HEIDENHAIN Exposed Linear Encoders

HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders are designed for use on machines and installations that require especially high accuracy of the measured value.
Typical applications of the HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders include: Measuring and production equipment in the semiconductor industry, PCB assembly machines, ultra-precision machines, high-accuracy machine tools, measuring machines and comparators, measuring microscopes, and other precision measuring devices, direct drives.

Encoders UK specialise in the repair of linear encoders and have vast experience in the repair of all Heidenhain linear scales. Emergency repairs to linear encoders are our speciality so if you require an exchange head for your linear encoder, we carry these parts in stock for a quick replacement on site or at our fully equipped premises.

At Encoders UK we also have a full range of HEIDENHAIN head cables in stock if you require a full rebuild for your exposed linear encoders, many HEIDENHAIN obsolete linear scales can be repaired or replaced with a newer version and adapted on site or at our premises.

HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders provide accurate positioning which is vitally important in both manufacturing and machining.
HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders for numerically controlled machine tools can be used almost anywhere and have multiple advantages. HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders are ideal for machines and other tools whose feed axes are in a closed loop.

Some of the advantages of HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders include the ability to measure the position of linear axes without the additional mechanical transfer elements. This also means that they can detect the transfer errors and prevent positioning errors due to the thermal behaviour of the recirculating ball screw, hysteresis, kinematic error through ball screw pitch error.

HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders deliver high levels of precision and repeatability, this gives the machining and automation industries a clear advantage where it matters most. Due to the details in the design of HEIDENHAIN exposed linear encoders, the encoders can function properly after years of operation.
