heidenhain

Heidenhain, a German pioneer in precision measurement and control systems since 1889, specializes in high-end ​encoders, ​CNC systems, and ​sensor solutions for industrial automation. While Heidenhain does not produce traditional PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), its advanced ​angle encoders, ​linear scales, and ​positioning systems are critical components integrated with PLC-driven machinery. These products excel in ultra-precise motion control for industries like semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and CNC machining. For example, Heidenhain's ​optical encoders achieve micron-level accuracy using patented photoelectric scanning technology, while its ​TNC 640 CNC system enables multi-axis synchronization and adaptive machining workflows. With certifications like IP67 and operational ranges from -40°C to 85°C, Heidenhain ensures reliability in harsh environments. Its solutions are widely adopted in robotics, medical devices, and energy infrastructure, driving Industry 4.0 innovations.
