The DRO PROSM series Milling Machine packages come in both 2 and 3 axis kits.
By far, it is the easiest to use DRO on the planet. Manufactured by Easson, this
is the ES15 model - the next generation from the yellow ES-10. Differences
include an upgraded solid state power supply, non-linear error compensation and
a filter feature. All mill functions have dedicated buttons on the front panel -
no more searching through endless menus to find the function you want!
Just push the function key, and the display automatically prompts you to enter
the parameters - no manual needed on this DRO! Professional duty pressure-cast
aluminum display head is over 12" across, large luminescent display has
excellent off-center viewing no matter what angle you're viewing it from!
Resolution is user selectable between 5 microns (.0002") or 1 micron (.00005").
New Full Color 72 page user manual is a DRO PROS exclusive -
written in-house by our technical staff, it's most likely the best manual you've
ever seen. Finally, DRO PROS carries a huge
inventory of parts - and we don't gouge for parts like you'll find elsewhere!
Need a 31" replacement scale for an out of warranty display?
How about $197 out the door? Try to find that at "the other guys"!
Kits include everything you need - the display head, mounting arm,
power cord, detailed installation manual, a super detailed, full color, 60
page
operators manual, a FREE training video DVD, scale shields, mounting hardware,

DRO
PROS 2M
& 3M
Basic and
Special Functions Explained:
Clear Zero
- Sets the current position to zero. Allows the operator to specify any desired
point as the "0" reference point.
Inch/Metric Display
Conversion - Allows the operator to choose between inch and metric display.
Direct Entry
-
Allows operator to manually input desired dimension / coordinate.
Result Transfer
-
A point value computed from the calculator feature can be entered and found.
ABS/INC (Absolute /
Incremental)
-
Allows the operator to switch between absolute and incremental display.
'Absolute' display references the work piece zero coordinate you designate. You
may choose the absolute center point of your workpiece or perhaps a corner of
your workpiece, the decision is yours. Incremental display references any
arbitrary coordinate/position without losing your designated zero point. For
example, to locate a point exactly in the middle of your workpiece you would
most likely use 'absolute' display to locate the point. To locate points exactly
.78 distant from an arbitrary point somewhere in the middle of your workpiece,
you would then switch to 'incremental' display, designate the present position
as a zero point, and then simply move your workpiece until .78 was displayed.
Center Find Function
-
Automatically calculates the center of the workpiece after the edges are
located.
199 Reference or Sub
Datum Memory (SDM) Points
-
Are you doing any sort of repetitive machining? Wouldn't it be great to be able
to create exact copies of your original workpiece? Well now you can - either
enter your points as you move to them on your workpiece or simply enter them in
a list format - the choice is yours!
Power
off Memory
(Reference
Datum Memory)
-
This function allows the operator to store the work piece zero position in
memory. If the machine is turned off at night or there is a power failure, the
zero reference point can be recovered without having to re-establish the work
piece zero point.
Linear Hole Tool
Positioning
-
Provides a linear hole positioning function for drilling holes a fixed distance
apart, at any angle.
Incline Tool Position
-Allows the operator to accurately position the workpiece at an angle on
the work table. Also allows an incline function for machining parts positioned
on an inclined surface.
Bolt Hole Circle (aka
as PCD or Pitch Circle Diameter)
-
Using the Bolt Hole circle function, the operator can drill holes in a circle
from a designated center point.
ARC Machining
-
Allows the operator to make radius and arc cuts.
Built In Calculator
- The display includes a
built in calculator function which provides normal mathematical functions such
as: add, subtract, multiply, division, sin, cosine, tangent, square root, etc.
Parameters Setup
-
Enables you to swap or 'reverse' the direction a scale reads, also allows the
operator to perform a memory check.
Linear Error
Compensation
- This function allows the
operator to compensate for linear error.
Non Linear Error
Compensation
- This function allows the operator to compensate for non-linear error. Normally
only available in readouts costing twice as much, Non-Linear Error Compensation
dials in scale accuracy to the micron!
