Measuring principles

The function and accuracy of encoders from HEIDENHAIN are determined essentially by the measuring standard and scanning principle used.


 Measuring standard
The basis for the high accuracy of encoders from HEIDENHAIN

 
 
 Scanning Methods
Contact-free scanning of the graduation ensures high reliability

 
 
 Measurement Methods
Absolute and incremental measurement

 
 
 Measured value generation
From intensity modulations to position value
