Introduction
Milltronics, a company with over 40 years of experience in the CNC machine industry, offers a range of innovative CNC machines and controls designed for both production and toolroom environments. The 8200-B CNC control is a standout product, known for its high-speed processing and user-friendly features.
High-Speed CNC Control
The 8200-B CNC control is PC-based, providing advanced processing speeds essential for high-speed and multi-axis machining. It supports G & M Code programs, macro programming, and conversational programming, making it accessible for new programmers. The "Mill Away" function allows mid-program offset adjustments, beneficial for 3D contouring in mold making.
User Interface and Graphics
The control features a state-of-the-art user interface with wireframe and solid model graphic modes for tool path and port verification. The "Fast Verify" feature allows operators to run programs at 100 times speed, providing a preview of tool paths before execution.
File Management and Networking
File management is enhanced with USB and Ethernet networking capabilities. The control is MTConnect compliant, facilitating easy communication of shop floor production data, including operating state, job numbers, part count, and more.
Performance and Control Features
With a processing speed of 2000 blocks per second, the 8200-B CNC can optimize motion control performance for specific applications. It offers selectable cutting modes (G187, G188, G189) to optimize tool path and feed rates, reducing cycle time. Additional features include a 12" LCD display, conversational and G & M code programming, auto DXF file import, and high torque AC digital servo drives.
Probing Cycles
The control includes probing macros for measuring bores, surfaces, webs, and slots, which can automatically update work offsets and detect broken tools, enhancing accuracy and efficiency.
