The most popular digital readout system in the machine tool marketplace, the DRO203 incorporates 7-inch color display technology with versatile software. Designed and manufactured in the USA, ACU-RITE readouts are the first choice of machine tool builders and users alike.
Milling Specific Features
- Bolthole pattern calculations with graphics (full and partial circles/linear patterns)
- Centerline calculation enables you to establish workpiece zero and midpoints
Turning Specific Features
- Lock axis feature
- Instant radius/diameter conversion
- Taper Calculator
- CSS (option)
Dynamic zoom
The currently moving axis can be geographically highlighted. In “dynamic zoom” mode, the position value is zoomed to its maximum size depending on the number of digits. This greatly improves legibility—especially from a great distance.
Installation guide
When you switch on the digital readout for the first time, the DRO203 supports you with an installation guide. You are led step by step through the most important settings until the device is ready for operation.
Day/night switching
Depending on the ambient-light conditions at the machine, you can switch the screen of the DRO203 to a light or dark background.
