G-Series 5-Axis Universal Machining Center
G-modules are modular machining centres. They are available in three different sizes and as single-spindle or two-spindle machines.
Robust rotary encoders for arduous applications
A pair of new, sealed, incremental rotary encoders of sturdy construction with reinforced bearings capable of withstanding high axial and radial loads of up to 75N, ensuring years of trouble-free service in demanding environments has been developed by Heidenhain (GB).
The IP66-rated ROD 600 series encoders are ideally suited to providing accurate feedback of rotary speeds up to 12,000rpm and may be used in applications involving extremes of temperature from −20°C to +85°C and relative humidity up to 93%.
Five different line counts can be specified from 512 to 5,000, accuracy being ±1/20th of the grating period. The electrical output signals are TTL for ROD 620 and HTL for ROD 630.
Both models include a flange that allows axial or radial connection and a solid, stable shaft of 15mm diameter with key. Typical applications are on heavy-duty machine tools, off-road vehicles, printing and textile machinery, paper production plant and steel mills. Numerous shaft couplings for interfacing the encoder with the rotating mechanism can be supplied.
