DRO Components
Model G0768Z features a magnetically mounted
DRO (see
Figure 1) for X-axis (cross slide) and
Z-axis (carriage) travel.
Note: When placing the DRO, locate all cables so
they do not interfere with machine operation and
cannot be pinched by moving components.
Figure 1. DRO magnetically mounted on lathe
headstock.
The X-axis and Z-axis scales are attached to
the cross slide and bed (respectively). Shielded
cables run from each sensor to plugs on the back
of the DRO (see
Figure 2). The DRO connects
to a regular 110V power supply with a dedicated
power cord using a NEMA 1-15 plug.
Digital Readout
A. DRO displays current position of X-axis and
Z-axis in hundredths of a millimeter or thou-
sandths of an inch. (Included Y-axis display
line is not used on G0768Z.)
B. "X" value displays total X-axis travel from
zero along cross slide.
C. "Z" value displays total Z-axis travel from
zero along lathe bed.
D. In/MM button allows users to toggle
measurement display in either inches or
millimeters.
E. ZERO buttons reset values at any point along
the axis to 0.00.
F. Green light indicates inches or millimeters.
G. Magnetic mount.
