Advantage 400 Basic Computer Control for Electron Beam Welding Equipment: Feature Sheet

Index of Feature Descriptions: EBW Computer Control
 
Multi-Axis CNC Controller Technical Parameters
  • 8.4” TFT Color Display with 640 x 480 Resolution
  • Back Panel Includes All Connectors for Complete Machine Interface
  • Standard CNC Keyboard (Alphanumeric and Numeric) with F1 to F10 Function Keys for Machine Management, such as Software, Modes, Programs, and Machine Axis Control
  • Flat Color Display Shows the Different NC Screens
  • Cycle Start, Feed Hold, and Reset Buttons Control Program Start/Stop/Reset Functions
  • A Feedrate Override has Range Between 0 and 120%. In Automatic Mode, Axis Speeds can be Varied from 0 to 120% of the Programmed Speed
  • A Hand Wheel, in Manual Mode, Moves the Axes Manually. In this Case, the Feedrate Override Button is Divided into Four Quadrants to Select the Unit of Axis Movement (0.001, 0.01, 0.1 or 0.2 Millimeters, per Hand Wheel Increment)
  • In Manual Mode, the Axes can have Varied Jog Speeds from 0 to 100% of the Maximum Speed Defined in Machine Setting Page
  • USB Connector Connects any USB Device such as a Mouse or Keyboard
