Control systems prove popular on machine tools
The popularity of Anilam control systems with machine tool builders and distributors as well as end users has been borne out again recently with comments from Gate Machinery International
Depending on scale size, savings extend from 60 to 71%.
In addition, purchasers of a three-axis Acu-Rite 200S during August will receive a 3D probe and interface cable free of charge.
Acu-Rite's 200S is a user-friendly, cost-competitive DRO that from a single unit can be quickly and easily configured for two- or three-axis milling, turning or grinding applications - and it therefore represents an innovative level of flexible machine control by eliminating the headache, time and cost often associated with the selection and installation of multiple application-specific DROs.
The DRO is totally intuitive and all prompts, instructions and help functions are visible as text or graphics on the flat screen 5.7in 320 x 240 resolution crystal clear LCD.
All standard routines are visible and graphics guide users through the simple questions.
Operation-specific soft keys reinforce the boast that Acu-Rite systems are the easiest to use in the industry.
For milling, the system is supplied as standard with bolt hole pattern calculations for full and partial circles with graphics, zero reset and preset features, tool diameter compensation and near zero warning, for example.
For turning, the system features include taper turning functionality and 16 tool offsets that, when used with the axis lock feature, ensures tool deflection is reduced even under load.
Grinding and general use applications for the DRO 200S are based around the system's zero reset, linear error compensation, instant radius-to-diameter and inch to mm conversions, as well as absolute/incremental display features.
RS232 port and workpiece probing functionality is standard.
