    Machine DRO with OUTPUT that reads inductive linear encoder HELP!

    Hello.

    I am really hoping someone on here will be able to help me out with this…

    I am currently running Acurite DRO's (Digital Readout) that read Newall inductive linear encoder scales. The Acurite DRO displays the current height, user inputs a height, then once the set height is reached the DRO outputs 120v.

    These Acurite DRO's have been discontinued and we are no longer able to get repair parts for them.

    I need a replacement DRO that that has an ouput.

    I have been able to find output DRO's BUT they only work with glass (optical) and magnetic scales. I am unable to use these.

    120v isn't necessary any type of ouput will do.

    I just need to read inductive scales, input a number, and have an ouput once it is reached.

    Here is the scale I am using..

    http://newall.com/products/?name=SHG...tid=18&prid=30

    Does anyone know of a DRO that will do this?

    Or point me in the right direction to someone that may make a custom display for me?


    Appreciate your time!

    I was in a similar position a while back, I needed a replacement Acurite that had position output in serial format, I must have been the only person that used this option as It was impossible to find a replacement, I eventually found one on ebay.
    BTW, there is a Acurite TurnVision on ebay right now, I don't know if it would fit your purpose.
