MITUTOYO 174-185A 3-Axis Digital Readout Counter

Improve Machining Productivity with Mitutoyo KA-Counters. A leading Japanese brand, Mitutoyo is a pioneer in manufacturing measuring & inspection tools. The company products have enhanced the productivity of various industrial machining cycles for decades. The KA-200 series of Digital Readout Counters from Mitutoyo is designed to reduce positioning time and bring in greater accuracy, repeatability. The 174-Standard Type Digital Readouts make use of linear scales mounted to the cross-slide and carriage axis of the lathe for accurate positioning. This eliminates reading lines on vernier dials, counting hand wheel revolutions, and lead screw backlash compensation. Features like direct diameter reading greatly reduce mathematics, calculations, and scrap due to operator error. This directly translates to lesser time gets wasted in checking and measuring and more time in the cutting process. If not for a digital readout counter on a lathe, you will be experiencing all these and thus lose machining productivity. As a result, you can improve your machining productivity by up to 40 percent with KA-200 Counters on lathes/milling machines. KA-200 Counters from Mitutoyo is a durable digital readout counter that can withstand harsh machining conditions, offers high tolerance to shock and vibration, has no mechanical wear characteristics, and requires no cleaning or maintenance. Low-cost measuring & inspection solutions are now possible with Mitutoyo's KA-200 Counters. Standard Accessories in the KA-200 Counter Unit include Power cable, Ground lead, Dust cover, Alternate button labels for lathe mode, Connector cap (Dsub-15), User's manual & Warranty card.

Benefits

• Stop-check-measure steps are all but eliminated.
• Productivity improvement of 20-40% typically reported using DRO on lathes.
• Stores data points for 10 tools, eliminating the need to re-zero after the tool change.
• Outputs data into spreadsheets (optional USB card).
• Built-in calculator function.
• The larger screen size will allow operators to read the position of each axis easily from a distance.
• Withstand dust, dirt, oil, and other harsh environmental conditions.

Applications

• Suitable for thread pitch measurements - view angled workpiece without blurred or distorted images.
• Specifically designed for Profile projectors, Milling machines & Lathes.
• Can be used for manual machines such as drilling machine, grinding machine, EDM, linear cutting machines, etc.
• When used on a lathe machine, you can easily scale up the number coming from scale and double it so that it helps you read true diameter.

Features
