Easy To Learn Simple To Operate:
  1. Offers consistent part quality and increased productivity.

  2. Reduces programming time and unwanted scrap.

  3. Affordable yet highly reliable.

  4. Choice of operating methods.

  5. Expandable to 4 Axis.

  6. Use with most manufacturers' mills.
STANDARD SYSTEM:
Motor controller, motor and connecting cable (requires separate mounting hardware installation kit)


Pendant (featuring Teach Mode) and pendant holster.


Programmable Mode software (includes RS-232C cable and 25-pin adaptor)


Emergency stop switch.

HARDWARE ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS:

Add on drive systems - Configurable for up to four axis;


Avaliable for table, cross, plus knee and quill axes.


Expanded pendant memory.


Digital readout interface kit.

Lets you use linerar scales for more accurate positioning: requires linear scale modes that generate square wave signals (.005 or .01 mm resolution)

Reduces effect of backlash errors in the lead screws.


Servo Operator Console


Factory-hardened PC control system


Features swing arm mounting bracket


10" diameter rotary table


For vertical or horizontal installion


Feed rates: 4 to 1,000 degrees per minute


Rapid rate: 3,800 degrees per minute


Operates through the pendant in Teach / Playback modes And through the PC in programmable and CNC modes


Low-Level I/O interface and M-code mode


Allows control over machine functions and accessory devices that send and receive signals to and from the maching; includes spindle on/off, cooland on/off, indesers, and automatic clamping fixtures.

HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS:
Microprocessor control


Jog mode: .0005" to .05" increments


Virtually instantaneous direction changes


Feed range: .2 to 50 ipm (5 pitch lead screw)


Feed rate override: 0 to 150%

OPERATING METHOD-TEACH MODE:
Teach point-to-point and angular part moves


Machine one-of-a-kind or production run parts


Move the table using pendant or handwheels


Teach a program or subroutine


Set or move the program start point (SP)


Single step through a program or subroutine


Call a subroutine


Change the feed rate of a program step


Change, add or insert a program step


Delete a program step from memeory


Delete a subroutine call


Delete a program from pendant memory


Set and clear axis travel limits


Drag axis travel limits (e.g., reset limit beyond current position)


Playback a program held in the pendants memory (up to 4)


Built-in eror diagnostics


OPERATING METHOD-PROGRAMMABLE MODE:
Transfer programs in the pendant to the PC or Servo Operation Console for storage, editing and printing


Program point-to-point and angular moves directly on the PC


Convert programs in the pendant to common CNC codes


Write and edit programs on the PC; transfer them later to the pendant


Display status of axes motors and control them form the PC


Store up to five machine configurations
