Lathe milling machine - Import export

Digital readouts from HEIDENHAIN are used in a wide variety of applications. They are deployed on machine tools, infeed axes on saws and presses, measuring and inspection equipment, dividing apparatuses, setting tools, production inspection measuring stations, and more. To meet such demands, these digital readouts can also be used in combination with numerous encoders from HEIDENHAIN. Digital readouts with multiple axes are primarily used on manually operated machine tools, where their practical cycles provide optimal support to the operator during milling, drilling, or turning. By instantly displaying the position in an easy-to-read manner, digital readouts enable a significant increase in productivity.

The aluminum housing of a HEIDENHAIN sealed linear encoder protects the scale, scanning carriage, and its guideway from chips, dust, and fluids. Downward-oriented elastic lips seal the housing. The scanning carriage travels along the scale on a lowfriction guide. It is connected to the external mounting block by a coupling that compensates unavoidable misalignment between the scale and the machine guideways. For typical applications on manual machine tools such as milling machines or lathes, display steps of 10 µm or 5 µm are suffi cient. Such display steps are provided by the LS 300 and LS 600 series linear encoders with an accuracy grade of ± 10 µm per meter traverse.
