About Heidenhain Encoders and Position Measurement

Heidenhain measures position. Rotary encoders in the ERN, ROD, ROQ and RON families report shaft angle, incrementally as counting signals or absolutely as a coded position, with solid or hollow shafts and their own coupling arrangements. Angle encoders provide much finer division for rotary axes and indexing tables. Sealed linear encoders such as the LS and LC series run a scanning head along a graduated scale inside an extruded housing with sealing lips, and exposed encoders in the LIP and LIF families are used where the highest accuracy is needed. Output is incremental TTL or 1 Vpp, or a serial absolute interface such as EnDat or SSI, and the interface determines which control can read the device. Adapter cables, connecting elements, interpolation and counter electronics and the connectors are catalogue items in their own right. Everything is ordered by a numeric ID code with a two-character variant suffix, for example 749147-02, rather than by a descriptive type name.

Heidenhain Encoders and Position Measurement in Saudi Arabia

Heidenhain encoders in the Kingdom sit mostly on machine tools and precision motion equipment: CNC milling and turning machines in workshops serving oil and gas, aerospace and defence fabrication, mould and tool rooms supporting plastics and packaging plants, and inspection and measuring equipment. They are also found on printing and converting machinery, on positioning axes in packaging lines, and on large indexing and rotary tables. Linear scales on machine tools are sensitive to their environment. Cutting fluid, fine grinding dust and, in Saudi workshops, airborne sand can breach the sealing lips of a sealed encoder and cause counting errors long before the device fails outright, so the sealing air supply and the wiper condition are worth checking during a fault investigation. Cable damage in drag chains is the other common failure, and the cable is a separately ordered item.

Ordering and lead time

Order by the Heidenhain ID number including the suffix, for example 749147-02 or 617765-N2. The ID identifies one exact build: interface, signal period or line count, shaft or mounting form, cable length and connector are all fixed by that number, and two encoders of the same family with different IDs will not necessarily work with the same control. Read the number from the label on the encoder body or the scale housing, and if the label is unreadable, give the machine model and axis together with the number from the machine's spare parts list. Adapter and connecting cables have their own ID numbers and are ordered separately from the encoder. Note the mounting arrangement and coupling, since a hollow-shaft device and a solid-shaft device of the same accuracy are different items. Sourced to order, about three weeks, delivered duty-paid to site.
