Heidenhain: Digital Readout for Manual Operated Machine Tools (ND 5023)

– The convenient digital readout for milling, drilling, boring machines, and lathes

The ND 5023 digital readout is suited for use on manual milling, drilling and boring machines as well as lathes with up to three axes. Due to the TTL encoder input, the linear encoders LS 328 C and LS 628 C are primarily used for a measuring step of 5 μm.

Design

The ND 5023 has been conceived for harsh workshop conditions. It features a sturdy aluminum housing and a splash-proof membrane keyboard. With its clearly organized and user-friendly user interface, operation of the ND 5023 is very simple. The 7-inch TFT color monitor displays all the information you need to machine your workpieces. The symmetrical design of the ND 5023 ensures ergonomic operation. All key elements are easily accessible, regardless of the mounting location, and the screen is always easy to read.

Functions

The ND 5023 offers many useful functions for machining with manually operated machine tools. You can access the most important functions quickly and directly via function keys. Soft keys with languagesensitive information in plain language provide context-sensitive operation. The distance-to-go display facilitates positioning tasks. It enables you to approach the next position quickly and reliably by simply moving until the display reads zero.
Of course the ND 5023 also offers special functions for milling and turning operations, such as:
• Hole patterns (linear, circular) • Radius/diameter switching • Sum display for the top slide
You can individually configure the display of the ND 5023 and save your settings in the user management.

Data interface

A USB interface enables the digital readout to transfer measured values and import or export parameters and tables to a storage medium or a PC.

Dynamic zoom

The currently moving axis can be graphically highlighted. In "dynamic zoom" mode, the position value is zoomed to its maximum size depending on the number of digits. This greatly improves legibility— especially from a great distance.

Installation guide

When you switch on the digital readout for the first time, the ND 5023 supports you with an installation guide. You are led step by step through the most important settings until the device is ready for operation.

Day/night switching

Depending on the ambient-light conditions at the machine, you can switch the screen of the ND 5023 to a light or dark background.
