Tablet Digital Readout System
December 1, 2022
"Offering machinists a pioneering way to a new Bluetooth-enabled digital readout, HEIDENHAIN has introduced the highly anticipated ACU-RITE-brand droPWR," said a company spokesperson. "This new droPWR is a first-of-its-kind system to enable an iPad tablet to become a digital readout (DRO), doing everything an ACU-RITE DRO can except without cables between tablet and machine tool."
Bluetooth technology along with an IBT interface box in the droPWR system allow connection to multiple machine configurations in one tablet, including for milling, turning and grinding machines with up to six axes. Designed to be simple and functional, this tablet DRO can be moved and used with various machines, making it suited for many production environments such as small shops and students in shop class.
droPWR takes manual machining to the next level by combining the familiar intuitive user experience from the traditional ACU-RITE DROs with modern touchscreen conventions. The droPWR system includes the new software, an IBT interface box suitable for the machine tool and relevant encoders/brackets if needed. A tablet with iOS 15 or greater is required. With the simple on-boarding configuration set-up, a user can quickly establish connection to the intended machine(s).
