HEIDENHAIN’s Improved ACANTO Length Gauge Offers Higher Accuracy for In-Process Measurement
SCHAUMBURG, IL (August 2016) – HEIDENHAIN is pleased to announce the introduction of the new and improved +/- 1um accurate ACANTO 1217 and 1218 Length Gauges. Paired with the proprietary bi-directional serial interface EnDat 2.2, operators can now monitor gauges being used in production and detect failures BEFORE they occur, allowing mangers to plan and maintain optimal production levels and minimize machine down time. Along with built-in error monitoring, the ACANTO remembers the last datum used thanks to the EnDat interface, so there is no need to re-master due to the gauge itself (
