All Electronica Kits include magnetic scales:
Note the "hash marks" on the readhead and scale. When installing the scale, make sure the readhead and scale "hash marks" are both installed on the same 'side' or the display might 'flicker'.

Magnetic scale technology combines the best of optical and inductive technology. Just like inductive or "ball scales", magnetic scales are impervious to coolant or liquid, yet are slimmer, and cost half as much! They're easier to mount, more durable, and on par pricewise with optical scales. In summary, magnetic scales combine all the advantages of the other technologies, without retaining the negative qualities of being higher priced, or difficult to install, that inductive or "ball scales" suffer from.
If that wasn't enough, the Electronica bracket kits are the best we've ever seen. Unlike the competitors bracket kits, Electronica brackets are individually machined for accuracy, not cast. Our "Library" page includes a complete parts list and exploded assembly diagram - in short, no more missing parts or time consuming "how does this bracket fit together" sessions!
In summary, the Electronica Magnetic Scale Digital Readout kit is a revolutionary change to digital readouts as you know them! With the industries lowest profile reader head, this is a game changer!
Magnetic scales: Do not contain glass - much more durable than any other type scale. Are coolant and dust proof - have a full IP-67 rating, meaning they can't get contaminated like glass scales. Can be easily cut to the length you need - no more "hanging off" the end of the cross slide - custom fit to your application! Easy to mount - the scale is surface mounted directly to the table, not offset like other brands require!
Resolution: Mill kits come standard with 5 micron (0.0002") resolution magnetic scales
The Electronica Mill packages include everything you need - a display head, mounting arm, power cord, detailed installation manual, a super detailed operators manual, shields, mounting hardware, brackets, etc. Additionally, all Electronica displays have a USB port on the back, ensuring it won't become obsolete when a new software update is released.
Stop paying our competitors outrageous prices! Outfit your machine today with magnetic scales at a DRO PROS price!

Digital Readout Features:
Electronica Digital Readout Basic and Special Functions Explained:
Inch/Metric Display - Allows the operator to choose between inch and metric display. Resolution is .0002" or .005mm. Axis "Quick-Zero" Keys - Unique to the 400 series displays, these 'one-touch' keys enable the user to quickly zero the selected axis. Axis Set - Allows operator to manually input desired dimension / coordinate. Fine / Coarse Resolution - Turns off the last decimal digit (coarse resolution) in which fine resolution is excessive. Half Function - Automatically calculates the center of the workpiece after the edges are located. Distance to Go - Provides a 'Near Zero Warning' to the operator as the machine nears a preset point. Center of Circle - Allows the user to find the center of a circle after 'touching' 3 points on the circle. Center of Line - Allows the user to find the center of a line after locating the end points. ABS/INC Coordinate Display Switch - Allows the operator to switch between absolute and incremental display. 'Absolute' display references the work piece zero coordinate you designate. You may choose the absolute center point of your workpiece or perhaps a corner of your workpiece, the decision is yours. Incremental display references any arbitrary coordinate/position without losing your designated zero point. For example, to locate a point exactly in the middle of your workpiece you would most likely use 'absolute' display to locate the point. To locate points exactly .78 distant from an arbitrary point somewhere in the middle of your workpiece, you would then switch to 'incremental' display, designate the present position as a zero point, and then simply move your workpiece until .78 was displayed. Calculator - The display includes a built in calculator function which provides normal mathematical functions such as: add, subtract, multiply, divide, sin, cosine, tangent, etc. Sub Datum Memory - Allows the user to store up to 1,000 reference points. This greatly simplifies machining of repetitive parts. Power Off Memory - This function allows the operator 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 points can be recovered without having to reestablish the work piece zero point. Bolt Hole Circle - Allows the operator to drill a circular pattern of holes from a designated center point. Bolt Hole Arc - Allows the operator to drill a pattern of holes in a semi-circle or arc from a designated center point. Line Hole Function - Allows the operator to drill a straight line of holes along any desired angle. Grid Function - Allows the operator to drill a grid of holes along any desired angle. Linear Bolt Hole Function - Similar to Line Hole Function, allows the operator to create an equally spaced pattern of holes. Arc Contouring Function - Enables the user to make an arc or bevel cut along the edge or top of a workpiece. Radius / Diameter - When measuring radii or diameter, enables the operator to display twice the real displacement. Tool Offset - Unique to lathe displays only, automatically compensates coordinate system for tool length and diameter. Allows 9 presets. Taper Function - Unique to lathe displays only, automatically calculates the taper of a workpiece. Polar Coordinates - Allows user to measure distance in a polar coordinate measuring system. Easy Setup Mode - Enables access to special functions, such as swapping or 'reversing' the direction a scale reads. Axis Summing - Unique to 4 axis displays only, allows the 'coupling' or 'summing' of any two axis to read as one. Vectoring Function - Unique to 3 axis lathe displays only, allows the 'coupling' or 'summing' of Z and Z' to read as one. Pre-Set Depth (PSD) - Unique to EDM displays only, used to control a relay at a pre-set depth setting. Touch Probe Input - Unique to 400 displays only, allows a 'touch' or 'contact probe' to be connected to the display. Especially useful for determining center points of circles. Linear Error Compensation - Used to 'calibrate' the scales, Linear Error Compensation provides improved display accuracy. Electronica's method of inputting LEC correction is the simplest we've ever seen. Other brands have you calculate multiple complex "correction factors" that slowly correct you towards your desired calibration. Literally, this 'old' way of calibration can take hours, even days. Electronica's method is to simply measure a predetermined distance, and then enter that distance into the display - the 'correction factor' is automatically calculated and applied in the background - simple, easy and best of all, fast! USB Port - Common to all Electronica displays, a USB port allows easy software updates, ensuring your DRO won't become obsolete!

Benefits of Magnetic Scales
There are currently three different scale types available for digital readout systems. They are magnetic, glass, and inductive. Glass scales rely upon an optical encoder and receiver mounted inside of an aluminum extrusion. If the scale becomes contaminated by coolant, oil or dust, they are rendered useless. Inductive scales are impervious to contamination. The disadvantages are they're bulky, expensive, and difficult to mount. Magnetic scales combine the best of optical and inductive technology. Magnetic scales are impervious to coolant, liquid or dust, yet are slimmer than either of the other two technologies. They're easier to mount, more durable, and can be broken down into convenient lengths for shipping. The first thing customers notice with magnetic scales is that the readhead and the scale are completely separate components. This means mounting magnetic scales is easier than any other type scale - since the readhead mounts separately from the scale, mounting is much quicker, and a whole lot easier! Prior to Electronica, magnetic scales were prohibitively expensive. Today, they are on par pricewise with optical scales. In summary, magnetic scales hold all the advantages of the other technologies, without retaining the negative qualities of being higher priced or difficult to install that inductive scales suffer from.
