Function
The user interface VM25-HMI can be easily integrated by the
user into a user application program, or activated as an inde-
pendent task that can be used immediately.
Thanks to a complete programming interface based on an
Active X library, the program can interact with the devices and
the operator for managing the following functions:
•
Balancing the grinding wheel in 1 or 2 planes, made possible
by high-precision balancing heads without torque effect
(patented), to achieve the best possible quality.
•
Using acoustic, hydrophone and power sensors:
- Determining the grinding wheel contact to optimize the
machining and finishing cycles
- Recording of the normal cutting characteristic patterns to
monitor and signal process irregularities
•
Absolute and comparative in-process measurement of the
workpiece, with immediate correction feedback signal to the
CNC/PLC for diameters, lengths and current positions, as well
as for roundness deviations (patented), to avoid missing parts
and to secure consistent production quality
•
FFT analysis to monitor machine vibration and diagnose faulty
components
•
Data collection referred to measurements, internal and
external events – with subsequent transfer of this data to other
suitable media for process analysis
•
Network connection to a remote PC, in the master or slave
mode, via teleservice
■
Integration
The VM25 system can be used for the following CNC:
•
SINUMERIK 840D sl
with SINUMERIK PCU 50.5 Windows 7
