Acu-Rite Solutions: IBT 400 Interface Box for Four encoder Inputs #1345048-01
Acu-Rite droPWR Encoder Interface Box, IBT400, 1-4 Axes, Bluetooth

.
The Acu-Rite IBT400 is used in conjunction with an iPad equipped with the droPWR app. The IBT400 will accept 1 to 4 axis scales.
This part number corresponds to the Acu-Rite droPWR Encoder Interface Box (IBT400), manufactured under the HEIDENHAIN corporate umbrella. This hardware box reads physical machine tool scales and transmits the position data wirelessly via Bluetooth to an iPad or tablet operating the digital readout (DRO) application.

⚙️ Component Breakdown

Part ID (1345048-01): The official HEIDENHAIN / Acu-Rite ordering part number.

IBT400: The product series designation for the Bluetooth transmitter hardware.

4X: Indicates this specific box supports up to 4 axes of encoder inputs.

TTL: Specifies that the box accepts standard TTL (square wave) digital encoder signals.

0/+45: The rated operating temperature range of 0°C to +45°C (32°F to 113°F).

🛠️ Common Applications

Press Release:

"This new droPWR is a first-of-its-kind system to enable an iPad® tablet to become a digital readout (DRO), doing everything an ACU-RITE DRO can except without cables between tablet and machine tool! The droPWR will first be shown at IMTS 2022 in Chicago on September 12-17.

Bluetooth technology along with an IBT interface box in the droPWR system allows connection to multiple machine configurations in one tablet including for milling, turning, and grinding machines with up to six axes. Designed to be simple and functional, this tablet DRO can be moved and used with various machines, making it perfect for many production environments such as small shops and students in shop class.

The new droPWR takes manual machining to the next level by combining the familiar intuitive user experience from the traditional ACU-RITE DROs with modern touch screen conventions. The new droPWR system includes the new software, an IBT interface box suitable for the machine tool and relevant encoders/brackets if needed. A tablet with iOS 15 or greater is required. And with its simple on-boarding configuration set up, a user can quickly establish connection to its intended machine(s)."
