The new one-/two-/three-axis Anilam Wizard 411 digital readout (DRO) system announced by measurement and control specialist ACI (UK) has been developed as an entry-level DRO yet with powerful functionality combined with substantial technical service back-up and three-year warranty reassurances that belie its low-cost price tag. As a result, says ACI (UK) managing director, Phil Goulding, “the Wizard 411 is incomparable with any other DRO available anywhere in the global low-cost DRO marketplace”.
In addition to standard functionality embracing tool offsets, sub datums, linear patterns (row, frame, array), PCD calculations (full and partial) and vectoring, the ultra-reliable all diecast-constructed Wizard 411 sets itself apart from other systems courtesy of LCD screen (the only DRO available using this technology) plus sealed membrane keypad and powerful canned functions for incline, arc, rectangular frame and rectangular pocket routines. Complemented by ENC 125 precision glass scales that boast a resolution of five microns and an accuracy rating of 10 microns/m, the Wizard 411’s ease of set-up and use is also signified by the fact that the system will be shopped with a two-page quick reference set-up guide rather than a handbook. Phil Goulding adds: “By introducing such a powerful yet affordable system, ACI (UK) is competing head-on with all the lower cost DRO alternatives. We are confident that the Wizard 411’s capabilities complement our 40-year pedigree of DRO expertise and considerable support guarantees will far outstrip any potential advantages users may think obtainable with other systems.”
