1.1 ND 1200R Overview
The ND 1200R is an advanced digital readout (DRO) system for radial
drilling machines using analog or TTL encoders. The system allows the
operator to directly enter either cartesian or polar coordinates for
target positions. This alleviates the requirement of either pre-drilling
holes or a previous operation of marking out the holes on an expensive
machine elsewhere. The system defaults to cartesian coordinates
when entering target positions and polar coordinates when navigating
to a target.
The following functions are available in the ND 1200R:
 Reference mark evaluations for distance-coded and single reference
encoders
 Linear error correction
 Multilingual LCD user interface: language is selected by the user
 Soft key functions under LCD change to support different user
activities
 Arrow keys for easy navigation of lists and menus
 Skew compensation for part alignment, eliminating the need for
time-consuming fixturing
 Absolute and incremental targeting
 Axis zero for establishing a datum
 Number keypad with:
 Number keys for data entry
 Decimal point and +/- keys for data entry and LCD screen contrast
adjustment
 User-defined hot keys that program panel and optional remote keys
to initiate commonly used functions.
 User-defined programs to save target sequences
 Direct entry of cartesian or polar target coordinates
 User-defined drilling patterns for:
 Frame pattern
 Rectangular pattern
 Line pattern
 Circle pattern
 Speaker jack outputs for quiet or noisy environments
 Optional remote foot switch and keypad facilitate measurement
when the user is not close to the front panel
