Heidenhain Corp. offers NUMERIK JENA encoders that are non-magnetic.

In robotics and automation technology, rotary encoders and resolvers serve on servo drives as feedback systems for position and speed control. An increasing number of applications require multiturn versions of absolute encoders that are low in cost and as sturdy as resolvers, but with features beyond what resolvers can provide. HEIDENHAIN's new EBI 1135 absolute inductive rotary encoder fits this bill.

HEIDENHAIN's newest generation of absolute angle encoders continue to set standards with their integral bearings and hollow shafts, and have now expanded their usage to include connection to Fanuc controls.

Heidenhain offers a new magnetic ring encoder strategically segmented to simply fit around large shafts is now available from Leine & Linde.

The RSF MS 45 from Heidenhain brings to market an exposed linear encoder that features an integrated status display with a multicolor LED to facilitate simple mounting as well as to allow for monitoring signal quality during operation.

HEIDENHAIN offers the ECN/EQN 400 series rotary encoders with PROFIBUS and PROFINET interfaces for use in manufacturing, process automation and more.

HEIDENHAIN announces its miniature incremental exposed linear encoders, the LIF400 Series, designed especially for linear motor applications.

To facilitate the opportunity for machine users to better monitor and implement a predictive motion control system, Leine & Linde introduces a new version of a rotary encoder supporting Condition Monitoring Systems. Called the Model 862 with PROFIBUS DP, this robust mechanical structure from Heidenhain is now a part of Leine & Linde's long history of operation in tough motion control environments, such as seen within the steel, paper and wind power equipment industries, to name a few.

As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does HEIDENHAIN's component product offerings. Now new to the market are HEIDENHAIN's ROx 400 absolute rotary encoders, available in a functionally safe design including a mechanical fault exclusion for the shaft.
