The LS 186 is a sealed incremental linear encoder that Heidenhain no longer makes. If your machine still runs one, you do not need to replace the machine. We repair LS 186 scales in our Mentor, Ohio shop.
Every repair starts with a free evaluation, and you get a quote quickly - before any work starts. Rush turnaround is 1-2 days. Standard turnaround is 1-2 weeks.
If your LS 186 is beyond repair, we will quote the current Heidenhain replacement or an upgrade path. Automation and Metrology has been an authorized Heidenhain distributor since 1987, so you get the repair and the replacement option from the same place.
Call 1-888-354-2525 or use our contact form with the model and serial number from the scale's ID tag.
