DIGITAL READOUT PRODUCTS

Accuracy
With a digital readout system the position is accurately given by the display right in front of the operator, all the way down to 0.00005" (1 micron) depending on the linear encoder chosen. The linear encoder only registers actual machine movement, effectively eliminating backlash from the positioning process. No more guesswork!

ANILAM's precision glass scale encoders are by far the most accepted transducers in the market, easily out-performing other technologies due to their accuracy and repeatability. The finer the measuring grid, the more precise the measurement!

Productivity
With no guesswork involved in the positioning process and with the position clearly available in the display, the work can be done much faster. The Wizard consoles are full of features that will save even more time resulting in even more productivity gain, as e.g. bolthole circle calculation, taper checking, electronic notepad and much more. And with EverTrackTM, ANILAM's new power protection feature, the system always knows where it is.

Increased productivity immediately translates into return on investment. Depending on how advanced a system is chosen, the conversion of non-productive time into productive varies as indicated in this chart.

The return on investing in a DRO system begins immediately. The gain in productivity pays for the investments in only a few weeks as exemplified in the chart. This pay-back starts immediately, since ANILAM's Wizard systems are so easy to learn and use. The pay-back time is effectively independent of the level of system because the higher investment is compensated by the higher productivity gain. After those initial couple of weeks pay-back time, all that increased productivity becomes profit in your pocket.

Quality
By using a Wizard readout system, the possibility of mis-positioning is efficiently removed. With easy-to-use routines in the console software, even complicated and time consuming calculations are done for you — quickly and correctly. The result is less errors and less scrap. This means higher quality parts produced faster and with lower costs.

Versatility
A Wizard readout owner will quickly reach the expected gains in productivity and quality. Soon, it becomes clear that the versatility of the machine has increased with the access to a variety of software features assisting the operator. Parts that could only be made with great effort before, can now be readily machined. The available market expands with the increased versatility of the machine tool. More jobs to go for and more choice to select from when picking the most profitable ones.
