Discover encoders that measure more than a single degree of freedom, including the LIP 6000 Dplus and the new GAP 1000. The additional feedback from their MULTI-DOF TECHNOLOGY results in far greater measurement accuracy, letting you detect and compensate for system-relevant positional error in multiple dimensions.

It’s the perfect solution for high-accuracy rotary axes and an attractive alternative to air bearings: meet the MRP 8000 angle encoder module. TRANSFERABLE ACCURACY lets you harness the encoder’s specified accuracy without complex installation, adjustment, or component-matching. HEIDENHAIN has already done this for you, allowing you to focus on creating high-accuracy machines for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

The combination of an MRP angle encoder module from HEIDENHAIN and a torque motor from ETEL enables exceptionally smooth motion control. Neither disruptive cogging torques nor radial forces impair the bearing’s high guideway accuracy. Also available are the SRP 5000 angle encoder modules, highly compact systems featuring a low profile and high rigidity. The high rigidity of their components also ensures consistent accuracy under varying loads.

EnDat 3 is the ideal encoder interface for achieving high system integration while meeting the requirements of future digitalization, including in bus operation. EnDat 3 reduces cabling and puts extensive diagnostic capabilities at your disposal for greater safety and reliability in your automated systems. The interface’s universal communication technology transmits an extensive range of data beyond position feedback, including sensor data, system monitoring data, and data for automatic configuration.

The semiconductor and electronics industry is constantly developing. HEIDENHAIN contributes to this with its technological developments in the field of exposed encoders. The ERO 2000 incremental angle encoder, for example, was specifically designed for applications with high dynamic performance requirements and very limited installation space, such as galvano scanners. Or consider the ERP 1000, with its exceptionally high accuracy and resolution.

The LIKgo and LIKselect exposed linear encoders from NUMERIK JENA are ideal for tight installation spaces and high accuracy requirements.

The standard model, the LIKgo, is particularly small and lightweight. Its scanning head is a mere 28 mm x 13 mm x 7.5 mm in size and weighs only 10 g. The encoder’s newly developed two-field scanning method with a 20 µm grating period and measuring steps of down to 78.125 nm is extremely precise, delivers high signal quality, and is resistant to contamination.

For customized designs, the LIKselect encoders combine these benefits with the strengths of the Kit L series from NUMERIK JENA, giving you highly configurable encoders for your individual requirements.

The modular design of solutions from RSF offers maximum flexibility for integrating linear and angle encoders into your systems. This includes a large number of interfaces to all common numerical controls as well as a variety of mechanical designs. You also benefit from large mounting tolerances and thus very easy installation.
