I've been talking to a suppier somewhat local to me about a Newall DP900 4 axis dro and am about to order it. I wanted the 4 axis system ( x,y and reader heads on knee and quill travel)as I think this gives you a very vesatile system. This system can be set up with the 4th axis for the spindle z axis OR rotary axis but will not switch between both, And the rotary axis requires a different display.
He also states that Newall sell a stand alone display for the rotary axis but requires a rotary encoder that Newall does not sell, So does anybody have and use this system?
If you do, Likes/dislikes/accuracy/what rotary encoder did you use? Would you buy it again?
This seems like it would be a very good system to have as it gives you a measurment independant of the inherent accuracy of the worm and worm wheel. So anybody care to comment on this system?
