Newall Measurement Systems has released details of its latest DRO and linear encoder package designed specifically for the model-making sector.
Newall Measurement Systems has released details of its latest DRO and linear encoder package designed specifically for the model-making sector.
Comprising Newall's Microsyn linear encoder and its Digipac two-axis digital readout (DRO), the measurement solution is available exclusively through the company's Hawarden based distributor, Chester UK.
Equally suited to the professional or amateur model maker alike, the new measurement package combines high accuracy with robust and compact units covering travel lengths from 50mm to 1m.
In particular, the compact nature of the reader head and light carbon fibre bodies, ensures ease of installation on the smaller scale machine tools typically used in the model-making environment.
The Microsyn encoder features Newall's proven 'ball' technology that provides unrivalled mechanical efficiency, primarily through the elimination of wear and poor performance characteristics typically associated with glass encoders.
With an IP67 rating, the encoder is fully submersible and requires minimal cleaning and maintenance.
In addition, a lifetime scale warranty as standard offers both professional and amateur machinists unbeatable value.
Repeatability on the Microsyn encoder falls within one resolution count, definable in a range between 0.2 and 5um.
With an operating temperature of 0 to 55C and a transverse rate of 0.75m/s, the encoder is ideal for applications which demand detailed, accurate work, such as model making.
These characteristics, combined with the Digipac DRO's clear, easy-to-read digital display, linear-error compensation and absolute reference point, makes Newall's latest machine tool measurement innovations ideal for private or commercial use.
Indeed, with the Digipac DRO's EEPROM for continuous data storage, this innovative DRO, combined with the Microsyn encoder, meets the highest performance prerequisites.
Chester UK offers the Microsyn encoder and Digipac DRO package as an option on its standard miniature mill and lathe ranges.
Bob Massam, Sales and Marketing Director at Newall, praised the products, explaining that the solution offered by the two companies bridges the gap between the demands of private enterprise and the enthusiast's budget.
"With the Microsyn encoder and Digipac DRO, we've managed to distil the robustness and accuracy of our larger scale products into a compact, affordable system".
