VUE Readout Systems
The ACU-RITE VUE is an up-to-three-axis device mainly used as position display unit for simple infeed and positioning tasks, such as on grinding machines, drilling and boring machines, press brakes, crosscut saws, for positioning on rotary tables, etc. The clear and unambiguous display of the current position value on the large, clearly structured LCD screen makes working with the VUE easy and reliable.
The position display unit has a robust housing and a membrane keyboard.

300S Readout Systems
The 300S is equipped with a 5.7” LCD monitor that replaces the cathode-ray monitor of the VRO300. The “soft keys” are used for diverse functions, mainly for operation and parameterization. The monitor is the same one currently used in the 200S series. In addition, the 300S is capable of all the functions of a programmable counter, such as the creation, editing, storing and running of programs. Numerous programs with differing names can be saved in the program list.

SENC 150
The SENC 150 from ACU-RITE is the ideal scale for all applications.
The compact and robust design, and the numerous possibilities for mounting, make it ideal for retrofitting. The slight dimensions and high accuracies of this ball-bearing guided encoder, which uses the reflected light method, are ideal prerequisites for use in metrology applications.
- Robust design
- Resolutions from 0.5 µm to 5 µm
- Output signals: TTL
- Measuring lengths from 75 mm to 3075 mm
- Distance-coded reference marks
