Universal CNC path control for flexible applications
The universal multiprocessor path control system is suitable for milling, turning, grinding, and positioning, and therefore offers a flexible solution for a wide range of applications. The continuously developed control generation of the F / D / S series expands the product portfolio of Engelhardt GmbH in the low-cost segment and combines a compact design with high functionality. In addition, the system consistently relies on miniaturization and a high level of component integration, which makes it compact, convenient, and at the same time cost-effective.
Compact design and robust operation
The complete CNC control is housed in a 19-inch wide enclosure with a depth of only 100 mm, making it suitable both for initial equipment and for retrofitting conventional machine tools. At the same time, the IP54 protection rating ensures that the large control keyboard and the graphic LCD display operate reliably even in harsh workshop environments. In addition, the system integrates an electronic handwheel with an adjustable handwheel factor as well as a potentiometer for regulating programmed feed rates directly in the front panel, which significantly simplifies operation.
Software functions and interfaces
Users have different software versions for milling, turning, grinding, and positioning available, so the control can be flexibly adapted. These versions include standard linear and circular interpolation as well as tool management with compensation, parametric programming, and main spindle control. In addition, the system offers 16 I/O channels and two V.24 interfaces for data exchange, while additional connections for keyboard and VGA monitor enable flexible integration. As a result, the control can be installed up to 10 meters away from the control panel.
Precision through multiprocessor technology
Depending on the application, machining cycles such as contour turning or pocket milling are also available. Programming is carried out according to DIN 66025 using G and M functions and is simultaneously supported by graphical display on the screen. Thanks to the multiprocessor design, the system achieves short position controller cycle times of 200 µs, ensuring precise path control and accurate positioning. The F / D / S versions also feature outputs for servo motors, thereby providing a powerful and precise control solution.
