Early warning system for production systems
If small modules in a plant or machinery break down without notice, the costs for the replacement part are usually out of all proportion to the damage caused by the interruption of production. For example, in the paper industry the costs of each hour of interrupted production are on the order of $7000 and more.
Did you know… HEIDENHAIN INGERSOLL
…that North America’s largest five-axis gantry machine is located in Detroit and uses the world’s longest HEIDENHAIN linear scales? Called the CyberMill® by machine builder Ingersoll Machine Tools (www.ingersoll.com) in Illinois, this massive machine has an X-axis that is three quarters the length of a football field and is in operation at W Industries (www.w-industries.net), a leader of metal products manufacturing.

Question: What is a PWM 9?
Answer: The PWM 9 is a complete universal measuring unit for inspecting and adjusting HEIDENHAIN incremental linear and angle encoders.
Linear encoders for production – integrated measuring machines
Up to now, measuring machines have operated in a largely familiar, exactly defined environment, since their performance is significantly determined by the signal quality and accuracy of their linear encoders. Now, with the trend toward production-integrated measuring machines, the measurement device in use should be clearly reviewed.
Torque in servo motors
When specifying servo motors for a new machine or CNC retrofit, there are many specifications regarding servo motor performance. One of the most confusing is the differing torque specifications of the motor. Torque can be specified in Newton meters (Nm) or more commonly foot pounds (lb-ft) or inch pounds (lbf-in).
HEIDENHAIN angle encoders in Adcole Model 1200
Did you know that multiple HEIDENHAIN components and systems, including HEIDENHAIN’s iTNC 530 contouring control, are critical components of innovative ultra-precise waterjet cutting machines? Because an ultra high-pressure waterjet machine’s ability to erode and cut through stone or metal is highly dependent on a smooth, consistent velocity, its measurement and feedback components must be reliable and in sync.
