Wide range of applications
HEIDENHAIN length gauges are suited for
many applications. Automatic inspection
equipment, manual measuring stations or
positioning equipment—wherever lengths,
spacing, thickness, height or linear motion
are to be measured, HEIDENHAIN length
gauges function quickly, reliably and
accurately.
Know-how
The high quality of HEIDENHAIN length
gauges is no coincidence. HEIDENHAIN
has been manufacturing high-accuracy
scales for over 70 years, and for many
years it has developed measuring and
testing devices for length and angle
measurement for national standards
laboratories. This know-how makes
HEIDENHAIN an extraordinarily qualifi ed
partner for metrology questions.
Worldwide presence
HEIDENHAIN is represented in all import-
ant industrial countries—in most of them
with wholly owned subsidiaries. Sales
engineers and service technicians support
the user on-site with technical information
and servicing in the local language.
Absolute position measurement
HEIDENHAIN-ACANTO length gauges op-
erate with absolute measurement over a
range of 12 mm or 30 mm and with high
repeatability. Its particular advantage is that
the measured value is available immediate-
ly after switch-on.
