Mitsubishi Electric demonstrates the state of the art of numerical control

In the latest version of Mecspe, Mitsubishi Electricamong the many proposals presented on his platform, showed his types of M8V CNC series.

These numerical controls represent the evolution of CNC technology Industry 4.0 opticsbecause they have it Built-in Wi-Fi and are developed to support targeted strategies digital transformation and activate the program smart manufacturing.

Thanks to the direct connection to WLAN networks, the M8V series is the link between the machine and the IIoT-Industrial Internet of Things environment aimed at “smart” production based on data.

Thanks to the original design, which guarantees protection against network interruptions, users can operate and monitor CNC machine tools with certainty and safety, anywhere and anytime, through connected devices, such as tablets.

Accuracy and speed

The latest numerical control M8V great deal accuracy and speed. The combination of a dedicated RISC-64 bit CPU, OMR-CC-Optimum Machine Response-Contour Control and automatic cutting load control (Cutting Load Control) helps companies reduce processing time, benefiting from high precision.

These features allow you to create high-quality products, reduce cycle times by at least 11% compared to previous models, also reduce path errors by 15%, manage to process blocks of up to 540 kg per minute.

The M8V series finds applications in all sectors, from automobiles to medical to aerospace. It represents the best solution for any type of machine, from the simplest to the most complex, for example, transfers, multi-tools and all machines that require high precision and high-speed processing on 5 interlaced axes, such as those in the mold industry.

The M8V series also includes performance specifically designed to meet the needs of new markets, such as laser processing machines, a rapidly growing industry. For this reason, functions such as cutting on the fly have been added, which allows you to synchronize the laser source with the movement of the axes, reducing cycle times.

Ease of application

Another distinctive feature of this range of CNC controls is ease of use. The interactive panel interface supports 4-point multitouch gestures, giving the user a smartphone-like experience. Thanks to the intuitive design, users can easily control and monitor important process parameters.

The programming And simplified and streamlined thanks to the wizard Job Lathe which guides users through installation and configuration. Therefore, the interaction with the controller is very easy, even for workers without G-code skills.

Moreover, it is big screen of the 19″ display, which was added in the M8V series to the already existing 8.4″, 10.4″ and 15″, improves visibility and makes the design of the operator panel more flexible.

I CNC M8Vlike all number controls for M8 series from Mitsubishi Electricalso provides DRC-Automatic Robot Control Performancewhich allows machine tool operators to quickly program robots directly from the CNC panel, without special skills.

Ease of use, configuration and connection is a distinctive feature of this performance developed by the Japanese multinational, as well as the possibility of keeping the logic of the machine unchanged. Connect the robot to the CNC machine with a simple Ethernet cable and connect emergency cables to instantly enable system-wide management functionality.

Use of robot in the world of machine tools it allows simpler operations and higher production rates, therefore greater competition and increased profits. Adoption of work Automatic Robot Control allows you to further increase these benefits by adding new ones.

First of all, it prefers one reduce costs, since integration can be done without changes at the equipment level and it is no longer necessary to buy a separate robot control unit. Moreover, it makes it possible to create custom management screens e robot recognition and show them on the CNC display, as well make changes to the bot’s functionality programming in G code through CNC in a simple and intuitive way.
