directly at the reading head enabling the user to gage if the mounting and subsequent measurement readings are optimal. It is available in […]
