Linear position transducers HEIDENHAIN

HEIDENHAIN offers a comprehensive range of position measurement and feedback solutions used in machine tools, automation systems, robotics, metrology and semiconductor manufacturing. The product portfolio spans linear encoders, angle encoders, rotary encoders, plus CNC controls and digital readouts.

By delivering exceptional accuracy, repeatability and durability, HEIDENHAIN helps to optimise machine performance, minimise errors and enhance process reliability.

Product Classification:

• Linear Encoders – position measurement for linear axes, without intermediate mechanical elements; sealed and exposed versions for harsh environments.
• Angle Encoders – for rotary axes, offering positioning accuracy down to a few arc-seconds. 
• Rotary Encoders – feedback for motors, shafts, control systems; available in absolute and incremental versions.
• CNC Controls, Digital Readouts & Metrology Devices – integral components for production and measurement systems.

Typical Applications:

• High-precision machine tools (milling, turning, machining centres)
• Industrial automation and robotics (motion feedback, position control)
• Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing (ultra-high precision, high speed)
• Structural health monitoring, elevators, e-mobility
• Metrology, inspection and quality control systems

Key Benefits:

• Very high accuracy and excellent repeatability
• Robust design for harsh industrial environments (dust, vibration, varying temperature)
• Easy integration with a wide range of interfaces (EnDat, SSI, DRIVE-CLiQ)
• Absolute/incremental versions tailored to the application
