Machines so equipped are programmed for both standard operation and tracer control. A key lock switch on the operator's console activates the profiling cycle. This option is not available on machines equipped with servo drives. The use of a PLC unit also allows auto indexing or other workholding fixtures to be easily incorporated into the auto cycles. We can also arrange for the design and construction of automatic parts loading systems.
Full documentation is provided with each machine or retrofit.
We also offer our retrofit package to customers who already have HyPowermatic series machines and want them updated. Machines that are shipped to our facility can also have their mechanical systems evaluated, ways reground, etc. Any major repairs would be discussed with the customer. For customers with mechanically sound 200 Series machines who want their machine retrofitted without the downtime and expense of shipping the unit to our facility, on-site installations of our PLC packages are available. Completed electrical panel, operator's console and wiring harnesses will be shipped to the customer's plant.
