Heidenhain sealed and exposed linear encoders

Pictured the difference between sealed linear encoder (left) and the exposed linear encoder (right)

Ever wonder what is the difference between a sealed linear encoder and the exposed linear encoder?
We thought we would share a little information from #Heidenhain on just that subject.

Length MeasurementSealed linear encoders are protected from dust, chips and splash fluids and are ideal for operation on machine tools.
Exposed linear encoders operate with no mechanical contact between the scanning head and the scale or scale tape. Typical areas of application for these encoders include measuring machines, comparators and other precision devices in linear metrology, as well as production and measuring equipment, for example in the semiconductor industry.
With incremental linear encoders,the current position is determined by starting at a datum and counting measuring steps, or by subdividing and counting signal periods. Incremental encoders from HEIDENHAIN feature reference marks, which must be scanned after switch-on to reestablish the datum. This process is especially simple and fast with distance-coded reference marks.
Absolute linear encoders require no previous traverse to provide the current position value. The encoder transmits the absolute value through the EnDat interface or another serial interface.

Since 2001 we've been representing for Heidenhain. We care what Heidenhain products you need. We work to provide you the right encoder for your particular application. Call for more information:

For A Limited Time: $3750.00 for the 3HP

Customer added an ACER E-head™ and an Acu-Rite Digital Readout System.

Bridgeport milling machines continue to be the well sought after item here at Rossi Machinery Services! We are working on a few #rebuilds right now.

But many times the Bridgeport mill is working just fine but maybe STILL has a pulley head or a "J" head or maybe is just worn out. When this is the case, we highly recommend an ACER E-head™.Changing your old Bridgeport or Bridgeport-type head doesincrease your efficiency. The cost of an ACER E-head™ out weighs the cost of the purchase. Changing the head can add life to the machine. This E-Head is currently #onsale and we are selling them to many customers - even as far a Lousianna.

This ACER Sale is GREAT! 3HP $3750.00

Don't mess with fixing the pulley head. Parts are getting harder to find, the cost of the rebuild is rising. We can honestly recommend the ACER E-head™ as a great solution. You will get the return on your investment you need and loose the hassle of working with the step pulley head or an old Bridgeport head. This #summer #sale is going on NOW so don't forget to get your E-head™ ordered.
The E-head™ comes in Bridgeport gray or the #ACER Color.

Below are the bolt hole patterns for the heads. We can walk you through the replacment which is very easy. This sale will NOT last forever; place your order this summer.
