Length gauges offer accuracy for in-process measurement

Heidenhain has introduced the +/- 1-µm accurate Acanto 1217 and 1218 length gauges. When the gauges are paired with the proprietary bidirectional serial interface EnDat 2.2, operators can monitor gauges being used in production and detect failures before they occur.

Along with built-in error monitoring, the gauges remember the last datum used when paired with the interface, so the user does not have to remaster because of the gauges. They also auto-connect and report data to any control that has implemented the interface.
