Heidenhain Introduces Next-Generation Feedback Components
Schaumburg, IL — Heidenhain has released its next generation of high- quality encoders and scales, which include the new ERO 2000 modular rotary encoder, the ECA 4000 absolute ring encoder and the popu- lar, redesigned LIDA 400 exposed linear encoder. The ERO 2000 high-speed, high-
resolution modular rotary en coder for motion feedback offers a compact design, excellent signal quality, and therefore, high-interpolation rates and thermal position stability. The successful ECA 4000 incre- mental ring encoder has been modi-
BLM Group USA Intros Laser System for 3D
Machining Wixom, MI — BLM Group USA, a manufacturer of tube processing sys- tems, has introduced its LT-FREE five-axis, fiber laser machine. The system is designed to cut 3D-formed or shaped parts, such as bent tubes, hydroformed tubes, welded assem- blies, and stamped or flat sheets. The laser head’s freedom of
movement allows for cutting without needing to move the part. It also allows for a high degree of flexibility and accuracy during operation. The LT-FREE can make cuts very close to each other and enables parts to be nestled close together on a single bent tube and uses the laser to sepa- rate, saving material costs. Cutting, drilling, punching, and
milling operations, which are nor- mally carried out in sequence, can now be performed on a single machine. This eliminates set-up and “work in progress” inventory, re -
fied for use in angular motion feed- back and includes absolute technolo- gy. Finally, the LIDA 400 exposed linear encoder has been redesigned for the future of motion feedback. New features include a resolution of 50 nm and accuracies to ±1µ, improved signal quality, and a status
