HEIDENHAIN LB 326 Linear Encoder
Representative HEIDENHAIN LB-series linear encoder pictured; not the exact LB 326 model. Check your unit's ID tag for its configuration.
The HEIDENHAIN LB 326 (also written LB326) is a linear encoder. If yours is giving trouble, Automation and Metrology can evaluate it before you commit to a replacement. We work on older encoders, including units that may no longer be available new.
we specialize in machine down linear encoder repair or replacement
How it works: Send us your scale for a free evaluation. We will give you a repair quote quickly, before work starts.
Turnaround: Rush repairs typically take 1-2 days; standard repairs typically take 1-2 weeks. We will confirm the timing for your unit with the quote. If repair is not practical, we can help identify a suitable current HEIDENHAIN replacement.
