Sealed linear encoders are protected from dust, chips and splash fluids and are ideal for operation on machine tools.
Exposed linear encoders operate with no mechanical contact between the scanning head and the scale or scale tape. Typical areas of application for these encoders include measuring machines, comparators and other precision devices in linear metrology, as well as production and measuring equipment, for example in the semiconductor industry.
With incremental linear encoders, the current position is determined by starting at a datum and counting measuring steps, or by subdividing and counting signal periods. Incremental encoders from HEIDENHAIN feature reference marks, which must be scanned after switch-on to reestablish the datum. This process is especially simple and fast with distance-coded reference marks.
Absolute linear encoders require no previous traverse to provide the current position value. The encoder transmits the absolute value through the EnDat interface or another serial interface.
HEIDENHAIN angle encoders are characterized by high accuracy values in the arc second range and better.Examples for application:
Because of the design and mounting of the stator coupling, it must only absorb that torque caused by friction in the bearing during angular acceleration of the shaft. RON, RPN and RCN angle encoders therefore provide excellent dynamic performance.
With an integrated stator coupling, the stated system accuracy also includes the deviations from the shaft coupling.Further advantages:
The angle encoders without integral bearing (modular angle encoders) are intended for integration in machine elements or apparatuses. They are suited for the following requirements:
The ERM modular encoders from HEIDENHAIN consist of a magnetized scale drum and a scanning unit with magnetoresistive sensor. Their MAGNODUR measuring standard and the magnetoresistive scanning principle make them particularly tolerant to contamination.
Angle encoder modules from HEIDENHAIN are combinations of angle encoders and high-precision bearings that are optimally adjusted to each other. They are characterized by their high degree of measuring and bearing accuracy, their very high resolution, and the highest degree of repeatability. The low starting torque permits smooth motions.
In rotary encoders with integral bearing and stator coupling, the graduated disk of the encoder is connected directly to the shaft to be measured. The scanning unit is guided on the shaft via ball bearings, supported by the stator coupling. During angular acceleration of the shaft, the stator coupling must absorb only that torque resulting from friction in the bearing, thereby minimizing both static and dynamic measuring error. Moreover, the coupling mounted on the stator compensates axial motion of the measured shaft. Other benefits of the stator coupling are:
Length gauges from HEIDENHAIN offer high accuracy over the entire measuring range, are mechanically rugged, and can be used in a great variety of applications. They have a wide range of applications in production metrology, in multipoint inspection stations, measuring equipment monitoring, and as position measuring devices.
