NEW LC 200: Absolute linear encoder for machine tools with long axes
Machine tools for the manufacture of large parts for the space and aeronautical industry, for construction of large turbines, or for large dies in toolmaking, all have at least one long servo axis. On these machines, axis lengths of several meters are nothing out of the ordinary.
What to consider when choosing a rotary encoder
Controlled servo drives are used in many areas of automation technology, converting, printing, handling and robotics including production machines and machine tools.
NEW HEIDENHAIN diagnostic tool available for onsite encoder testing
For HEIDENHAIN encoder customers who would like to do their own onsite encoder testing, HEIDENHAIN now offers the new simple-to-use PWM 20 diagnostic box with ATS (Adjusting and Testing Software).
NEW encoders for high speed spindles
Spindles are among the key components of a machine tool. Their characteristics are determined by the design, the drive and the bearing systems. Position feedback encoders play a decisive role particularly for the drive performance. HEIDENHAIN is presenting the NEW ERM 2400 encoders, ideal for applications that offer little space and yet require a relatively high accuracy of angular measurement.
Resolvers vs encoders for motion control
The phrase “more precise control” would generally drive the solution towards an encoder over a resolver. The application of dry food packaging however might tend to drive it back towards a resolver. Here are some characteristics you can consider to help make the decision.

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.
