The ES-12C has been completely redesigned and is the latest from Easson. The Color LCD display is extremely easy to read, and the screen has over a dozen different built in, user selectable color schemes. It graphically shows the function you've programmed in real time, meaning it draws exactly what you programmed, and can see the cut before you cut it! Resolution is industry standard 5 microns (.0002"). The enclosure is sealed to protect the electronic circuitry from dust, fluids or fumes. Basic and special functions are accessed via the front tactile keypad. Kits include everything you need - a display head, power supply, mounting arm, power cord, operators manual, standard length scales of your choice, shields, mounting hardware, a handy collet holder, brackets, etc. Kit prices includes scale sizes up to 1000mm at no extra charge.

Chris' Tips

Chris' Tips
You have to tell us which scales you need. This is always based on your machine’s travel.

Here is how to measure your machine’s travel: With the machine off, position the machine to one end of its travel. With a grease pencil, make a mark across where the moving and stationary surfaces meet. The line should be half on the moving part and half on the stationary part. Next, move your machine to the opposite end of its travel, and then simply measure the distance between the marks.

Now, add ¾" to the distance you measured and convert it to mm by multiplying by 25.4. (Or, measure the distance in mm, and add 20 mm.) Round up to the next even 50 mm and that’s the scale you need.

Let’s look at an example:

Measured distance	5.63"	143 mm
Add ¾" (20 mm) margin	0.75"	20 mm
Required scale travel	6.38"	163 mm
Convert to mm	162 mm
Next scale size	200 mm	200 mm

Now repeat this procedure for the other axes on your machine.

Here are the scales needed for a couple machines:
LMS HiTorque Mini Mill: X=350, Y=150, Z=300
LMS HiTorque Bench Mill: X=450, Y=200, Z=350
Most Mini Mills: X=300, Y=150, Z=250

Scale-Based DRO Packages are designed to mount on any machine within the range of the scales. They all come with 'universal' mounting brackets. These mounting brackets are probably all you need to mount the DRO on large machines. On smaller machines (including mini lathes and mini mills) you will probably need to make some mounting brackets. Note that the Bluetooth DRO packages, except the universal models, come with all the brackets required for the machines they support. All scale-based DRO installations require drilling and tapping a number of holes in the machine.

The biggest challenge is usually the cross slide on small lathes and the X-axis on small mills. On small lathes, the answer is sometimes to mount the DRO scale hanging in space behind the cross slide. On small mills, the smaller cross section of the Shooting Star and the DRO Pros magnetic scales can make it significantly easier to mount the X-axis scale behind the table without restricting the table travel. Glass scales are a challenge to mount on small machines.

Features

This DRO kit features the following:
Clear Zero: Sets the current position to zero. Allows you to specify any desired point as the "0" reference point.
Inch/Metric Display: Allows you to choose between inch and metric display.
Direct Entry: Allows you to manually input the desired dimension and coordinate.
Result Transfer: A point value computed from the calculator feature can be entered and found.
ABS/INC (Absolute/Incremental): Allows the operator to switch between absolute and incremental display. Absolute display references the work piece zero coordinate you define. Incremental display references any arbitrary coordinate/position without losing your designated zero point.
Center Find Function: Automatically calculates the center of the work piece after the edges are located.
199 Reference or Sub Datum Memory (SDM) Points: Ideal for repetitive machining, lets you create exact copies of your original work piece. Enter points as you move to them on your work piece or enter them in a list format.
Power Off Memory (Reference Datum Memory): Allows you to store the work piece zero position in memory. If the machine is turned off at night or there is a power failure, the zero reference point can be recovered without having to re-establish the work piece zero point.
Linear Hole Tool Positioning: Provides a linear hole positioning function for drilling holes a fixed distance apart, at any angle.
Incline Tool Position: Allows you to accurately position the work piece at an angle on the work table. Also allows an incline function for machining parts positioned on an inclined surface.
Bolt Hole Circle (aka PCD or Pitch Circle Diameter): Using the bolt hole circle function, you can drill holes in a circle from a designated center point.
Arc Machining: Allows you to make radius and arc cuts.
Calculator: Built-in calculator function, which provides mathematical and trigonometric functions such as: add, subtract, multiply, divide, sine, cosine, tangent, square root, etc.
Parameters Setup: Enables you to reverse the direction a scale reads, also allows the operator to perform a memory check.
