New High Accuracy Compact Angle Encoder from HEIDENHAIN

SCHAUMBURG, IL (May 2012) – Distinguishing itself by its flat design, no integral bearing and very small scanning head, HEIDENHAIN’s newest angle encoder is now being introduced to the marketplace. Called the ERO 6000, this new angle encoder is perfect for use in many metrology systems, in compact rotary tables and high dynamic applications such as air bearing spindles, laser trackers and robot arms. The compact scanning head of the ERO 6000 is made possible primarily by the application of a divergent scanning principle that does not require lenses or other beam-directing optics.
