Description
Sherline Z-Axis DRO Handwheel Package (Metric)
Enhances lathe DRO with Z-axis capability
Includes handwheel, encoder, and thrust collar
Facilitates precise Z-axis measurement
Reassigns leadscrew axis for standard setup
Ideal for expanding to vertical milling
The Sherline Z-Axis DRO Handwheel Package (Metric) is designed to enhance the functionality of a lathe equipped with a 2-axis DRO by adding a Z-axis readout capability to a vertical milling column. This package includes a Z-axis handwheel, an encoder unit, and a thrust collar, which collectively facilitate precise measurement and control of the Z-axis movement on the milling column.
This package is particularly beneficial for users who have previously acquired a 2-axis lathe DRO and wish to expand their setup to include vertical milling operations. By integrating this package, the lathe's leadscrew axis, previously designated as the Z-axis, is reassigned to the Y-axis input, while the milling column assumes the role of the new Z-axis. This configuration aligns with standard machining practices, where the spindle's axis is typically referred to as the Z-axis, irrespective of its movement direction.
