Sony LH51SJ-1236 2-axis Dro System 36x12 Inch Led

Product Description

The SONY LH51SJ-1236 is a 2-axis digital readout (DRO) system designed for precision measurement on machine tools such as milling machines, lathes, and surface grinders. It provides a resolution of 0.0002 inches, giving machinists and toolroom technicians accurate positional feedback during cutting and finishing operations. The LED display measures 2 inches and presents axis position data in a clear, readable format. With an X-axis travel of 36 inches and a Y-axis travel of 12 inches, this unit covers a broad range of workpiece dimensions. It ships as a single unit and is suited for both shop floor production and toolroom environments where reliable dimensional control is required.

This DRO system is intended for use on manual machine tools in industrial, manufacturing, and trade shop environments. It is a common retrofit or replacement solution on knee mills, bed mills, and similar equipment where operators need real-time positional data without relying on manual graduated dials. The 36-inch X-axis and 12-inch Y-axis travel lengths make it well suited for mid-size machine tool tables. Installation is typically performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with linear scale mounting and signal wiring.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or retrofit DRO system for 2-axis manual machine tools requiring linear scale measurement with LED display output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Power down all machine tool circuits before mounting linear scales or connecting signal cables. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for scale bracket placement to ensure proper alignment and accurate readings. Refer to applicable shop electrical codes when routing low-voltage signal wiring near machine drives or motors.
