HEIDENHAIN's Miniature Linear Encoder Perfect for Linear Motors
SCHAUMBURG, IL (July 2013) – HEIDENHAIN announces its miniature incremental exposed linear encoders, the LIF400 Series, designed especially for linear motor applications. With its postage-stamp size scanning unit and very high accuracy, these encoders are of special interest to stage manufacturers or anyone using linear motors in their machine design. With travel up to 1 meter, the LIF400s maintain a scale accuracy grade of ±3 um. Stage manufacturers will find that these encoders meet the needs for both coarse and fine measurement applications (4 microns down to 10 nanometers of
