Increased Accuracy Available With HEIDENHAIN’s New Magnetic Encoder

SCHAUMBURG, IL (October 2013) – In the recent past, HEIDENHAIN’s ERM rotary encoder series has had great success with installations on machine tools, such as on the C axis of lathes and the main spindle on milling machines. Now, due to the higher demand for accuracy on those and varying rotary and tilting axes, HEIDENHAIN has developed the ERM 2200 magnetic rotary encoder series with a 200 µm signal period. Utilizing a smaller positioning error within one signal, the new ERM 2200 rotary encoder series allows finer accuracy requirements to now be met on machine tools. And since the ERM
