DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH develops and manufactures linear and angle encoders, rotary encoders, digital readouts and numerical controls for demanding positioning tasks. HEIDENHAIN products are used primarily in high-precision machine tools as well as in plants for the production and processing of electronic components. With our extensive experience and know-how in the development and manufacture of measuring devices and numerical controls, we create the groundwork for the automation of tomorrow’s plants and production machines.
Competence in the area of linear and angular metrology is reflected by a large number of customized solutions for users. These include the measuring and test equipment developed and built for many of the world’s standards laboratories and the angle encoders for various telescopes and satellite receiving antennas. Naturally the standard products also profit from these experiences.
The high quality of HEIDENHAIN products depends on special production facilities and measuring equipment. Masters and submasters for scale manufacturing are produced in a clean-room building, conceived especially for this purpose, with special measures for temperature stabilization and vibration insulation. The the machines required for the manufacture and measurement of linear and circular graduations and copying machines are also developed and built by HEIDENHAIN.

The SSI interface provides users with a very flexible, simple and efficient serial interface. SSI is based on RS422 standards and is an open platform, making it very popular in the automation field. The IXARC SSI encoder has additional options like preset feature for easier installation and alignment, incremental output for extra versatility and strobe output for easy networking of up to 10 encoders to the same data line.
The POSITAL encoders are based on a single turn sensor with a highly integrated Opto-ASIC which provides a resolution of 16 bit per revolution. Additionally, a maximum of 16.384 revolutions (14 bit) can be registered in multi-turn mode. The encoders have a protection class of up to IP66/67 and they can provide differential signal output for environments with low disturbance sensitivity.
Serial interfaces use point-to-point wiring systems, but with a digital interface that connects directly to digital PLC’s or microcontrollers. They offer good speed, high resolution, flexible cabling and reliable communication over distances up to a few hundred metres.

Fast, precise, economical
We are the initiator and facilitator: because we start where other technologies reach their limits.
Heart starts where other technologies reach their limits. Feels at home where things get complex and challenging. And is only satisfied when the customer receives the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
Because we have higher goals than the mere fulfilment of customer wishes: With our know-how in etching technology we would like to open up new possibilities and give impulses again and again.
With this attitude and our more than 40 years of experience we have become one of the technology leaders for etching technology in Europe. No reason for us to rest on our laurels: with forward-looking etch-laser technology and customer-oriented services such as Speedline, we have once again set new standards.
