HEIDENHAIN’s Modified Angle Encoder Now Available for Functionally Safe Machine Applications

HEIDENHAIN updates its successful angle kit encoder line again by modifying the ECA 4000 angle ring encoder series for use in safety-related applications.  Of notable use in machine tools where dangerous conditions exist, this new ECA 4410 encoder is also useful in many automation applications such as in robotic arms for example. Factors contributing to this new functionally safe ECA 4410 encoder is the EnDat data interface as well as modifications made to the mechanical connection that now includes fault exclusion.  Here, the new ECA 4410 drum has a centering collar on the inside

HEIDENHAIN's New Unique Angle Encoder Modules Now Available for Precision Rotary Axes

SCHAUMBURG, IL (May 2016) – HEIDENHAIN launches a new product family that is a merger of HEIDENHAIN bearing and angle encoder technologies. Resulting in the MRP 2000, 5000 and 8000 (as well as customer-specific variants), these unique modules contain bearing sets not conventionally available and are able to be integrated with various encoder types to yield highly stiff modules that are easy to install.   The angle encoder modules represent a successful merging of the key requirements for precision rotary axes used in metrology, calibration devices, automation technology, micro machining,

New Absolute Angle Encoders Offer Functional Safety

SCHAUMBURG, IL - (November 2013) – HEIDENHAIN Corporation is making available a new version of the RCN Series of absolute angle encoders, now with “Functional Safety” offering numerous advantages to today’s machine tools. This RCN Series of angle encoders has built-in components that are part of an immediate machine shut-off process in case of machine or component malfunction. With a Functional Safety RCN angle encoder, two independent absolute position values and error bits are generated for evaluation in a safe control. To ensure a secure connection between the shaft and the encoder

HEIDENHAIN’s Newest High Accuracy Angle Encoders Now Offer New Interface for Fanuc Controls

SCHAUMBURG, IL (June 2012) – HEIDENHAIN’s newest generation of absolute angle encoders continue to set standards with their integral bearings and hollow shafts, and have now expanded their usage to include connection to Fanuc controls. Characterized by their simple mounting and high accuracy, these HEIDENHAIN RCN 2000, 5000 and 8000 series encoders offer many advantages. Often the encoder of choice when angle measurement in the accuracy range of a few angular seconds is required, the RCN angle encoders offer users greater mounting tolerances than ever before, optimized scanning and

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.
