    Enter a new dimension of accuracy with encoders that measure up to six degrees of freedom

    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.

    LIP 6000 Dplus : 1 scale, 1 scanning head, 2 degrees of freedom

    The LIP 6000 Dplus features one graduation carrier with two separate graduations angled diagonally at +45° and –45°. A special scanning head with a scanning field for each graduation directly and accurately measures the primary direction X and the secondary direction Y over the entire measuring length. Thanks to the EnDat 3 interface, the two position values are sent to the control via a single cable. This significantly reduces cabling, simplifies installation, and optimizes the motion system’s dynamic performance.

    GAP 1081: out-of-plane gap measurement

    The new GAP 1081 is the first gap encoder from HEIDENHAIN. It measures the vertical gap between a special mirror and the scanning head. As a result, the GAP 1081 can be used for simple vertical positioning tasks. Or it can be installed parallel to a linear encoder, such as the LIP 6000 Dplus, for continuous vertical measurement along a linear axis. Mirrors for the GAP 1081 are available in lengths of up to 3 m. When two scanning heads are deployed on one mirror, both the pitch and yaw of the axis can be measured.

    Handle larger components, improve performance, and make your process more reliable: RTMB+ rotary tables from ETEL offer high speeds and payloads, while the TUCANA ST and AQUARIUS ST short-stroke actuators ensure zero stress on chips and wafers during packaging and inspection.

    LIKselect: compact and versatile to the extreme

    As a modular, ultra-compact, high-accuracy and highly integrated linear encoder, the LIKselect from NUMERIK JENA is the pinnacle of versatility, capable of being adapted to nearly any application. This design flexibility is aided by a compact scanning head with integrated system electronics and the option of glass scales or stainless steel scale tapes.

    Easily utilize full encoder accuracy in your application

    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.

    MRP 8000: utilize full encoder accuracy in your application

    Even with certified accuracy and a calibration chart, an encoder’s precious accuracy can be held back once it is installed in the application. This can have many causes, including soft installation components. The MRP 8000, featuring TRANSFERABLE ACCURACY, unleashes the encoder’s specified accuracy in your application thanks to:

    • A highly robust bearing
    • A second scanning head
    • A calibration data set for your control

    As a result, the MRP 8000 can attain an astounding system accuracy of ±0.1 arc seconds within the application, where it is unfazed by mounting conditions or external factors such as vibrations, shock loads, or temperature fluctuations. This boosts both accuracy and performance, allowing you to increase axis motor speed without sacrificing accuracy.

    Heavy-duty axes: unfazed by cogging torques or radial forces

    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.

    LIC 3000: exposed encoder from HEIDENHAIN for highly dynamic linear axes

    The LIC 3000 series is joining the familiar series of LIC 4000 and LIC 2000 exposed absolute linear encoders. The LIC 3000 combines very small measuring steps of just 10 nm with traversing speeds of up to 600 m/min. The LIC 3000 linear encoders enable highly dynamic and precise position measurement on linear axes with measuring lengths of up to 10 m.

    A large scanning field makes the LIC 3000 highly resistant to contamination. Localized impurities on the measuring standard have minimal effect on the signal quality and measurement reliability. Thanks to their dynamic performance, long measuring lengths, and robustness, the exposed linear encoders of the LIC 3000 series are particularly versatile, bringing the advantages of LIC encoders to even more applications.
