Maximize machining accuracy in tight spaces

The SENC 50 is a compact linear encoder providing high-accuracy feedback in limited and restricted spaces. The precision glass scale resists size, shape, and density changes regardless of temperature and humidity variations, thanks to advanced optical technology developed by HEIDENHAIN.

Improve quality and efficiency

Better accuracy improves machining quality and time and cost savings. The SENC 50 features multiple resolutions with superior accuracy as well as Position-Trac™, which quickly recalls absolute zero (datum) after power loss.
