Allied Machine and Engineering has released the 3ETech+ digital readout module — an enhanced 3ETech digital readout module that is compatible with current Wohlhaupter 3ETech boring tools.
The new 3ETech+ provides improved diameter adjustment accuracy of one micron, making it ideal for users who need to hold precision hole tolerances. High-production environments such as aerospace, heavy equipment and automotive are said to benefit from the enhanced digital readout module to be used on Wohlhaupter digital boring tools, including VarioBore versatile boring head, 420 (410) series boring heads, 465 (464) series balanced boring heads, 538 (537) fine boring cassettes, custom boring solutions and the ES-Bore series of fine-boring laydown cartridges.
According to the company, having an external, removable digital module eliminates the worry of costly digital tooling components being harmed by cutting chips or high-pressure coolant. The features of 3ETech+ include enhanced visibility with backlit OLED display and larger screen; easier charging capabilities with rechargeable battery via USB-C; multiple display color options for optimal visibility in any environment; a screen auto-rotate function to match orientation of display module; a toggle between imperial and metric adjustment to accommodate all applications.
Frank Wohlhaupter, managing partner at Wohlhaupter, says that the 3ETech+ is “the most modern digital readout for daily use in every manufacturing shop — no matter if it is a small job shop or a large component manufacturer.”
