Movement and Control Components

Numerical Control

The CNC used is the latest version of Sinumerik 840 D (digital) from SIEMENS. It incorporates the PLC and all the Software needed for the Machine control.

This software includes a “transformation algorithm” that converts the “Cartesian” coordinates – used in standard programming- to the “Tricept” format.

For manual or programming operations, the control board of the machine uses the standard key-buttons “X Y Z” typical of any orthogonal Machine-Tool.

Positioning System Servo drives

The Servo drives used on all the axes are A.C. digital motors. They offer excellent dynamic features even at the lowest speeds to achieve smooth movements during the most demanding working conditions.

The positioning loop in all the axes is composed by digital encoders for rotary axes and Linear scales for “Tricept- Wrist” length positioning. The high quality of these components guarantees the excellent accuracy and repeatability of the module.

Electrical Cabinet

The machine incorporates a modern, compact and extremely reliable electric hardware. It offers extremely easy maintenance an the fastest possible interchangeability of any of its components.

Optionally the machine can be fitted with “Remote-diagnosis” for the faster location of any faulty component.

As a standard, the cabinet is built with a large air conditioned system which offers the components a long, trouble free working life.
