The ACU-RITE VUE is an up-to-three-axis device mainly used as position display unit for simple infeed and positioning tasks, such as on milling, turning and grinding machines, drilling and boring machines, press brakes, crosscut saws, for positioning on rotary tables, etc. The clear and unambiguous display of the current position value on the large, clearly structured LCD screen makes working with the VUE easy and reliable.

 

Milling Specific Features

  • Bolthole pattern calculations with graphics (full and partial circles/linear patterns)
  • Centerline calculation enables you to establish workpiece zero and midpoints

Turning Specific Features

  • Lock axis feature – used in conjunction with tool offsetting, lets you establish tool offsets with the tool under load, resulting in reduced tool deflection.
  • Instant radius/diameter conversion
