ND 280 & ND 287 DIGITAL READOUTS:
The ND 200 series offers digital readouts for one axis. Due to their performance range they are predestined for measuring and inspection stations, but is also intended for simple positioning tasks such as in feed for a circular saw, the stroke of press travel, or the position of an additional rotary table on a machine tool. The switching inputs and outputs of the ND 287 permit operation also in simple automated environments.
Design
The ND 200 series features a sturdy aluminum die-cast housing. The splash proof full-travel keyboard is built for the workshop. A large graphic TFT monitor displays the measured values, the status and the soft-key row.
Functions
The standard position display ND 280 provides the basic functions for simple measuring tasks. The ND 287 features numerous functions for measuring and statistical evaluation of measured values such as sorting and tolerance check mode, minimum/maximum value storage, and measurement series storage. These data make it possible to calculate mean values and standard deviations and display them in histograms or control charts. With its modular design, the ND 287 permits connection of a second encoder for sum/difference measurement or of an analog sensor, for example for temperature compensation.
ND 522 & ND 523 DIGITAL READOUTS:
The position displays of the ND 500 series are suited for use on manually operated milling, drilling, boring machines and lathes with two or three axes. Due to the TTL encoder input, primarily the LS 328 and LS 628 linear encoders with a measuring step of 5 ?m are used.
Design
With its sturdy housing and splash-proof membrane keyboard, the ND 500 is built for the workshop. The ND 500 series shows display position values, the soft-key row and other useful information on a monochrome graphic screen.
Functions
The most important functions offer quick and exact access. Soft keys with clear information in the local language enable you to make entries that fi t your momentary situation. The distance-to-go display facilitates positioning. You approach the next position quickly and reliably by simply traversing to the display value zero. The functions for each application are easily activated by parameter input. Special functions are available for producing hole patterns (linear patterns and circular patterns). You can easily switch between radius and diameter display when the position display is configured for turning. On lathes with a separate top slide, the sum display feature of the ND 523 allows you to display the saddle and top slides together or separately. Setting datums on a lathe part is particularly easy with the freeze tool position function and subsequent retracting.
ND 780 DIGITAL READOUT:
The ND 780 display unit is especially suited for use on milling, drilling and boring machines and lathes with up to three axes. A separate I/O unit provides switching input/outputs for simple tasks in automation.
Design
The ND 780 display unit is designed as a sturdy upright unit with splash-proof full travel keypad for use in a workshop. It is equipped with a monochrome flat screen for position values, dialog and input displays, graphic functions and graphic positioning support.
Functions
The ND 780 display unit is characterized by its plain language dialog guidance. The distance-to-go display facilitates positioning. You approach the next position quickly and reliably by simply traversing to the display value zero. The functions for each application are easily activated by parameter input. Special functions are available for producing hole patterns (linear patterns and circular patterns). Datum’s can be determined quickly and accurately with an edge finder. The ND 780 readout supports you with special probing functions. You can easily switch between radius and diameter display when the position display is configured for turning. The readout also offers support for lathes with separate top slide: The sum display feature allows you to display the saddle and top slides together or separately. To set a datum, touch the work piece and freeze the tool position. Then retract and measure the work piece.
POSITIP 880 (PT 880) DIGITAL READOUT:
The POSITIP 880 is a versatile display unit designed primarily for milling machines, drilling and boring machines and lathes with up to six axes. A separate I/O unit provides switching input/outputs for simple tasks in automation.
Design
The POSITIP 880 display unit is designed as a sturdy upright unit with splash-proof full-travel keypad for use in the workshop. It supports all operations with straightforward interactive menus on its large, easy-to-read color flat screen. And it does it on big machines as well: Since the POSITIP 880 permits the connection of a separate display and control unit; you can have all position values and functions available at a remote console.
Functions
The POSITIP 880 provides advanced features beyond those offered by the ND 780 display unit. The POSITIP 880 supports any axis combination and helps you at 2-D machining operations with its graphic contour monitoring and magnify function. In the milling mode it supports you in machining and clearing out rectangular pockets while it takes allowances into account during turning. The programming capabilities of POSITIP 880 make it ideal for small-batch production on conventional machine tools: you can store up to 999 program blocks per program in its memory. Programs are created by either keying them in step by step or generating them through actual position capture (Teach-in programming). With the sub-programming capability, you can enter repetitive machining sequences on the same work piece once only. Fixed cycles keep your programs short and save you programming time.
