Sony Option 16 2-axis Milling Dro System Led Display

Product Description

The SONY OPTION 16 is a 2-axis digital readout (DRO) system designed for milling machine applications. It delivers precise positional feedback through an LED display, allowing machinists and shop technicians to monitor cutting positions in real time. The system uses a 16-inch scale length and achieves a resolution of 0.0002 inches, with an accuracy rating of 10 micrometers. This level of precision is well-suited to production and toolroom milling operations where close tolerances are required. The unit ships as a single package and is installed by qualified machine tool technicians or skilled trades professionals familiar with CNC and manual mill setups.

The OPTION 16 is intended for use on milling machines requiring a 2-axis DRO solution. The 16-inch scale length accommodates standard knee mill and bed mill table travel dimensions common in light industrial and job shop environments. The LED display provides high visibility in typical shop lighting conditions. This system is appropriate for both manual mills being retrofitted with digital readout capability and replacement DRO installations on existing setups where the original unit has failed or requires upgrading.

Key Features

• 2-axis positional readout covers X and Y mill table travel
• 16-inch scale length suits standard milling machine table sizes
• 0.0002-inch resolution supports close-tolerance machining work
• 10-micrometer accuracy rating for reliable positional feedback
• LED display type offers clear, direct readout in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style DRO replacement or retrofit for milling machines requiring a 2-axis digital readout system with a 16-inch scale.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machine tool technician or experienced trades professional. The milling machine must be fully powered down and isolated from electrical supply before mounting scales or connecting display wiring. Scale alignment is critical to accuracy and should be verified with a dial indicator during installation. Follow all applicable shop safety and electrical codes when routing signal cables near motor or drive components.
