Standard-Setting Absolute Linear Encoder Now Available with Mitsubishi Interface

SCHAUMBURG, IL (December 2013) – HEIDENHAIN’s LC 200 linear encoder continues to set the standard in linear measurement on long machine tool axes. Now available with a Mitsubishi interface, this encoder is increasing its available interface options and meeting further demand. An absolute type encoder, the LC 200 offers its advantages for measuring lengths of up to 28 meters, such as ensuring that the absolute position value is available immediately upon switch on. And due to the design and use of a smaller scanning unit with increased rigidity in measuring direction, the LC 200 is
