Angle encoder modules with integrated drive motor

June 13, 2017

high tech bedrijven heidenhain 170613

HEIDENHAIN has developed angle encoder modules for very high measuring accuracy. They combine highly accurate angle encoders and high-precision bearings, and they are a true alternative to air-bearing axes regarding reproducible guideway accuracy. The integration of a torque motor with a very low detent torque is now the logical step forward in this solution. The angle encoder modules with integrated drive motor are compact, perfectly matched systems to master the tasks of motion, control and measurement with specified high accuracy in sophisticated applications.

SPECTO ST 3087RC – Incremental Length Gauge for Harsh Environments

May 24, 2017

high tech bedrijven heidenhain 170524

The new HEIDENHAIN-SPECTO ST 3087 RC length gauge is particularly well suited for applications under harsh ambient conditions, e.g. in metal-cutting production areas. It has special protection for its sensitive measuring technology. For example, measuring processes with a maximum deviation of ±1 μm at a measuring range of 30 mm can take place directly in the production process, instead of removing them to quality islands or laboratories. This saves time and money through significantly reduced time, cost and transportation.

Observation of the Sun with hitherto unattainable accuracy

Already today solar researchers can see that there is activity on the solar surface. But current instrumentation does not enable them to see the causes. As of 2019 the DKIST on the Hawaiian island of Maui will make it possible to see them. With a mirror diameter of four meters it will be the largest solar telescope in the world and therefore provide a very detailed view of the Sun’s surface.

HEIDENHAIN-METRO 1281 MW

May 8, 2015

150508heidenhain

Destruction-free, non-tactile measuring principles are common, but these mostly optical measuring methods cannot match the precision of tactile encoders with photoelectric scanning. The great challenge is the development of a measuring device that combines high accuracy with destruction-free measurement. HEIDENHAIN has solved this problem with its new METRO 1281 MW length gauge. It features an extraordinarily low measuring force curve between 0.01 N and 0.07 N over its entire 12 mm measuring range.

Custom-Designed for Sophisticated Applications in Machine Tools

Absolute rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN for machine tools are high-precision measured value recording devices for rotary motion. They detect position modifications at high resolution and send corresponding signals in high quality to the control immediately following encoder switch-on. Their classic field of application includes infeed torque motors and rotary axes in automation processes, and in this function, they are also essential for the accuracy and reliability of a machine tool, for example with the precise rotation of magazines and turrets in tool changers and in the control of auxiliary axes.
