Mitutoyo 174-183A KA-200 2-axis Digital Readout Counter

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 174-183A is the KA-200 2-axis digital readout (DRO) counter designed for machine tool position monitoring on lathes and milling machines. This unit displays axis position data on a bright LED readout and includes a built-in calculator function for on-the-fly measurement math without reaching for a separate device. The counter operates on 120 volts and measures 10.24 inches wide, 3.15 inches deep, and 6.57 inches tall, making it a compact panel-mount or bench-mount display for typical machine tool setups. It is intended for use by machinists, toolroom technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel working with non-linear scale inputs.

The 174-183A suits light industrial and precision machining environments where two-axis position readout is required. Compatible machine types include engine lathes and vertical or horizontal milling machines equipped with compatible non-linear scales. The LED display provides clear position readout in workshop lighting conditions. The unit weighs approximately 4 pounds, making bench repositioning straightforward during machine setup or changeover.

Key Features

• 2-axis position readout for simultaneous X and Y or X and Z monitoring
• Built-in calculator function for direct measurement computation at the machine
• LED display for high-visibility readout in typical shop lighting
• Non-linear scale type compatibility for broader encoder support
• Compact enclosure at 10.24 inches wide x 3.15 inches deep x 6.57 inches tall
• Operates across 0 to 40 degrees C ambient temperature range

Compatibility

Designed for use with lathe and milling machine applications using non-linear scale inputs, as specified by the manufacturer for this counter model.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified machine tool technician or industrial electrician. Power down the machine and disconnect the supply before connecting scale cables or mounting the counter enclosure. The unit operates at 120 volts AC — confirm supply voltage and grounding comply with applicable NEC requirements before energizing. Do not connect or disconnect scale inputs while the counter is powered.
