• New Integrated Operator Console/Amplifier for Machine Tool OEMs and Retrofit Applications
  The 900 CNC combined operator console and matched 4 or 6-axis integrated amplifier/controller is specifically designed to meet next generation CNC control requirements. Delta Tau Data Systems Inc. , the newest member of its CNC control family. "We designed the 900 to leverage the capabilities...
• When PCs Control Machines
  Motherboard or motion card: This is one of the fundamental decisions for specifying CNC on a personal computer platform. The Thermwood router installed at Huck Store Fixture Co., Carson City, Nev., now runs under the direction of a CamSoft Corp. CNC system. Based on motion card and PC hardware...
• One controller does it all
  Bundling CNC and PlC functions simplifies machine control. For more than 40 years, CNCs have been synonymous with high-precision machine tools. And the prime goal of CNCs has been ensuring the cutting head precisely follows a programmed toolpath. On the other hand, there is also an increasing...
• Pinpointing board bugs
  Improved inspection keeps fixable PCBs off the scrap pile. Techno-Isel CNC gantries have 0.0005-in. resolution and repeatability, and 0.003-in./ft absolute accuracy, key metrics for tracking traces on densely packed PCBs. Gantries are built on steel stress-relieved bases with hardened-steel linear...
• Rack and Pinion System Cuts Servo Requirements for Gantry in Half
  . SYN-APS, a provider of machine tool services for a range of conventional and CNC equipment, used a motion control system from Nexen Group Inc., Vadnais Heights, Minn., to facilitate the long length of required travel along the machine's common X-axis. Rack and Pinion System Cuts Servo Requirements...
• Manufacturers Sharpen Their Web-Based Tools
  and selecting an item, potential buyers can check out features and accessories on a range of products, including this Yang ENC1650 Electronic Lathe Plus combination CNC/manual lathe. Manufacturers have discovered the Web, and the rush is on to use this technology to boost business and gain the competitive...
• NC router shapes ice art
  they make sculptures as varied and ambitious as a 12 15-ft map of the world, a working Ferris wheel featured in , and corporate logos for business meetings. The marriage of a CNC router and CAD/CAM software lets the team quickly cut intricate sculptures and sell them for about the price of a floral...
• Correcting errors that never happen
  controller was typically a CNC device responsible for closing the proportional-gain (P) loop and, if used, the steady-state or integral gain ( I ) loop. A tachometer (tach) or speed loop was used in lieu of a derivative-gain (D) function. The closed position and speed loops configured by this type...
