Hitting a hole in one across town?

Imagine standing on the golf course teeing off, and playing well. The ball flies and flies—and lands in the hole. A classic hole in one! Now imagine that the hole were about 17 kilometers away on the other side of town. And you tee off countless times and score a hole in one each time. Hard to imagine? For any golfer in this world, yes.

But not for the LC sealed absolute linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN! Positioning over a one meter path of traverse to an accuracy of ± 3 µm—at 17 km that’s half the diameter of the hole. Reliability, flexibility, resilience and its high integration density of electronic components make the LC the unbeatable champion on any course.
