LCD display system replaces conventional LED readout systems

Acu-Rite will introduce its newly designed generation of Digital Readout Systems, the 200S, for all manual machine tool applications. The major innovation of the 200S DRO consoles is the LCD display, which replaces the traditional LED and VFD display technology still used by others. All new 200S consoles have 5.7 in., 320x240 resolution transmissive LCD displays.

Major benefits of this display technology are that users can now configure the console for a 2-or 3- axis display and set the application software for milling, turning, grinding, or general use according to their needs. This versatility negates the need for users to buy multiple application- specific consoles.

The system is now intuitive as all prompts, instructions, and help functions are visible as text or graphics on the screen. In addition, all standard routines are now visible on the screen with graphics to guide users through the simple questions. It will no longer be necessary to constantly refer to a manual, or memorize codes, to access the functionality in the system. The 200S for milling comes complete with bolthole pattern calculations for full and partial circles with graphics, zero reset and preset features, tool diameter compensation, near zero warning, and every other operating feature available in Acu-Rite's previous DRO product lines.
