HEIDENHAIN Introduces High Accuracy  Angle Encoder for Vacuum Environments

HEIDENHAIN updates its kit angle encoder line by modifying the ECA 4000 ring encoder to be able to survive and provide angular motion feedback within various machine types using a vacuum environment.  Now able to handle a vacuum environment down to 10-7 mbar, the ECA 4000V encoder series has had a number of technical updates to accommodate high resolution and accuracy inside the vacuum chamber. With several types of sizes, resolutions, accuracies, and electrical interfaces, the ECA 4000V encoder is suited for applications in semiconductor, flat panel, and instrumentation markets. Careful
