Definizione:A DRO is a device with a display unit recoding signals, in a numerical format, produced by a linear encoder or other device that records positions on a workpiece or tool

TECHNOLOGY:

A DRO allows workpieces or tools to be accurately and rapidly positioned during manual metrology tasks and, in comparison to manual positioning, saves operators time and minimises mistakes. The DRO generally comprises is a small computer with rotary or linear encoder and display unit to show single axis or multiple axis positions (x, y and z).

APPLICATIONS:

Suitable for manual metrology applications in order to increase accuracy and speed of positioning.

MICROSCOPE CONFIGURATION:

A digital read out (DRO) is incorporated in Nikon’s V20-B, 20-inch profile projector and V12-B series 12-inch profile projectors. In addition, the MM-400S, SL and MM-800S, SL measuring microscopes were created for use with Metronics Quadra-Chek and other 3rd-party digital readouts. They offer an economical alternative if non-Nikon data processors are used. Digital readouts can be retrofitted as required.
