HEIDENHAIN's LC 200 linear encoder continues to set the standard in linear measurement on long machine tool axes. Now available with a Fanuc interface, this encoder is increasing its available ...

STMBL can be configured to read Fanuc serial encoders for feedback and communicate with LinuxCNC via Mesa smart-serial for an all-digital control loop. But the component supply issues are an issue.

The device comes in a wide range of NEMA-23 and 34 frame sizes, with peak power from 100 to 1,000 W (1.3 hp). Prices for the NEMA-23 systems start at $254, while those for NEMA-34 units begin at $290.
