Dro

Len Sherman All Messages By This Member #27717 I really like TouchDRO and did this set up on my V10P because I wanted it be as small and out of the way as possible: https://lensprojects.com/2015/09/27/touchdro-machine-position-digital-readout/
[email protected] All Messages By This Member #27711 Thanks for the suggestions :) ? All very good ??? ? I over spent a bit due to a bad mill motor and chuck ! So I decided to use : ? Msure linear mag scales with various displays for the 3 axis I’m looking for … ? Msure is a uk company with very cost effective products , They have 3 main types for lathes and mills ,? 1) First one looks like a calliper without jaws and the read out is small and ends up tucked away a bit fir the Z axis of the lathe, This one worked well on my mini proxxon. ? 2) Second type has a transverse display great for cross slide as the display oriented correctly. ? 3) Type three has a remote display with magnets and features Abs/Inc … This one suits the Z axis of the lathe and comes in up to 600mm travel ! ? So all in 3 scales were ?110 delivered! ? limitations : ? Resolution 0.01 mm only (all types) ? fairly bad accuracy over 300mm or so but workable with caliper checks on your part if it’s long…. Over 100mm it’s pretty good (within 0.01mm) which for most jobs is good enough.. ? Displays not in one location but the magnetic remote display type is very flexible.. ? No PCD function? ? So if you’re on a tight budget and sneak up on dimensions I think it’s a good solution and the product vs price is exceptional!! ? Cheers R

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #27634 开云体育 I added a 3-axis DRO many years ago and I could not imagine having to go back to the manual dials. In fact, the z-axis died on me so I ordered a replacement computer (I kept the original glass scales and just matched the model of the DRO) and literally just installed it on Saturday. The original install took a while with quite a few custom fabricated brackets, but it was absolutely worth it IMO. The model I got was the GCS900-3D. The original one I got from ebay, but the replacement one I got from Aliexpress (). They’re cheap Chinese quality, but the computer lasted me for almost a decade and the scales are still perfect. ? Here’s a blog with some Youtube videos I did way back when to document it. Hope this helps ? ?

May well have been covered but ….. ? what’s the opinions here on adding a Dro and which one ? ? I have a small proxxon which I added a Dro to the carriage and simply used a good Dti behind the cross slide as a when needed , It works well especially for the milling attachment side of things … ? Probably something better and easier to use would be good for a bigger lathe :) ? Ricky
