Which touch probe is right for you?
Touch probes offer great advantages for manufacturers, including reduced setup times, increased machine usage time and improved dimensional accuracy Inserted into the tool holder manually or by the tool changer, touch probes can be used for workpiece alignment, preset setting, workpiece measurement and digitizing ...
New unique ring encoder resists contamination
SCHAUMBURG, IL (March 2019) – HEIDENHAIN introduces a new mid-range high accuracy ring encoder that is suitable for position measurement applications that require high tolerance to contamination but do not demand the accuracy level of an optical encoder. This unique HEIDENHAIN ERM 2203 is ...
Absolute vs. incremental encoders: What’s the difference?
When it comes to choosing linear or rotary encoders, there are a lot of factors to consider. Chief among them are how to achieve the repeatability, accuracy and resolution needed for the particular motion-control application. The very first decision required to dial these factors ...

ETEL’s newly optimized IL+ motors
SCHAUMBURG, IL (November 2019) – ETEL, a direct drive motor manufacturer of the HEIDENHAIN Group, now offers updated ironless linear motors optimized for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Called the IL+ product lines, these motors are offered in the same profile as ETEL’s previously established ironless ...
Helping the world understand earthquakes better
A Brown University researcher turned to ETEL and HEIDENHAIN for the power and precision he needed to simulate the cause of one of nature’s most powerful forces in the lab. It’s been a passion project of Dr. Terry Tullis, an Emeritus and Research Professor ...
How to select a servo motor
Servo motors are a type of electric motor that allow for precise control and use a closed-loop system with feedback devices. Proper selection depends on understanding load requirements and environmental conditions, including torque, speed, efficiency and winding type. Environmental factors like contamination, temperature and ...
