DRO-PC
The
innovative DigiBall digital readout system (DRO) uses any ordinary
PC with USB ports,
connected via a DigiBall Decoder to either DigiBall or Newall™ DRO
linear encoders on any machine tool, to give you the very latest
DRO technology
that
will
help make
you more productive and profitable.
Imagine a DRO system on a lathe, or mill, that displays the working drawing of
what you are machining - and where the axis readings can be as large as the screen
that you choose to use.
Where individual axis readings can be instantly
changed "on-the-fly" from mm to inches; absolute to
incremental; radius to diameter; any axis summed with any other axis;
any axis value transferred to a
calculator – mathematically manipulated - and then returned to the
display; previously changed axis values undone at any subsequent time;
displayed axis values held for tool changes; and axis resolution altered to
suit your lathe, mill or the job.
Where the CAD drawing can
be moved, zoomed, rotated or flipped so that it lines up to the machine's cutter
path on the component.
To add computer-aided accuracy to your centre lathe or turret mill
- as well as, having all the other benefits of a PC-based DRO
- you need only the DigiBall Decoder. Then plug in DigiBall linear
encoders (or your existing Newall Spherosyn™ or Microsyn™
encoders) and connect the Decoder to a spare USB port on the
PC.
Take
just a few minutes to learn the simple
PC2DRO+™ program
- then start cutting metal on those lathes, mills, grinders
and borers more profitably.
Why not DOWNLOAD the Demo program either
at your office, or home, and see for yourself how easy they are to
learn and
use?
