ND780

Multi-axis Display

 

The ND 780 display unit is especially suited for use on milling, drilling and boring machines and lathes with up to three axes. A separate I/O unit provides switching input/outputs for simple tasks in automation.

Design

The ND 780 display unit is designed as a sturdy upright unit with splash-proof full travel keypad for use in a workshop. It is equipped with a monochrome flat screen for position values, dialog and input displays, graphic functions and graphic positioning support.

Functions

The ND 780 display unit is characterised by its plain language dialog guidance. The distance-to-go display facilitates positioning. You approach the next position quickly and reliably by simply traversing to the display value zero. The functions for each application are easily activated by parameter input. Special functions are available for producing hole patterns (linear patterns and circular patterns). Datums can be determined quickly and accurately with a KT edge finder. The ND 780 readout supports you with special probing functions.

You can easily switch between radius and diameter display when the position display is configured for turning. The readout also offers support for lathes with separate top slide: The sum display feature allows you to display the saddle and top slides together or separately. To set a datum, touch the workpiece and freeze the tool position. Then retract and measure the workpiece.

Data Interfaces

The ND 780 has an RS-232-C/V.24 serial interface for measured value transfer to a PC or printer, for input/output of parameters and compensation value lists, and for diagnostics.
