Makino has introduced the fully equipped Professional 6 (Pro6) control designed to move operators fluidly through machine set-up, empower them with accessible information and protect them with enhanced safety.
The Pro6 accelerates productivity for machine shops and tool, die and mold makers with streamlined screen layouts, operator guidance and latest machine functions.
"The new Professional 6 control gets you from parts to profits with enhanced functionality by making the point where the operator meets the machine, a seamless transition," said Jim Brown, Systems and Control Engineering Manager at Makino. "Cycle-time savings and dynamic-control capabilities have been added to the new control's Geometric Intelligence functions to help lower costs per part."
Familiar functionality has been maintained from the previous Pro5 control while simplifying the human-machine interface (HMI) with an advanced touchscreen layout. Screen customization, code and parameter search, guidance functions and other machine information are now available at the operator's fingertips.
With a blend of FANUC hardware and Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 OS, the Pro6 provides:
Pro6 is an advanced set of control technologies engineered to remove time and energy in production. Makino reduced the number of hard buttons, replacing them with touchscreen commands that resemble controls on an Internet Web browser. The recently developed "My Panel" features enable operators to store frequently used functions, macros or switches for quick access.
The Pro6 control has a new QWERTY keyboard and larger 15" display. Also added is an interactive status bar at the top of the screen. By touching a warning, alarm or indicator status icon, the user is taken directly to the related screen displaying information about the issue.
Like its predecessor, the Pro5, Makino's Pro6 control is customizable. Added to the Pro6 is on-screen programming guidance for drilling canned cycles, probing, automatic tool length measurement (ATLM) and tilted working plane. The operator follows prompts and selects "input" to automatically insert lines of code into a program.
Pro6 has a converter to find parameter numbers based on the Pro5 number and automatically converts measurements from inches to millimeters.
"New functions raise the standard for machine control, including its Geometric Intelligence (GI) that provides 2-D corner control, optimized canned cycle indexing, micro-reverse filtering and vibration suppression," said a company spokesperson. Pro6 also has simultaneous program editing, MDI recall of the past 20 inputs and 3 GB of memory for program and subprogram storage, with an option to expand to 20 GB.
The Pro 6 control is currently only available on select models. Contact Makino to inquire about specific availability on different machine models or on new machine factory orders.
