Shooting Star
Technology has been providing
electronics and mechanical services to
the aerospace, medical, and computer
research fields since 1989.
We have our own manufacturing facility
as well as a fully equipped electronics
lab and offer a
5-year
warranty.
Our customer list includes Boeing,
NASA, M.I.T., and the
Mayo Clinic.

The BT-2 is a 2-axis unit (X
and Y)
The BT-3 is a 3-axis unit
(X,Y and Z).
The system includes scales
with all mounting hardware, all cables and the
digital display unit.
Both BT-2 and BT-3 work by
counting the revolutions of a precision pinion
on a rack with an optical encoder.
This allows the scales to be
shortened by the end user with a hacksaw since
it is just a matter of cutting the metal rack.
The scale is nominally 0.75 inch in diameter
over the cover and the readout head is 1.85 x
1.6 x 2.6 inches. |

Here
are the answers to the questions we are most
frequently asked about CBX. If the answer you
seek isn't here, just
e-mail
us and we will provide the information you
want.
- How does the
CBX work?
- The CBX works by counting the
revolutions of a precision pinion on a rack
with an optical encoder.
- A rack and
pinion? How much backlash is there?
- There is NO backlash with the CBX!
The gear is mounted on a small leaf spring,
and it is constantly in mesh with the rack.
- Is there any
wear in the rack/encoder?
- The spring that presses the gear into
the teeth of the rack is applying a very
slight pressure, not enough to amount to any
wear.
- Will it fit my
machine?
- Chances are that it will. Shooting Star
Technology has never found a mill or
lathe that the CBX won't fit on. (We also
offer a 30 day money back guarantee, so
there would be no problem to return if it
didn't fit)
- Can I cut the
scales to make them fit my machine?
- Yes. The rack can easily be cut with a
hacksaw to fit your machine.
- How do I
protect the scale from chips and coolant?
- The CBX comes with 1/2" wire loom
(black, plastic tubing) over the racks. We
also suggest you shield it with angle
aluminum, or iron, etc. This will protect
the scale from any damage from dropping
something heavy on it.
- Who makes your
precision racks and pinions?
- We do. Shooting Star Technology uses a
custom built CNC machine to cut the racks.
The pinions are cut on a #3 Fellows fine
pitch gear shaper.
- What is the
accuracy of the CBX?
- The accuracy of the CBX is 0.002 / foot.
(Worst case scenario)
- What is the
resolution of the CBX?
- The resolution of the CBX is 0.0005.
(1/2 thou)
- What is the
repeatability?
- The repeatability of the CBX is 0.0005.
(1/2 thou)
- I'm just a
beginner machinist, what if I need help
installing CBX?
- The CBX Digital Display unit includes a
manual with mounting considerations, and
diagrams. It also shows you step by step how
to use all of the features of the unit.
However, if you are unsure of mounting, or
have any other questions, Sartell offers
installation for an additional cost.
- What if I
damage my CBX?
- Shooting Star Technology keeps a stock
of all parts of the CBX, and we will courier
out a replacement for your damaged part
usually the same day! There is no waiting
for a lengthy factory evaluation, we realize
that once you get used to your CBX, you
don't want to be without it!
- What kind of
warranty does the CBX have?
- The CBX has a 5 year warranty, and a 60
day money back guarantee.
- What else does
Shooting Star Technology do?
- In addition to the CBX Digital Display,
Shooting Star Technology provides custom
measuring solutions for aerospace, medical,
and computer graphics industries. Since the CBX Digital Readout came alive in 1996, it
has been our main focus
