Choosing the right encoders for LED technology, February 2025

Company News – February 2025

HEIDENHAIN can verify and deliver some the most impressive motion control performance metrics in the world. Ultra-flat screens, ranging from compact touchscreens in smartphones to UHD widescreen TVs, owe their high resolution and brilliant colors in part to the positioning accuracy of production machines for LED technology. As in other areas of the electronics industry, exposed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN deliver this positioning accuracy.

E-Motion America Inc. supplies these high quality exposed linear encoders for advanced LED and display technologies. Exposed linear encoders consist of a scale or scale tape and a scanning head. This photoelectric scanning method is touch-free and wear-free, detecting graduation lines just micrometers in width and producing output signals with very short signal periods.
