Quantum Devices can provide drop-in replacements for many Heidenhain encoders and we've provided a list of model numbers. Why replace Heidenhain encoders with Quantum Devices? We're cost competitive, able to provide application-specific encoders for OEMs, and offer free samples for qualified projects.

Samantha Lundt has worked as Quantum Devices’ Manufacturing Process Engineer for 5 years. Her primary duties include overseeing the company’s semiconductor cleanroom processes, which are currently undergoing an upgrade to support larger silicon wafers.

Featured in Cision | PR Web Since being absorbed by Heidenhain, RENCO has eliminated many of their encoder products. The most recent model discontinued is their RCML15 rotary encoder, a slim and lightweight commutating encoder popular among motor designers and used in a multitude of industries. To help fill the...

For many OEM equipment manufacturers who need encoders to provide feedback for the motion control section of their equipment, finding an incremental encoder manufacturer willing to partner with them and provide application-specific products can be a real challenge. Quantum Devices, a vertically-integrated incremental optical encoder manufacturer, thrives on OEM special...

Quantum Devices’ QM22 encoder is a high-performance modular encoder that offers something unusual for an encoder of such a small diameter—a commutation device. This 22mm encoder—sized barely bigger than your fingertips—is also competitively priced and designed for high volume OEM applications due to a design that works harder with a...
