Allied Machine and Engineering showcases the Wohlhaupter 3ETech+ digital readout (DRO) module, which is said to provide improved diameter adjustment accuracy of 1 µm on Wohlhaupter digital boring tools, optimizing holding precision hole tolerances on expensive parts. High-production environments such as aerospace, heavy equipment and automotive can benefit from the enhanced DRO module, which can be used on various Wohlhaupter boring tools including VarioBore versatile boring heads, 420 (410) series boring heads, 465 (464) balanced boring heads, 538 (537) fine boring cassettes, custom boring solutions and the ES-Bore series of fine-boring lay-down cartridges.
As many machine shops move away from vernier dial (analog) adjustment to DRO modules, having an external, removable digital module can eliminate the worry of costly digital tooling components being harmed by cutting chips or high-pressure coolant.
According to the company, Wohlhaupter’s precision technology has aided in improving boring operations, and the following enhancements of the 3ETech+ can add to the benefits for machine shops:
- Enhanced visibility with backlit OLED display and larger screen
- Simplified charging capabilities with rechargeable battery via USB-C
- Multiple display color options for optimal visibility in any environment
- Screen auto-rotate function to match the orientation of display module
- Toggle between imperial and metric adjustment to accommodate all applications.
