Holemaking and finishing cutting tools manufacturer Allied Machine and Engineering is highlighting the Wohlhaupter 3ETECH+ digital readout module. Ideal for mold builders looking to make diameter adjustments right at the machine, the 3ETECH+ digital readout module provides its users with ease of use; 1 µm diameter adjustments ensures high visibility for precision boring.
Moldmaking with tight-tolerance diameter in high-production environments are applications in which the 3ETECH+ is said to excel. A single 3ETECH+ display unit can be used on any number of compatible Wohlhaupter boring tools including VarioBore versatile boring heads, 420 (410) series boring heads, 465 (464) series balanced boring heads, 538 (537) fine boring cassettes, custom boring solutions and the ES-Bore series of fine boring laydown cartridges.
The digital module’s enhancements include:
- Enhanced visibility with backlit OLED display and a larger screen.
- Easier charging capabilities with rechargeable battery via USB-C.
- Multiple display color options for optimal visibility in any environment.
- Screen auto-rotate function to match the orientation of display module.
- The ability to toggle between imperial and metric adjustment to accommodate all applications.
Having an external, removable digital module also eliminates the worry of costly digital tooling components being harmed by cutting chips or high-pressure coolant.
