: Uses a Diadur glass scale with absolute track and incremental track scanning for maximum reliability.

: Unlike incremental encoders, these provide the exact position immediately upon power-up without needing a reference run.

: Typically features an accuracy grade of ± 5 µm , ensuring precise movement for CNC machining and industrial robotics.

If you are looking for a specific or CAD drawing for a particular sub-version (like the -04 or -13), you can find them on the Heidenhain Infobase by searching for the 6-digit ID number.

: These encoders generally use the EnDat serial interface, which allows for bidirectional communication, providing not only position data but also diagnostic information.
