Facilitates electronic transfer between lathe and mill
Optimizes cost by eliminating duplicate equipment
Supports manual precision with select inch/metric option
Ensures accurate reading on ball screw machines
Limits CNC speed to 15 in/min for safety
The Sherline 2-Axis Lathe DRO w/ CNC Thrust Collars (Metric) is an innovative solution for those who already possess a digital readout on their milling machine and wish to extend this functionality to their lathe. This product is designed to facilitate the seamless transfer of the electronics box between the lathe and the mill, thereby eliminating the need for duplicate equipment and offering a cost-effective approach to enhancing machining capabilities.
This lathe DRO is specifically engineered for manual operation, ensuring precision and ease of use. It is important to note that when integrated with a CNC machine, the movement speed should not exceed 15 inches per minute (381 millimeters per minute) to maintain optimal performance and prevent potential damage.
The system allows users to select between inch and metric options, ensuring compatibility with the machine's leadscrew pitch. This feature is particularly beneficial for those utilizing ball screw machines, which inherently operate on a metric pitch, thereby ensuring accurate and reliable measurements during machining operations.
