SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - June 11, 2013) - HEIDENHAIN's LC 200 linear encoder continues to set the standard in linear measurement on long machine tool axes. Now available with a Fanuc interface, ...

In automation, precision and reliability are no longer optional; they are requirements. For a wide variety of machine types and processes, linear guides provide that accuracy and high-capacity travel.

HEIDENHAIN’s family of KGM grid encoders have once again been improved to better meet the needs of CNC-controlled machine users who require accuracy testing. Now the KGM 281 grid encoder is available ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...
