DRO100 Digital Readout

DRO100 LCD Digital Readout System

The most cost-effective, entry-level digital readout system that incorporates display technology, the DRO100 offers features and versatile software. Designed and manufactured in the USA, ACU-RITE readouts are the first choice of machine tool builders and users alike.

Long-distance legibility

In “dynamic zoom” mode, the position value is zoomed to its maximum size depending on the number of digits. This greatly improves legibility—especially from a great distance. Click here to see Dynamic Zoom in action.

Adjusts to the machine environment

Day/night switching allows you to change from a light or dark background depending on the ambient-light conditions at the machine.

Step-by-step, on-screen installation guide

When you switch on the digital readout for the first time, the DRO100 supports you with an installation guide. You are led step by step through the most important settings until the device is ready for operation.
