Compact DRO System Offers Greater Control

The latest single-axis analogue readout system with a keypad, the A50, targets the machinery and metrology markets. The new unit is packed with innovative features and is supplied with Newall’s renowned five-year warranty.

Housed in an attractive, rugged die-cast enclosure with a wipe-clean, tactile control panel, the A50 provides outstanding position monitoring possibilities. Featuring scale factoring, linear and segmented error compensation, axis resolution, diagnostic signal detection, standard inch/metric and reference functions, the A50 is available in panel-mounted and standard enclosure versions, with an optional external mains AC adapter.

Measuring just 5.6” in width and 2.8” in depth, the A50 is ideally suited for applications where space is at a premium and accurate monitoring is a must. Suitable for use with Newall’s Spherosyn™ and Microsyn™ linear encoders, the A50 has a measurement resolution of 50µm to 1µm, can operate in temperatures up to 842 degrees Fahrenheit and provides the operator with enhanced control via its easy-to-use keypad.

Unsurprisingly, a number of industrial operations will benefit from this innovative digital readout including, for example, height and depth gauges and single-axis measurement in grinders, saws and guillotines. The tough casing and five-year warranty also makes it ideal for abrasive environments where excessive wear could damage traditional analogue readouts.The A50 combines cost efficiency and accurate monitoring with a small footprint area and multiple functionality. This unique combination offers operators in the machinery and metrology markets greater tool efficiency and productivity through heightened control.
