Description
This magnetic technology digital readout package fits virtually any milling machine with less than 31.8" total X-, Y-, and Z-axis travel.
This kit includes 1 meter (39.4") of magnetic scale that you cut to the lengths required for your machine. The instructions tell you how to measure and cut the magnetic scale.
This package includes what you need to put a DRO on most any milling (or 3-in-one) machine. It includes a section of scale, three read heads, and a Bluetooth transceiver. Typical mounting bracket designs are included in the instructions. However, due to the wide range of possible applications, appropriate brackets cannot be supplied.
You must also get an Android tablet for the display on this DRO. We recommend a 7" screen size, and the tablet must have Bluetooth capability.
***NOTE: This is not a simple "plug in" accessory that requires installation. Please review the instructions in Chris's Tips before purchase.
Chris's Tips
What's it takes to assemble a DRO?
-
Scale, Magnetic 1 Meter (5498) - One meter is usually enough for small mills. See Measuring for Scales below.
-
Read Head, Magnetic (5499) - Get as many of these as you have axes on your machine.
-
Transceiver, Bluetooth (5501) - This is the "sender" that talks to your Android Bluetooth phone or tablet.
-
Android Tablet (5513) - Any Android phone or tablet works as long as it has Bluetooth capability.