Shrinkage Calculation
- For mold making, allows the operator to enter a shrink factor to compensate
for material shrinkage during cooling.
Vibration Filtering
- Filters the display toggles to obtain a more comfortable reading.
High Noise Immunity & (EMC) Design
A triple stage noise
filter is used in the
3m
for transducer signals input noise filtering which offer very wide frequency
bandwidth (1 KHz-1000 MHz) noise attenuation. Extreme care was taken in PCB and
component layout to achieve the highest possible noise immunity and EMC
performance.
Adaptable to Poor Electrical
Sources
A low power consumption
approach was used in the system design of the
3m.
The
3m
can handle a wide range of supply voltages (160v~260v/80v~130v). The
3m's
linear power supply offers excellent noise immunity and proven highest
reliability without serious heat generation. Use of a combined
capacitor-varistor noise filter in the power supply system ensures the highest
possible noise and surge immunity to poor electrical sources.
High Durability Switch Membrane
An Autotex series
polyester film from UK'S Autotype Ltd. is used as the key membrane of the
3m.
Autotex polyester film is known as the highest quality, highest specification
membrane film available in the membrane switch manufacturing industry. Autotex
film offers excellent switch life and chemical resistance to the most commonly
used industry solvents. Switch life expectancy is rated at a minimum of 100,000
cycles.
Robust Casing, Chromium Plated
Panel
The front plate is made
from 1.5mm thick electroplated steel. The high strength 3.5mm metal casing
provides a high quality, robust housing.
Ultra Low Temperature Rise
Transformer
Reducing heat generation
is critical to longevity. An ultra low temperature rise high permeability iron
core transformer is utilized, which significantly reduces core temperature rise
to about 5 degrees Celsius.
State of the Art Electronics
Technology
A custom 3 axes counting
ASIC designed with CMOS technology greatly reduces the number of component
counts, which lowers the system power consumption and yields greater
reliability.
Advanced Production Technology
An SMT assembly process is
used in manufacturing the
3m.
All components are soldered by computerized control soldering machines to
achieve the highest quality soldering possible.
Totally Sealed Enclosure
The enclosure of the
3m
is completely sealed to protect the electronic circuitry against the hazards of
a typical shop environment, such as dust, evaporated coolant, fumes, etc. To
avoid overheating of the PCB caused by the totally sealed enclosure, a metal
front plate and panel is utilized to quickly dissipate generated heat.
Non Linear Error Compensation
In an application where a
very high degree of accuracy is required, such as grinding machines, boring
machines, etc. it is very costly and also very difficult to achieve the required
micron grade accuracy. The 3m
offers a very cost effective way to improve the display accuracy by utilizing
non-linear error compensation. The non-linear error compensation function of the
3m
is very similar to the non-linear error compensation that is commonly found in
CNC machine controllers.
Glass Scale Kits
At DRO PROS, we only sell true five bearing
scales with our glass scale kits, and with over 70 different size scales to
choose from, we fit your machine right! For .0002" resolution scales up to
39.3" in capacity (models 100mm - 1000mm), the scales are included in the
price of the kit and there is no surcharge. Simply tell us what size scale
you'd like and we'll send the correct length scale. For scales greater than
39" capacity (our oversize scales), there is a small surcharge based on
length when purchased with a kit.
Why does DRO PROS
post their digital readout part prices online when other companies don't?
That's because if you
were to find out what other companies are going to charge you for parts
when you need them, you
might not buy their digital readout kit in the first place!
At
DRO PROS, we're proud to show off our low part prices.
Go DRO PROS!
Why should you buy from
DRO PROS?
We speak
English - We answer our phones - Same day shipping
Veteran
owned, Veteran managed - and proud of it!
Our goal is to
make customers for life. We feel that, in the long run, treating
customers right will yield much more than simply "going for the
sale". In accordance with that, we have attempted to pass on some
ideas to help you, the customer, in completing your purchase
decision:
Price.
