Automation Group Offers Options
By Bill Anderson,
National Sales Manager,
Automation Division
The HEIDENHAIN Automation Group primarily services markets looking for advanced motion control devices that will ensure accurate motion in a wide range of applications. Our value to the marketplace is the ability to offer an extremely large range of products that have a common technology foundation but provide a unique fit in many different applications.
The ability to service so many multiple markets so effectively is because HEIDENHAIN’s Automation Group offers industry leading solutions that range from optical, inductive or magnetic feedback solutions. This product range also expands into modular encoders with incremental outputs, absolute high resolution rotary and angle encoder feedback, as well as robust bearing encoders manufactured by a sister company (Leine and Linde) that can be configured with incremental or absolute outputs. Our customers are very diverse, but the common thread amongst all of them is their dependence on products that surpass their expectations each time a solution is placed into an application.
It is a fact that HEIDENHAIN product sets the standard in the industry by delivering performance and reliability to which others are often compared. And if functional safety is a concern, HEIDENHAIN’s core business of optical or inductive encoders are offered with faster absolute position feedback – acquired via a pure digital encoder interface (EnDat 2.2). This creates a development platform where engineering, operations and business goals can all be optimally addressed.
Our latest ad campaign captures HEIDENHAIN’s important underlying message: In motion control, accuracy is more than a measurement. When choosing the right position feedback solution, enhanced accuracy provides a competitive advantage that can transport your automation solutions to a new destination. An elevated state of precision and performance we like to call “Destination Accuracy”!
