Returns Simplified.The Sherline Lathe DRO w/ CNC Thrust Collars 8200 (“) is an advanced digital readout system designed to enhance the precision and ease of use for machinists operating lathes equipped with CNC stepper motors. This system requires the removal of handwheels to install CNC stepper motor mounts, allowing the digital readout to measure handwheel rotation and electronically translate it into table movement. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who wish to crosscheck the CNC input against the actual movement of the axis, ensuring accuracy in machining operations.
Digital readouts are increasingly popular in machining, as they simplify the process by eliminating the need to count handwheel revolutions or perform complex calculations. The system allows for easy resetting of the X- and Z-axes to zero with a simple button press, providing precise readings to 3-1/2 decimal places in inches or to .01mm in metric versions. This capability significantly enhances the machinist’s ability to achieve precise measurements and adjustments during operations.
For those utilizing their lathe as a mill with a vertical milling column attachment, a 3-axis DRO kit is available, offering further versatility. Additionally, the system is designed to be cost-effective for owners of both a lathe and a mill, as it allows for the use of a single electronic display box across both machines. This adaptability ensures that users can maximize their investment by easily transferring the readout box between machines as needed.
