Acu-Rite Scales
Only with Acu-Rite’s precision glass scale technology can you be assured that the encoder on your machine tool is checking its actual position thousands of times in every inch of travel.
An Acu-Rite 1um precision glass scale has 1,270 accurately placed chrome lines per inch, each of which a photoelectric reading head detects as it slides across the glass.
This give Acu-Rite’s precision glass scales a fundamental measuring interval 10 times finer than the nearest alternative encoder technology.
Acu-Rite’s precision glass scales and encoder optics are enclosed in an aluminum housing with sealed, die-cast metal end caps which make them virtually unbreakable during standard machine tool usage.
To enhance system durability, the glass scale and sensor are protected from the environment by a recessed, highly chemical-resistant, interlocking lipseal to further prevent the entry of metal chips and other contaminants. A nickel-plated armor cable offers additional protection and allows for a tighter bend radius. Acu-Rite also applies a conformal coating that seals the wires and circuitry inside the reading head, leaving little chance of failure.
Because of the large quantity of available Acu-Rite scales and related items we do not list all products for sale on this page. Please call us at 800-285-5271 for price and availability on any Acu-Rite scale, reader head or repair to your current Acu-Rite product
Acu-Rite MillPWR G2
For more than 40 years, machinists have trusted ACU-RITE to provide affordable, practical solutions to the challenges they face every day. That tradition continues with MILLPWR G2 by ACU-RITE, a versatile 2- or 3-axes control/3-axes readout system that satisfies the need for both manual and automated operations for milling machines.
Faster set-ups, shorter run times, and a major boost in productivity are just one “powerful easy” retrofit away. The new MILLPWR G2 control and retrofit kits can turn just about any knee mill into a powerhouse money-maker.
USB and Ethernet compatible, it features a bright 12.1″ high-resolution display, 1 GHz processor, and plenty of programming capabilities – estimated runtimes, expanded tool/datum offsets, enhanced tool paths, plus a DFX converter.
The unit must be installed by a certified MillPWR Technician. Please call to discuss the cost of installation if you are interested.
