Heidenhain Encoders

When you need the highest positioning accuracy, only Heidenhain Encoders can get the job done. Available in absolute and incremental versions and ideal for a variety of applications—including machine tools, semiconductor machines and medical machines—these measuring solutions combat a variety of issues that erode precision.

• One of the most robust ø58 mm encoder on the market
• The construction provides increased resistance to vibrations and consequently even extends service life
• Communicates via the serial interfaces SSI and EnDat, or with advanced fieldbus interfaces such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or CANopen
• Available in stainless steel, verified for use in saltwater environments, and with certification for explosive environments

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Heidenhain Encoders as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
