300S

The ACU-RITE 300 series is a versatile programmable digital readout for 2-, 3- or 4-axes display in turning and milling modes. it is designed primarily for milling machines, drilling and boring machines and lathes with up to 4 axes.

The easy-to-use readout contains many new and advanced features such as multiple-language display and multi-programme storage.

This robust unit also features a splash-proof full travel keypad for workshop use.

Operation

The 300S is equipped with a 5.7” LCD monitor that replaces the cathode-ray monitor of the VRO300. The “soft keys” are used for a variety of functions, such as operation and parameterisation. The monitor is also used in the 200S series. The 300S provides all the functions of a programmable counter, such as the creation, editing, storing and running of programmes. Multiple programmes with different names can be saved in the programme list.

Mechanical compatibility

The 300S can be installed on all counter mounting bases as well as in the existing mounting frames.

Electrical connection

All digital ACU-RITE scales with D9 connectors can be connected directly to the 300S.
