Scalable performance and flexible options to span a wide range of CNC applications

The 9/Series CNC product family offers a broad choice of motion systems ranging from one to twelve axes. These high performance CNCs provde solutions for a variety of traditional CNC machining applications including turning and machining centers, lathes, profilers, and grinding machines. In addition, the unique requirements of machines like gear cutters and grinders, transfer lines, routers, water jet cutters, flame cutters and dual process turning or machining centers are also suported. Machine control is simplifed with system packages customized for different applications that provide:

Machining Center	Turning Center
Cylindrical Milling	Virtual C-Axis milling
Solid-Tapping	Solid-Tapping
Drilling, pocket, and post milling cycles	Roughing, finishing, and threading cycles
	Synchronized spindles

Grinding Center	Transfer Line
Reciprocation generator	Graphic setup of motion profile
In-process dresser control	Drill, bore, tap, transfer, cross-feed cycles
Wheel offset management	Adaptive depth
Angled wheel transformations	Feed to hard stop
Surface or cylindrical cycles	Adaptive feed control

Dual-Process Lathe / Mill / Transfer Line
Interference checking
Process Synchronization
Shared axes
Split screen display
Synchronized spindles

Family Values

The 9/Series CNC product family allows users to customize their control by selecting the processor, operator front panel, servo interface, software features, I/O, and communication capabilities to best fit their machine. This selection of common hardware allows users to standardize on components, which will reduce their integration costs and their spare-parts investment. A common user interface and control operation will minimize their training and maintenance costs. Our family allows them to take advantage of common 9/Series features such as:

Part Programming
User interface
High-resolution absolute feedback devices
Control operation
Servo interface
Fiber optic ring for distributed I/O
PC-based integration tools
I/O components
Remote I/O connectivity

Flexible Servo Interface

The 9/Series family of processors offers a wide range of servo interfaces. In addition to supporting traditional analog interfaces, the servo system provides a SERCOS™ interface as well as an integrated drive package. We offer three types of servo interfaces that are configured using a single PC-based configuration tool:

Analog	1394 Digital
Traditional industry standard	Easy "Slide-n-lock" axis module interconnect
Wide range of available systems	Improved servo diagnostics
	Modular footprint
	Compact packaging for reduced panel space
	Linear motor support
SERCOS Compatible
IEC standard 1491 compatibility
Selectable 2 or 4 MHz ring data rate
Multi-vendor environment
Enhanced diagnostics and messaging
Up to 8 axes per ring

Advanced Technology

The need for even greater product reliability has led to new CNC designs which embrace the latest 32-bit microprocessors, DSP and flash memory technology. Human interface designs have been enhanced with TFT active matrix flat panel technology as well a personal computer display technology. Our state-of-the- art ISO 9000 certified, highly automated, SMT manufacturing facilities assure high quality, reliable 9/Series products.
