Did you know… – HEIDENHAIN Microlution
DID YOU KNOW...that HEIDENHAIN linear scales are an integral part of a unique micro-machine operation borne of two University of Illinois researchers?
Control of direct high speed cutting
Speed in Top Form HSC Cutting with the HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 GEMÜ in Ingelfingen, Germany, uses the expertise of its toolmaking people for the manufacturing of innovative valve, measuring and controlling systems. Not only is the highest possible surface quality important, but the toolmaking department ...
A system for troubleshooting and preventative maintenance
At the Stora Enso paper mill in Hyltebruk, an unplanned production stoppage costs around $10,000 an hour. In order to avoid encoders causing such stoppages, Leine & Linde has developed a Heavy Duty sensor with an advanced diagnostic system, ADS™. Self-diagnostic system Roland Lindström and ...
Advanced diagnostics upgrade brings real-time condition monitoring
Did you know that HEIDENHAIN linear scales are an integral part of a unique micro-machine operation borne of two University of Illinois researchers? While they introduced the concept of “small machines for small parts” at the IMTS Emerging Technologies pavilion in 2004, researchers Andy Phillip and Andrew Honegger ...
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.
An automation system for theater production
Did you know that over a hundred HEIDENHAIN rotary encoders are in use every day during the extraordinary Le Rêve theater production at the Wynn Las Vegas? The show is set in a one million gallon (water) capacity theater and features acrobatic diving and feats ...
The CyberMill® is North America’s largest five-axis gantry machine

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.
