Linear encoders - Import export

Exposed linear encoders are designed for use on machines and installations that require high accuracy of the measured value. Typical applications 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 Our standard encoders are suitable for use in a low or medium vacuum. Encoders used for applications in a high or ultrahigh vacuum need to fulfill special requirements. Design and materials used have to be specially adapted for it. For more information, refer to the Technical Information document Linear Encoders for Vacuum Technology. The following exposed linear encoders are specially adapted for use in high and ultrahigh vacuum environments. • High vacuum: LIP 481 V and LIF 481 V • High vacuum: LIC 4113 V and LIC 4193 V • Ultrahigh vacuum: LIP 481 U

The LS 1679 has been specially developed for press brakes. The basis for its high accuracy and repeatability is its precise glass scale and high-quality integral bearing. Thanks to the material of its steel track and steel roller bearing component pair it is very robust. There are many variants for connection to the machine frame, whereby the ball coupling offers the most degrees of freedom. Besides the standard resolution with 5 µm measuring step there is also a variant with 1 µm. For perfect mounting to the two C-columns there are variants with rightward and leftward cable outlets.

Linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN fornumerically controlled machine tools can be used nearly everywhere. They are ideal for machines and other equipment whose feed axes are in a servo loop, such as milling machines, machining centers, boring machines, lathes and grinding machines. The benefi cial dynamic behavior of the linear encoders, their high permissible traversing speed, and their acceleration in the direction of measurement predestine them for use on highly-dynamic conventional axes as well as on direct drives. The linear encoders with full-size scale housing are characterized by their sturdy construction, high resistance to vibration and large measuring lengths. The scanning carriage is connected with the mounting block over an oblique blade that permits mounting both in upright and reclining positions with the same protection rating.

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.
