HEIDENHAIN digital readouts for manually operated machine tools have universal application: In addition to standard tasks on milling, drilling and boring machines and lathes, they also offer ideal solutions for many applications on machine tools, measuring and testing equipment, and special machines—in fact all machines where axis slides are moved manually.

For many metrology applications, ranging from simple measuring stations to complex inspection systems with multiple measuring points, HEIDENHAIN supports you with the appropriate digital readouts or PC solutions.

HEIDENHAIN LS300 series and LS600 series sealed linear encoders are primarily designed for use for DRO applications on manual machine tools.

Linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN for numerically controlled machine tools can be used nearly everywhere. They are ideal for machines and other equipment whose feed axes are in a closed loop, such as milling machines, machining centres, boring machines, lathes and grinding machines. Linear encoders are available with incremental or absolute measurement. Absolute interfaces include EnDat, Fanuc and Mitsubishi.

HEIDENHAIN workpiece touch probes and tool measurement probes help you to perform setup, measurement and inspection functions directly on the machine tool.

HEIDENHAIN rotary encoders serve as measuring sensors for rotary motion and velocity. The may also be used for linear measurement when used in conjunction with mechanical elements such as ballscrews. Angle encoders are characterised by high angular accuracy and are used in applications such as rotary tables, swivel heads of machine tools, angular metrology, antennas and telescopes.

Incremental length gauges from HEIDENHAIN offer high accuracy over long measuring ranges. These sturdily made gauges are available in application-oriented versions. They have a wide range of applications in production metrology, in multipoint inspection stations, measuring equipment monitoring, and as position measuring devices. The HEIDENHAIN SPECTO length gauges are ideal for multi-point inspection and testing, and provide a cost effective alternative to LVDT devices.

Unlike many of the competitors products, all HEIDENHAIN products are designed for serviceability. Our fully equipped workshop can clean, overhaul and re-align encoders, usually within 2 working days of receipt. Where possible we aim to provide an emergency repair service for 'mission-critical' encoders.
