Sony BBC65 Backer Bar Dro Accessory

Product Description

The SONY BBC65 is a backer bar accessory designed for use with digital readout (DRO) systems. Backer bars provide a stable mounting surface or reinforcement point for DRO scale installation, helping to secure linear encoders and scale assemblies to machine surfaces. This component supports accurate positioning setups and is handled and installed by machinists, CNC technicians, and precision measurement specialists. The BBC65 weighs 2 pounds and ships in a single-unit package.

Backer bars are used in machine tool environments where DRO scales must be mounted securely to lathes, milling machines, grinders, or similar equipment. Proper backing ensures the scale remains rigid and aligned during operation, which is critical for maintaining measurement accuracy. This accessory is appropriate for shops running retrofit DRO installations or replacing worn mounting hardware on existing setups.
