Linear Encoder Advancements Make More Possible with Less

The photonics and semiconductor industries are very complex, and there is much interdependency. Machines related to both these industries (from fiber alignment stages to optical inspection systems) all have a few things in common despite th... (read more)

We are pleased to introduce the LMB-400 Inductive Linear Encoder Scale for use in harsh environments such as machine tool applications. Equal in performance to an optical encoder but with IP 67 rating. Our Inductive encoder technology is completely different than a magnetic encoder. (read more)

Versatile 7-digit rotary and linear digital displays read out in degrees/minutes/seconds, decimal degrees or inches, millimeters. (read more)

In keeping with the conversion of linear encoders for manual machine tool applications to the more robust 1 Vpp interface (from 11 µApp interface), as well as establishing a common platform for HEIDENHAIN linear encoders, the new state-of-the-art LS 688C linear encoder is introduced. This full size scale is especially useful on manually operated machine tools/digital readout applications. (read more)
