DR300-UN
Installation
Mounting
The DRO has different types of arms for mounting to a mill or a lathe. Check that you have the correct type of arm for your
machine before attempting to install the DRO.
Mill Mounting
Step 1
:
Determine the ideal mounting location for your particular machine. Using the mounting base as a guide, center
punch, drill, and tap two holes for the 1/4-20 or M6 screws. Attach the arm assembly to the machine as shown. Use the
four set screws to level the mounting arm.
Step 2
:
Attach the DRO to the end of the mounting arm using the included hardware.
Due to the large number of machines and mounting configurations that are supported by the unit, hardware for
securing the mounting arm to the machine is not included. Use two 1/4-20 or M6 screws of an appropriate length
for your particular mounting arrangement.
Make sure that the DRO and cabling will clear all parts of the machine and
will be shielded from coolant nozzles, flying chips, or other hazards.
Be sure that the mounting arm is securely tightened or damage to
the DRO may occur.
Be sure that the DRO is in the correct orientation
