Digital Readout Systems
Position Display Units
Position display units serve to visualize the values measured with linear encoders, length gauges, rotary encoders or angle encoders. Areas of application include:
Measuring and inspection equipment
- Dividing apparatus
- Monitoring of measuring equipment
- Manual machine tools
- Measuring machines
Position displays from HEIDENHAIN are designed to be highly user-friendly. Typical characteristics are:
- Highly readable, alphanumeric display
- Simple, logically arranged keypad
- Ergonomically designed push-button keys
- Splash-protected front panel
- Sturdy die-cast housing
Most position display units feature a data interface for further processing in the higher-level electronics or simply to print out the measured values.
Interface Electronics
Interface electronics from HEIDENHAIN adapt the encoder signals to the interface of the subsequent electronics.
