Encoders from HEIDENHAIN with TRUE IMAGE TECHNOLOGY:
A reliable and sustainable solution for every machine axis

With built-in TRUE IMAGE TECHNOLOGY, HEIDENHAIN angle and linear encoders for machine tools deliver clear scale readings without purge air. The results are an up to 99% smaller carbon footprint and reliable position measurement under liquid contamination.

Machine OEMs are sure to find the optimal solution for any application at HEIDENHAIN and AMO, including drum solutions for mid-sized diameters and scale tape solutions for larger diameters. Process reliability and positioning accuracy are perfectly matched to the given application. 

Press release

99% smaller carbon footprint with
TRUE IMAGE encoder technology

With HEIDENHAIN TRUE IMAGE technology, HEIDENHAIN encoders for machine tools maintain clear scale readings even when exposed to condensation and other liquid contamination. Typical optical distortions from droplets on the scale are fully eliminated. As a result, HEIDENHAIN LC linear encoders and RCN angle encoders reliably deliver high-accuracy position feedback without purge air in many applications, allowing OEMs to simplify the machine’s purge air system.

Optimal Linear Measurement for High-Accuracy Workpieces

Reduced system cost and higher machine availability

The new LC generation lets the machine manufacturer significantly reduce the complexity of the sealing air supply. Thanks to fewer parts and air lines, as well as easier installation, costs are saved. A more streamlined system also benefits the machine operator, providing greater process reliability and requiring considerably less maintenance.  

The benefits of the new LC generation

  • Eliminated need for extra sealing air filter
  • Reduced sealing air requirements
  • Reduced installation costs
  • In short: lower system cost

LB 383C: new design for a classic encoder

For many years the LB 382 sealed linear encoder set the standard for machine tools with long axes. Its successor, the LB 383C, is now here, combining the strengths of its predecessor with technologies ready for the future. For example, measuring lengths of up to 72 m are still possible, but now with significantly improved scanning that enables much more productive controller parameters.
