Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I verify if the part is compatible with my machine?
A: Please check the ID Number (e.g., 385488-01) printed on your existing part's label. This is the unique identifier we use to guarantee 100% compatibility.
Q: Are these encoders brand new or refurbished?
A: We supply 100% "Original New" Heidenhain parts. For certain rare discontinued models, we may offer "Certified Refurbished" units with full testing reports.
Q: What is EnDat? Do these encoders support it?
A: EnDat is Heidenhain's proprietary digital interface. Many of our models (ECN/EQN/LC) support EnDat 2.2 for high-speed, noise-immune absolute positioning.
Q: Can a linear scale be cut to a specific length?
A: Linear scales (like the LS/LC series) are ordered in specific "Measuring Lengths" (ML).
Q: How do you protect these fragile glass scales during international shipping?
A: We use original Heidenhain reinforced industrial packaging, often supplemented with secondary protective crates and shock-indicator labels for air freight.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: Common models (like ERN 1387) are often in stock for same-week shipping. Specialized long scales or angle encoders may require a 4-8 week factory lead time.
Q: Do you offer a warranty for high-end Heidenhain parts?
A: Yes, we provide a 12-month standard international warranty for all new Heidenhain components.
