Digital readouts from ACU-RITE make your manually operated machine tools more profitable, improve productivity and raise the quality of the machined workpiece. The 7" TFT color flat panel display shows the actual axis position lucidly and clearly. The context- sensitive graphical user guidance makes working with digital readouts from ACU-RITE a pleasure.

– Distance-to-go display (DRO100, DRO203, DRO300) – Dynamic zoom (DRO203, DRO300) Distance-to-go display for turning and milling The distance-to-go display feature simplifies your work considerably: you enter the next nominal position, and the display shows you the distance remaining to the target position. This means that you simply move to the display value zero.

– Assistance for working with lathes (DRO203, DRO300, DRO303) Radius/diameter display In lathe mode, you can see the positions of the transverse axis in either radius or diameter values. You can switch at a keystroke. Sum display of longitudinal axes In lathe mode, the positions of the saddle and the top slide are displayed either separately or as the sum of both values.

Accessories – Edge finder KT 130 edge finder For any workpiece materials With spiral cable ID 283273-S1 The KT 130 is a 3-D triggering edge finder. This means it can also be used for nonconducting materials. The stylus is deflected when it contacts the workpiece, and the edge finder sends a triggering signal over the cable to the DRO300 digital readout.
