The Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center Research and Development (OMIC R&D) recently welcomed Heidenhain Corporation as its 33rd member. Heidenhain, whose U.S. subsidiary is headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, is a supplier of encoders, machine controls, touch probes, digital readouts and metrology solutions.

“I have been excited about the possibility of having Heidenhain as a member since we first started the discussion at IMTS in 2018. Heidenhain is providing OMIC R&D with immediate data gathering capability, but their ability to assist OMIC R&D as we grow is tremendous,” says Craig Campbell, executive director of OMIC R&D. “We also look forward to opportunities in the area of training and workforce development due to Heidenhain’s investment in that area.”
