HEIDENHAIN LID 311 / LID 311 C Exposed Linear Encoder
Legacy catalog product. Confirm repair, replacement and availability with AMI for your exact unit.
Confirm the configuration from your unit label.
The HEIDENHAIN LID 311 and LID 311 C are incremental exposed linear encoders (transmitted light) with a DIADUR glass scale, for high resolution with high accuracy Measuring lengths run up to 1500 mm.
If your unit is giving trouble, Automation and Metrology can evaluate it before you commit to a replacement. Send the model and nameplate details so we can confirm the configuration.
