Functions
Data in/output of workpiece program files
Workpiece program files can include several main and subprograms and further corresponding tool data. Moreover, workpiece data, R-parameter and zero offsets can be exported and imported.
Contour processor with graphic simulation
The contours the workpieces should have after the machining process are illustrated by graphics in the programming process.
Editor
In order to ease the operation and the programming the control is equipped with an editor with helping cycles and pictures.
Intermediate memory storage
Data that are stored in the intermediate memory storage can be renewed in the programming process.
Dry run
In the run-up to the machining process collisions and programming mistakes can be avoided and corrected by using the dry run.
Automatic measuring of position offsets
When scratching the measured workpiece the position offsets will be taken over.
Automatic measuring of tools
When scratching the reference workpiece the workpieces offsets will be taken over.
Diagnostics
Alarms, signals, versions and customer information are displayed by the diagnostics.
Context sensitive help
By pressing the help buttun, the manual is opened at the approriate page and displayed on the screen.
Licenses
Homeschooling license
Extension of the multiple license. Any number of distance students can also install the programming stations off-site. The license is valid for 5 years and thus covers more than one teaching cycle.
Multiple license
For external NC programming of NC controlled machine tools. It may be installed within an institute registered by the licenser in an unlimited number on PC workstations respectively in a network.
Options/Accessories
Easy2control
“Easy2control” adds a range of attractive applications to the successful interchangeable control system used in EMCO training machines.
Suitable for use in machines and simulation workplaces alike, it displays additional control elements directly on the screen and, when used together with a touchscreen monitor, provides the ideal input interface.
With support for a wide range of keyboard variants, customer-specific screen layouts and tailored solutions for individual customers, Easy2control represents a promising and highly flexible extension to the modular EMCO training concept.
The interchangeable controls are represented using an on-screen keyboard, which makes switching between different control systems even easier and quicker.
In the DEMO version of WinNC, Easy2control can be activated without a license key during the installation process or afterwards using the EMConfig configuration tool.
Robotic
The Robotic-Interface is used for connecting a concept-machine to a FMS-/CIM-system.
The main-functions of a concept-machine can be automated via inputs and outputs of an optional hardware-module.
DNC
The DNC-Interface (Distributed Numerical Control) allowes a remote control of the control software (WinNC) via a software-protocol.
The DNC interface creates a connection between a superordinate computer (production master computer, FMS-computer, DNC-host computer etc.) and the control computer of an NC machine.
After activation of the DNC operation the DNC computer (Master) takes over the control of the NC machine (Client).
The entire production control is completely assumed by the DNC computer.
The automation devices such as doors, clamping chuck (collet), sleeve, coolant etc. can be controlled by the DNC computer.
The actual status of the NC machine is displayed on the DNC computer.
Easy2operate
Portable Machine Operating panel to operate the machine via hardware, includes axis buttons, feed override switch, mode switch etc. together with EMCO Easy2control.
EMCO CAMConcept
CAMConcept is innovative software for complete CAD/CAM and CNC training, from design to manufacture.
CAMConcept incorporates both the functions of a professional CAD/CAM system and the advantages of a special training program. All core CAD program functions are available. Graphic displays of CNC cycles allow quick programming, while simulations and collision checks ensure that control programming is safe.
EMCO Win3D-View
Win3D-View is a 3D simulation for turning and milling and is available as an option in addition to the WinNC Control. Graphic simulations of CNC controls are designed especially for industrial experience. Win3D-View displays exceed industry standards. Tools, blanks, clamping devices, and work processes are highly realistic. The system checks the programmed travel of the tool to prevent collision with clamping devices and blanks.
Concept machines
Whether for small businesses or for professional CNC training the Concept machines can be applied flexibly. With its modular concept the machine series can be used in a productional CIM network as well as for training purposes equipped with training softwares and coursewares.
