Meeting the needs of the evolving digital manufacturing initiative, OPEN MIND Technologies has recently partnered with HEIDENHAIN TNC controls to provide exclusive first use of their new NC code-based simulation solution hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining. The CONNECTED Machining module allows networked HEIDENHAIN TNC controls to be run from remote locations, a key component for digital production systems. The new simulation…
Growth leads to management appointments at HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION
Significant company growth and key initiatives lead to important management changes at HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in North America. These exciting changes include the formation of two regional field sales teams located in Schaumburg, IL, and San Jose, CA, as well as the formation of an overall sales coordination team focused on North American customer satisfaction metrics.…
High Tech Measurement Feedback in a Small Package
HEIDENHAIN’s new LIP 6000 miniature linear encoder system, consisting of a scanning unit and glass scale, has the unusual capability to measure to 2 nm resolution with high speed of 4m/sec at long lengths of scale. This encoder was developed with large mounting tolerances, small interpolation error and low noise levels, thereby making the encoder…
Hollow shaft rotary encoders
The rotary encoder series ECI 4000/EBI 4000 is a modular device without integral bearing and with a 90 mm hollow shaft. It enables the user to replace the conventional toothed-belt drive for coupling a motor feedback system to torque motors. With fewer components, these rotary encoders provide wear-free operation. They open up new applications for inductive rotary…
Daily Motion Control Presentations at HEIDENHAIN’s IMTS Booth
HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION will offer five different concise presentations covering the latest in manufacturing technology at their booth (#E-5226) each day of the show. Each presentation will last a maximum of 10 minutes. “TNC 640 Control for Mill-Turn Machines” – This is HEIDENHAIN’s answer to incorporating a complete set of turning functions on advanced milling controls.…
New Metrology Digital Readout For Manual Measurement Systems
The new ND 120 QUADRA-CHEK metrology digital readout (DRO) from HEIDENHAIN is designed specifically for manual measuring machines such as optical comparators and measuring microscopes. As an offshoot of HEIDENHAIN’s ND 1200 QUADRA-CHEK, the ND 120 offers most of the functionality but at a lower price point. It supports two- to three-axes with the third […]
