HEIDENHAIN Offers Fieldbus Encoders With Rugged Hollow Shaft Design
HEIDENHAIN offers the ECN/EQN 400 series rotary encoders with PROFIBUS and PROFINET interfaces for use in manufacturing, process automation, and more. These new encoders feature a rugged blind hollow shaft, with a 12mm diameter. Both the models ECN 413 and EQN 425 rotary encoders are resistant to shock (6 ms) up to 1000 m/s2 and […]
Encoders: Incremental Innovation
by Miles Budimir, Senior Editor Encoders for position feedback may be a well-established technology, but manufacturers continue to innovate by stretching the application space and adding new, useful features. Encoders are a well-established technology within the industrial world. Used wherever motion is found, they may not be as glamorous as either the end products or […]
Robust Absolute Rotary Encoders Added to the HEIDENHAIN Line
HEIDENHAIN has expanded its absolute rotary encoder offering with the new RIQ/IQN 425 series. These sturdy, inductive rotary encoders were designed for use in applications in the automation and wind energy industries, wood machining, tracking systems for photovoltaic facilities and direct measurement of elevator cabins, to name a few. The rotary encoders of the RIQ […]
Fanuc Interface Rotary Encoders Improves Accuracy
HEIDENHAIN’s ROC 400 Series rotary encoders now connect directly to Fanuc controls with alpha or alpha-i interface, providing new levels of versatility for servo and spindle applications. Available with hollow or solid shaft options in single-turn and multi-turn configurations. ECN/EQN 400F rotary encoders with integrated bearings feature stator couplings that compensate radial runout and alignment […]
HEIDENHAIN Offers an Encoder Interface Box
In an effort to increase encoder compatibility with Siemens controls, HEIDENHAIN has developed the EIB 2391S interface box. Ideal for applications with SINAMICS drive components, the EIB 2391S enhances the serial interface offering for many of HEIDENHAIN’s absolute encoders. The EIB 2391S makes it possible to convert a HEIDENHAIN encoder’s output signal from EnDat 2.2 […]