Probably the most talked about factor when buying a
digital readout.
Price can also be the most misleading, and perhaps worst way, to
judge a digital readout kit. We've all heard the old adage, "You get
what you pay for." Before the internet, it was true, price did
generally correlate directly to value. But that was yesterdays
economy. All resellers obtained their goods the same way, and
therefore incurred the same costs. In today's economy, the market
has changed drastically. At DRO PROS, we import and sell directly to
you. Unlike our competitors, we do not have Western and Eastern
sales divisions and multi layers of management to support. One
location, one cost, and the savings get passed on to you!
Intuitiveness or "Ease of Use".
Probably the
most important, and hardest to determine factor when buying a
readout.
Think in terms of after the sale. Even if you get an absolute 'rock
star' bottom line price that would make William Shatner proud, if
the
digital readout
is not user friendly, you still didn't get a 'deal'. The whole point
of getting a
digital readout
is to make your work easier and more enjoyable. If the
digital readout is poorly designed, too complicated, if the display
isn't bright enough, or in other words is 'user unfriendly', you'll
regret your purchase decision every time you turn it
on. It simply won't matter what you paid, it's not worth
it!
Support.
Most likely the second most important, and perhaps most overlooked
factor when buying a
digital readout.
Imagine trying to reach a technician when you've bought a
digital readout
from an overseas reseller! Yet every day, people "save" $50 and buy
products on eBay without stopping to think what will happen when
they need service or tech support. Some
digital readout
resellers don't even publish a phone number! While our competitors
continue to pare down or even totally eliminate their customer
support, we continue to expand our Customer Service. Our Video
Tutorials are the best in the industry, and are available free for
you, our customers. Our tech help is the best in the business - our
techs all know our readouts inside and out. Nobody knows digital readouts like
DRO PROS!
Warranty.
DRO PROS is proud to offer the industries safest, longest, 6 year
warranty on all of our Electronica magnetic scale kits. All of our
DRO PROS brand glass scale kits
come with a full 3 year warranty, and our EASSON kits come standard
with a 1 year warranty.
DRO PROS brand warranty claims are handled directly
by DRO PROS. No run-arounds, no hassle! Something not working as
expected? Call us, don't get redirected overseas like the other
guys!
Parts.
Can
you believe some resellers don't carry parts? That's right, buy from
the "other guys", break a scale, and you get to replace the entire
digital readout
kit! Don't assume you can just go buy a different brand scale,
either, because most manufacturers use different connectors on their
scales. If that wasn't enough, even among those with a common
connector, such as a DB9, most are hard wired differently. Finally,
don't overlook the cost of parts. At DRO PROS, an
800mm replacement scale will cost you $197. A similar scale sold
extensively by a European company will cost nearly $700! Finally, we
have a massive inventory of parts, so rest easy - a replacement part
is only a phone call away!
The Best
Value.
We literally search world-wide for the best value
digital readout
products on the planet. If there was a better
digital readout
package to be sold, we would be selling it. Yes, we've seen cheaper
units on eBay, but there is a reason they're cheaper. Think poor
quality, no parts, no manual, non-existent customer service, poor
product fit/finish etc.
Customer
Service.
We pledge to
never "over sell" you on a product that won't work well for you. Our
philosophy is to try and save you money and get the best value kit
tailored to the machinery you have. Many of our customers are
surprised when we recommend against buying a more expensive brand.
Again, our philosophy is to build customers for life. Give us a call
and let us save you money!
Shipping.
Most orders
ship the same day, the next at the latest. We do not 'drop' ship, we
have our own massive warehouse of inventory right here on site. We
use UPS, you'll get a tracking number emailed to you immediately,
and we cover all shipping insurance automatically.
The
Company.
DRO PROS is a
veteran owned, American company. We enjoy selling quality products
at competitive prices. We believe that providing the best
customer service is the key to success. No other company spends more
time on the phone with customers than we do. Even in a down economy,
our company continues to thrive and grow. We look forward to earning
your business!
