Digital Readouts Linear Encoders for Manually Operated Machine Tools

Digital readouts from ACU-RITE make your manually operated machine tools more profitable, improve productivity, and raise the quality of the machined workpiece. The large LCD display clearly shows the actual axis positions. The context-sensitive graphical user guidance makes working with digital readouts from ACU-RITE a pleasure. Together with the linear scales from ACU-RITE they form an economic and effective package solution for initial setup or retrofitting on your machine tool.

Functions – Probing Functions for Datums (200S, 300S) – Tool Compensation (VUE, 200S, 300S) Easy setup with probing functions A very useful accessory for datum setting is the HEIDENHAIN KT edge finder: Simply move the edge finder toward a side of the workpiece until the stylus deflects. The counter automatically stores the exact position, taking into account the direction of approach and the radius of the stylus. In milling machine mode, the 200S and 300S digital readouts offer the following probe functions: • Workpiece edge as reference line • Workpiece centerline as reference line • Circle center...

– Distance-to-Go Display (VUE, 200S, 300S) – Contour Monitoring (VUE, 300S) Distance-to-go display for turning and milling The distance-to-go display feature simplifies your work considerably: you enter the next nominal position, and the display shows you the distance remaining to the target position. This means, you simply traverse to the display value zero. The displays for milling can also compensate the cutter radius. In this way you can directly use the drawing dimensions without having to do any conversions. You no longer have to remember any complicated values. The distance-to-go display...

Automatic calculation of bolt hole patterns for milling and drilling In milling machine mode you can machine bolt hole circles (full circle or circle segments) and linear hole patterns without having to calculate: You simply enter the geometric dimensions and the number of holes from the drawing. The display calculates the coordinates of the individual holes in the working plane. You only need to traverse "to zero" and drill. Then the display shows the next position. The graphic display is a particularly useful feature: it lets you verify your input of the programmed bolt-hole pattern before...

Radius/diameter display In the lathe mode you can see the positions of the transverse axis in either radius or diameter values. You can switch at a keystroke. Sum display of longitudinal axes In lathe mode, the positions of the saddle and the top slide are displayed either separately or as the sum of both values: • If you select separate displays, the position values are referenced to the datum for each individual axis. If only the saddle is moved, the displayed value for the top-slide axis remains unchanged. • If sum display is selected, the counter adds both values while taking the algebraic...

anno anno anno The VUE position displays from ACU-RITE are suited for use on manually operated milling, drilling, boring machines and lathes with two or three axes. Description With its sturdy housing and splash-proof membrane keyboard, the VUE is built for the workshop. The VUE shows display position values, the soft-key row and other useful information on a monochrome graphic screen. Functions The most important functions are available quickly and directly via function keys. Soft keys with clear information in the local language enable you to make entries that fit your momentary situation....

The 300S digital readout from ACU-RITE is a versatile display unit designed primarily for milling machines, drilling and boring machines and lathes with up to 4 axes. A separate I/O unit provides switching input/ outputs for simple tasks in automation. Description The 300S display unit is designed as a sturdy upright unit with splash-proof full-travel keypad for use in the workshop. It supports all operations with straightforward interactive menus on its large, easy-to-read color flat screen. Functions The 300S digital readout offers all the functions of the 200S. In addition, the 300S is programmable,...

Accessories – Edge Finder KT 130 edge finder For any workpiece materials With spiral cable ID 283273-S1 The KT 130 is a 3-D triggering edge finder. This means it can also be used for nonconducting materials. The stylus is deflected when it contacts the workpiece, and the edge finder sends a triggering signal over the connecting cable to the 200S or 300S digital readout. The KT 130 edge finder allows you to set reference points quickly and easily, without leaving marks on the workp

The 200S and 300S digital readouts were conceived as upright units. There are several possible mounting configurations: • Threaded mounting holes M6 and M8 on the housing floor • Mounting frame • Mounting arm and tilt/swivel assembly Accessory: Mounting arms (see page 18) Accessories (accessory) ID 532811-01 For mounting the digital readout in a housing or operating panel. The VUE digital readout is fastened either on a mounting arm on the machine, with the aid of a mounting base, or installed in a control panel. The parts required for fastening the display are included in delivery. They enable...
