Getting accuracy out of machine tools: Linear encoders eliminate errors from thermal drift

June 3, 2013 By MCTips Staff Leave a Comment

linear-encoder

Linear encoders help eliminate errors from thermal drift. || Dr. Jens Kummetz, R&D Manager, HEIDENHAIN, Traunreut, Germany Thermal accuracy of machine tools is becoming increasingly important considering the strongly varying operating conditions in manufacturing. Especially with small production batches that require constantly changing machining tasks, a thermally stable condition can’t be reached. At the same time, […]
