DROs designed to maximise productivity
Acu-Rite will be demonstrating its family of ergonomically designed digital read outs along with MILLPWR, its two and half axis control system at the EMO show.
The system is designed and manufactured to replicate, as close as possible, the Milacron 700/750 Series operating systems.
It also adds new capabilities that far surpass those of the older controls, said MRSE.
Capabilities include the following.
* A high speed, multi-tasking controller.
* Integrated motion control.
* A color touch screen operator interface.
* An intelligent motor control.
The result, said MRSE, is a control platform that is easy to install, easy to operate, and easy to maintain.
The systems powerful hardware, combined with MRSE's custom grinding software, produces a state-of-the-art grinder control package.
MRSE told manufacturingtalk that the operator interface is simple and training for most first-time operators takes only a few minutes.
The aim is to minimise non-productive cycle time through the control's quick set-up capabilities and features that allow grinding cycles to be optimised to save seconds in ID and OD applications.
MRSE can retrofit this control 'in the field' or incorporate it into the complete remanufacture of Heald grinding machines.
