Digital readout suits both turning and
milling
Newall Measurement Systems has launched a new cost effective digital readout (DRO) aimed at general machining applications where accuracy is a prime consideration.
Newall Measurement Systems has launched a new cost effective digital readout (DRO) aimed at general machining applications where accuracy is a prime consideration Suitable for two or three-axis machine tools including manual lathes and milling machines, the DRO is housed in a rugged die cast chassis making it ideal for most machine shop, tool room and model shop environments

Advances in linear encoder technology on the way
The Mach 2002 exhibition will see major new developments in linear encoder technology from one of the major names in the field, featuring its unique 'ball' technology
Digital encoder developments demonstrated
Newall will be showcasing its comprehensive range of digital encoders and DROs at Drives and Controls 2002, including several major new developments in linear encoder and readout technology.
The standard product is sold as being suitable for both turning and milling applications; the user simply selects the appropriate function.
For lathe users this will allow the creation of up to 99 tool offsets, whereas for milling applications operators will be able to perform bolt hole circle (PCD) functions.
With just a couple of connections to be made/unmade the new B60 DRO can be readily transferred between the set of linear scales located on each machine thus keeping capital outlay to an absolute minimum.
This could be of particular interest to model makers who perhaps own two or three manual machine tools.
Other main features of the effective B60 include: absolute/incremental operation; inch/metric conversion; zero reset/data preset; data hold; radius/diameter readings; centre find; home reference; linear error compensation; memory backup; and sleep mode.
As there is effectively only one model of the Newall B60 DRO, there are obvious benefits for distributors looking to sell into either retrofit applications or to machine tool importers looking for a "first fit" solution. Request a free brochure from Newall Measurement Systems ...
