  • Page 12: Nd 1200R Overview

    1.1 ND 1200R Overview The ND 1200R is an advanced digital readout (DRO) system for radial drilling machines using analog or TTL encoders. The system allows the operator to directly enter either cartesian or polar coordinates for target positions. This alleviates the requirement of either pre-drilling holes or a previous operation of marking out the holes on an expensive machine elsewhere.
