Joining forces with Infinadeck to transform VR
When Infinadeck provided Warner Brothers Studios with their prototype omnidirectional Virtual Reality (VR) treadmill in 2018 for the Stephen Spielberg movie “Ready Player One,” the world’s first and only commercially viable omnidirectional treadmill itself debuted. Allowing the user to walk in any direction on ...
Direct Drive technology integration online training
Drive technology has been around for over 40 years. Despite this, there still is a lack of adoption by many machine builders. Even those who are familiar with it may not have a desire to adopt the technology for a variety of reasons, from ...
New encoder modules ideal for robotics
SCHAUMBURG, IL (September 2021) – HEIDENHAIN’s new MRS encoder module series for robot arms has been expanded and is now available with redesigned embedded bearings to better withstand outside tilting forces. This new compact and all-inclusive design also significantly simplifies the installation process. The new ...
Innovative dual encoder for robots
SCHAUMBURG, IL (September 2021) – Designed to fulfill two critical needs via a single component in high accuracy robots, HEIDENHAIN introduces the innovative KCI 120 Dplus rotary encoder. This new unique absolute encoder provides both reliable feedback to a robot’s motor and accurate position ...
HEIDENHAIN in action at OMIC
Exciting manufacturing research is happening daily at OMIC R&D (Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center – Research & Development) and many types of HEIDENHAIN precision measurement components are working inside. OMIC R&D is the fifteenth global advanced manufacturing research center established originally with Boeing leadership, and ...
HEIDENHAIN and Infinadeck join forces to transform VR
If you’ve ever seen the Hollywood blockbuster, “Ready Player One”, you’ve seen one of the highest profile applications of HEIDENHAIN motion control; we’d tell you about the others, but then we’d have to track you down…just kidding! Meet George Burger. He’s the inventor of ...
What makes a CNC control good for moldmaking [6 factors]
More and more, mold makers rely on high-speed cutting. Whereas EDM was once the clear choice, CNC machines have proven capable of not only meeting the necessary tolerance and finish requirements, but also streamlining processes. The right control plays a big part in accomplishing ...
Multiple degrees-of-freedom encoders
SCHAUMBURG, IL (August 2021) – With the release of new MULTI Degrees-of-Freedom (MULTI-DOF) encoders, HEIDENHAIN offers machine manufacturers a better way to implement metrology designs to obtain multiple measurements simultaneously and facilitate correcting deviations on the fly. Conventional encoders offer one degree of motion, but ...
How to choose the right encoders for semiconductor machinery
You can have all the bandwidth, AI, or optics in the world, but none of it matters if a semiconductor tool cannot meaningfully reach nanometer level precision without compromising its throughput. When the goal is to make precise measurements as quickly as possible, the ...
Controlling motion in 9 challenging environments
When it comes to choosing motion control equipment, there are countless variables to consider. The type of motion and speed are good first steps, but the environment will almost always need to be factored in too. Uncommon settings, like high radiation, extreme temperatures and ...
