Intuitive Yet Powerful: Milltronics 9000 Series Control

"Milltronics is constantly refining its integrated control to simplify operation, shorten set-up times and provide features that reduce cycle times," said a company spokesperson.

The 9000 Series control features an Intel Dual Core i5 64-bit processor, 120 GB disk storage, 4 GB memory, up to 10x better graphic performance and a 15" LCD touchscreen. The Windows-based platform offers all the user-friendly features that Milltronics customers are used to, such as the G-code visualization screen.

"With easy programming, on-screen help, intuitive menus, color graphics and prompted tool settings, the Milltronics 9000 Series control helps new operators train faster and become more productive sooner. More advanced operators appreciate the following features that allow quick and confident operation of the CNC," said the spokesperson. These include:

• Solid model graphics allow operators to see a completed part prior to cutting. "Unlike some other controls, Milltronics intertwines its graphics with the motion system so the operator sees exactly what the machine is going to do-not just a picture of the part," said the spokesperson.
• Handwheel run allows the operator to run a program in a controlled mode where motion only occurs while the handwheel is turning-allowing the operator to verify programs with total control and complete confidence.
• Mid-program restart allows the operator to start anywhere in a program by verifying the graphics and then switching to Run Mode-no need for G&M code expertise.
• Milltronics utilizes a complex "Feed Forward" error correction algorithm that reduces inaccuracy caused by corner rounding and following error without compromising speed and also includes true S curve acceleration and jerk correction-essential ingredients for high speed machining, the company reported.
• The Chip Boss productivity feature of the Milltronics 9000 control uses proprietary algorithms to calculate toolpaths and control the maximum allowable cutter engagement, resulting in faster cycle times, better tool life and more accurate parts, according to the company. It uses trochoidal milling strategies with deeper depths of cut and smaller step overs and includes "Rest Roughing"-saving even more time because Chip Boss automatically calculates the areas to be machined and uses a smaller cutter to get just those areas that cannot be cut with a larger tool.
• Milltronics Shop View (MSV) is a productivity feature that allows users to access machine status and collect usage and diagnostic data per Industry 4.0. MSV can be accessed with a PC, tablet or smartphone.
• The Bi-Directional Conversational Turning Cycle improves productivity by up to 60%, increases tool life, improves surface finish and improves turning speed and efficiency while taking advantage of the latest insert technology.
