The basics of HEIDENHAIN encoders

The grating ruler is divided into open type and closed type: The open type is high-precision type. The output waveform is a sine wave and is mainly used for digital transformation of precision instruments. The highest resolution up to 0.1 μm; closed type is mainly used for ordinary machine tools, digital transformation of the instrument, the output waveform for the square wave. The open sensor is made up of a grating scale and a grating read head. The enclosed sensor consists of a grating scale, a grating reading head and a housing in three parts. According to the appearance of the classification of small ruler, standard ruler, large ruler three. The product models are GBC2-B30 (small), GBC2-B10 (standard), and GBC2-B20 (large). The largest scale can be up to 3000mm.


Second, characteristics
1. The most advanced and reliable optical measurement system adopts a reliable and durable high-precision five-bearing system design to ensure the stability of the optical mechanical system, excellent repeatability and high-level measurement accuracy.


2, the sensor adopts the sealed structure, reliable performance, easy installation.


3, using a special oil, corrosion resistance, high elasticity and anti-aging plastic waterproof, excellent dust, long service life. 4, a specific high level of anti-jamming capability, stable and reliable.


5, light source using infrared light emitting diode, small size and long life

.
6. Using advanced grating production technology, it can produce high-precision grating glass ruler of various specifications (up to 3000mm).


Third, the sensor accuracy: the use of one-half of the maximum interval error with "±" indicates that the accuracy level is divided into five. Unit: mm Effective Range Accuracy Level
