1.1 MILLPWR
G2
The ACU-RITE MILLPWR
G2
control is a workshop-oriented contouring
control that enables you to program conventional machining
operations right at the machine in an easy-to-use conversational
programming language. It is designed for milling and drilling machine
tools, with up to 3 axes.
MILLPWR
G2
was developed to satisfy the wants and needs of tool
and die makers and other machinists where manual and automated
operation are both useful and needed. MILLPWR
G2
will enable you to
maximize your throughput by significantly reducing set-up time, scrap,
and other non-productive operations, thereby increasing your
efficiency, productivity and profitability.
The MILLPWR
G2
has many powerful features that will improve your
productivity. The screen layout is clearly arranged in such a way that
the functions are easy to access, fast and user friendly.
MILLPWR
G2
is a closed-looped system with positioning feedback
provided by ACU-RITE precision glass scales (1µm/0.00005"
resolution). MILLPWR
G2
also includes Position-Trac™, an advanced,
unique feature that enables you to easily, quickly and accurately
re-establish work piece zero after shutting down, or power loss.
ACU-RITE conversational and G-code format
The ACU-RITE conversational programming format is a method of
writing programs; g-code (ISO) programming can be used and run.
Basic editing of g-code programs is also possible. Preview graphics in
the editor illustrate the individual machining steps for programming
the contour as well as the corresponding tool path generated. A
production drawing does not need to be dimensioned for NC
programming, the MILLPWR
G2
can be programmed using the
dimensions directly from the production drawing. The programming
format is the same as used in previous MILLPWR products. Always
verify old programs before machining with MILLPWR
G2
.
