USER INTERFACE PA HMI Every PA CNC is equipped with the standard PA HMI. The PA HMI is an open, browser-based human machine interface and allows you to add your own design and own functions. In order to that you can seperate from other machine tool builders and offer your customers exactly the interface they need for operating your machines the best way. Other software applications can also be added to the PA CNCs by using the proven TCP/IP interface.

PA COMPILE CYCLES & PA SOFT PLC The PA Compile-Cycles are made to let you integrate your spe- cific know-how - which is more and more important to protect yourself against others and also to separate from others. Also you are more flexible to improve your machine-tool by adding your own functions like e.g. special transformations or com- pensations. With PA Compile-Cycles you do not have to wait for the integration of new CNC functionality, you choose the right point of time by yourself. On the today's fast changing markets and the special requirements of today's customers you can gain significant...

SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS BASIC FUNCTIONS AXIS FUNCTIONS HAND WHEEL FUNCTION | Up to three hand wheels can be connected to the PA CNC controls. Each hand wheel can be assigned to a certain axis. The assignment is specified in the machine parameters. PARALLEL AXES FUNCTION | In certain applications there are parallel moved axes. If mechanically coupled axes refer to Gantry Axes. Parallel axes, which are mechanically not coupled but shall be moved synchronously, can be programmed (also temporarily) to move parallel (synchronous) with the leading master axis. The axes can also be programmed for independent...

SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS DISTANCE CODED MEASURING SYSTEMS | Some machines can have linear axes which are not orthogonal to each other. These so called angled wheel axes can be used according to special technological needs. Usually angled wheel axes machines are difficult to be programmed by using standard NC-coding. The Angled-Wheel function allows to program such machines in the same manner as usual machines with orthogonal Cartesian axes. Up to three angled wheels are possible. The orientation of the tool can be made by the programming of the round axes or the tool direction vector. In addition to...
