An advanced CNC programming system enhances and simplifies functionality and incorporates a new operation panel designed to make operation both quicker and easier.
Mori Seiki announces the release of MAPPS II (Mori Seiki Advanced Programming Production System), a breakthrough in machine controls.
Designed around the needs of machine operators, the new system enhances and simplifies functionality and offers an increased level of user-friendliness.
MAPPS II's industrially-hardened design withstands the vibration and contaminants present in machining.
As a result of rigorous testing and by avoiding the use of moving parts, MAPPS II provides unparalleled reliability.
To ensure that MAPPS II would be capable of offering users an improved programming experience, Mori Seiki began by updating the system's hardware.
Memory has been increased from 32MB to 256MB, of which 50MB is available for program storage.
The new control also features a 15in flat panel display on certain machine models.
MAPPS II incorporates a new operation panel designed to make operation both quicker and easier.
Three-dimensional cutting simulations have been added to MAPPS II.
This new functionality allows the user to view a display of tool paths, line-by-line through the program.
The number of key inputs required has been dramatically reduced, helping to minimize the amount of job set-up time required.
Among the many improvements, the system is capable of automatically computing radius endpoints, greatly lessening the amount of calculation done by the operator.
Safety was also taken into consideration when designing MAPPS II.
The system has an interlock function after reset to prevent inadvertent operations.
A wear offset input limitation avoids interference resulting from input mistakes.
Mori Seiki produces extremely reliable machine tools and distributes worldwide.
The U.S.
headquarters is in Dallas with offices in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
