Improve accuracy and throughput

Unlocking new potential in chipmaking with HEIDENHAIN MULTI-DOF TECHNOLOGY

Chiplet technology and new mid-end-of-line processes in semiconductor manufacturing have laid the groundwork for artificial intelligence, humanoid robots and self-driving vehicles. Advances in production miniaturization have downscaled the distance between electrical contacts to 2 microns, thus reaching a key milestone. But even smaller structures are attainable at greater throughput with the HEIDENHAIN encoders and ETEL motion systems being showcased at SEMICON West 2024.

HEIDENHAIN Dplus encoders

New potential in robotics, elevators and chipmaking

Our Dplus encoders share a remarkable capability: multi-dimensional motion feedback. In robotics, the inductive KCI 120 Dplus provides rotary position feedback both upstream and downstream from a robot joint’s gearing, thus raising TCP accuracy and simplifying cobot design. On elevator motors, the KCI 419 Dplus merges angular position feedback with continuous brake-stroke monitoring for greater operational reliability. And for chipmaking challenges, such as finer structures in hybrid bonding, the LIP 6000 Dplus drives up system accuracy by tracking secondary motion orthogonal to its primary linear axis.

TNC controls for more sustainability

OCM: 67% less energy per part

Optimized Contour Milling (OCM) uses next-generation trochoidal milling to achieve up to 67% time and energy savings during roughing, finishing and smart deburring while maximizing process reliability. Users merely define the contour and apply the optimal machining parameters from a built-in cutting data calculator. The TNC control then automatically determines the best trochoidal milling strategy for any desired pockets and islands.

Greater accuracy with less cabling

MRS 2200 angle encoder modules and EnDat 3 in bus operation

Measuring arms require particularly rigid and compact bearings. Even under off-center loading, the new MRS angle encoder modules from HEIDENHAIN deliver exceptional repeatability. Connecting them via EnDat 3 in bus operation gives you high system integration and digital data transmission for less cabling and extensive diagnostics.

Encoders and sensors for all wind-turbine components

Higher efficiency, greater performance and a longer service life

Encoders, sensors and slip rings from HEIDENHAIN and its brands AMO, LEINE LINDE and LTN deliver high-accuracy data about the position, speed and loads acting on a wide variety of wind turbine components. Our solutions support wind-turbine manufacturers and operators in optimizing their systems during the certification, construction, operation and maintenance of everything from the tower to the rotor blades, pitch and azimuth system, gearbox and generator.

New Model Aided Setup for the TNC7

Graphically supported setup probing for any workpiece

Leverage new 6D setup capabilities on your machine tool. The Model Aided Setup option (MAS) for the HEIDENHAIN TNC7 guides you through the probing process on your touchscreen using a virtual model of the work envelope. A traffic-light indicator shows whether the workpiece position has been fully acquired so that you can save the reference point, allowing you to measure even complex workpieces in little time.
