Ditron DC11 optical ruler

Optical Scale Ditron DC11 — Professional Linear Displacement Converter

The Ditron DC11 optical scale is a professional linear displacement converter designed for upgrading lathes, milling, and boring machines.

Installing the DC11 together with a digital readout (DRO) system allows you to:

• Increase machining accuracy up to 0.001 mm.

• Eliminate the effect of backlash in screw pairs.

• Ensure stable repeatability of dimensions.

• Significantly speed up the operator’s workflow.

This model is ideal for machines requiring maximum positioning accuracy — toolroom lathes, coordinate boring machines, and precision milling machines.

🔑 Key Advantages of DC11

• Resolution 1 μm — perfect for high-precision operations.

• IP55 protection — housing is resistant to dust, chips, and coolant.

• Smooth travel — reading head with 5 bearings ensures stable signal.

• Reliability — long service life under intensive loads.

• Complete set — scale, aluminum cover, armored cable, mounting kit.

⚙️ Technical Applications

• High-precision lathes (e.g., 16K20, 1K62).

• Coordinate boring machines.

• Toolroom milling centers.

• Any equipment requiring micron-level accuracy.

✅ Why Buy from ASU

• Official Ditron supplier in Ukraine.

• Professional selection of scales for specific machines.

• Warranty and service support.

• Fast replacement if needed.
