Heidenhain encoders for Robotics applications, March 2024

Company News – March 2024

HEIDENHAIN offers optimal encoders for all robotics applications. Robots have become an indispensable part of everyday life. As fast and tireless helpers, they take on otherwise monotonous and strenuous human tasks in manufacturing and logistics, including assembly processes, the transport of goods, and heavy lifting. Robots are also used in ever more demanding fields, including large component assembly for aircraft fuselages or as cobots in direct collaboration with humans.

E-Motion America Inc supplies fast, reliable, and accurate HEIDENHAIN encoders for all robotics applications.


Linear encoders measure the position of linear axes without intervening mechanical elements. This eliminates a series of potential error sources such as backlash, pitch error, or heating of the recirculating ball screw. Wherever rigorous position accuracy and high machining speeds are needed, linear encoders are essential.

HEIDENHAIN rotary encoders serve as measuring sensors for rotary motion, angular velocity, and when used in conjunction with mechanical measuring standard such as lead screws, for linear motion. Applications areas include electrical motors, machine tools, printing machines, robots and handling devices, as well as various types of measuring, testing, and inspection devices. Rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN stand for premium quality, durability, and precision, delivering accurate and dependable position and speed measurement. Due to their outstanding features and rugged, easy-to-install design, HEIDENHAIN rotary encoders have been used throughout the world for many years.

HEIDENHAIN angle encoders enable high-accuracy angular measurement down to a few arc seconds. Various design options offer the optimal solution for any application: sealed versions for high robustness, modular solutions for maximum flexibility in the application, and angle encoder modules with an integrated precision bearing. As a result, process reliability and positioning accuracy are always perfectly matched to the given scenario.

Safe and high-accuracy motion for advanced robotics
Dynamic and dependable motion for conventional robotics
Precise, linear movement to the point of operation
For precision manufacturing processes and cobot applications, safe and highly accurate motion is essential. When it comes to cost, size, and quality, our solutions for conventional robot motor control are the answer. In many applications, robots must move themselves to their next point of operation, such as along a production line.
