HEIDENHAIN brings robotics encoder solutions to automatica 2025
Evidence notes
- HEIDENHAIN presented motor-feedback solutions from its ECI and EQI encoder platform for robots and cobots.
- Dual and secondary encoders enabled robot-joint force measurement and collision monitoring without separate torque sensors.
- The cobot demonstration showed automatic shutdown when exerted force exceeded the defined 100 Nm safety threshold.
Company context
DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH develops and produces linear encoders, angle encoders, rotary encoders, CNC controls, touch probes, length gauges, digital readouts and related measurement systems. Its robotics relevance sits in high-precision position feedback for robot joints, rotary axes and demanding automation systems.
