Heidenhain’s Lida 500 series linear scales are designed for applications requiring ever-smaller components, such as machining parts for the semiconductor or electronics industries. The 20-micronmeter incremental linear scales offer measuring steps of 1 micronmeter to 0.1 micronmenter. Their reduced mass gives them higher dynamic capability, and they are useful when installation space is limited, the company says.
Both the Lida 583 and Lida 573 feature double-field scanning. To compensate for the small scanning field, the signal is corrected online electronically to produce better signals. Glass scales are the measuring standard, and each encoder has a reference mark at the midpoint. Accuracy grade is ±5 micronmeters. The scales are resistant to contamination and easy to mount, the company says.
There are usually better solutions to chatter than just reducing the feed rate. Through vibration analysis, the chatter problem can be solved, enabling much higher metal removal rates, better quality and longer tool life.
The way a G-code program is formatted directly affects the productivity of the CNC people who use them. Design CNC programs that make CNC setup people and operators’ jobs easier.
