2.1 TURNPWR
The ACU-RITE
®
TURNPWR control is a workshop-oriented turning
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 turning machine tools,
with 2 axes and controlled spindle.
The control was developed to satisfy the wants and needs of
lathe machinists where manual and automated operation are both
useful and needed. The control 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 control 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.
The control is a closed-loop system with positioning feedback
provided by compatible feedback devices. When fitted with
the (optional) ACU-RITE
®
precision glass scales (1um/0.00005"
resolution), the control 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.
Conversational and G-code format
The ACU-RITE
®
conversational programming format is a user-
friendly method of writing part programs, however g-code (ISO)
programming can also be used. 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 control can be
programmed using the dimensions directly from the production
drawing. The programming format is the same as used in the
popular MILLPWR
G2
product line.
