MMitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. introduces the M800 and M80 controllers in the M8 Series CNC platform.
Vernon Hills, Ill., - May 23, 2016
Addressing the need for a fast, precise and affordable CNC system for complex machining applications, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. introduces the M800 and M80 controllers in the M8 Series CNC platform. The platform consists of Windows-based and panel mounted CNC controllers and a new drive and motor lineup with built-in safety features. The M8 Series control platform is designed to address the need for a fast, precise, and affordable computerized numerical control (CNC) system for complex machining applications.
The M800 is a high-grade CNC designed for high-speed, high-accuracy machining and multi-axis, multi-part system control, and features the industry's fastest CNC, while the M80 provides high productivity and easy operability. The M800 series offers the 19" capacitive touch screens with icon-based navigation for easy, intuitive, smartphone-like operation.
Key features of the M800/M80 Series platform include:
- CNC-dedicated CPU designed for high throughput and complex machining applications
- USB & SD card expansion to easily store and execute large complex machining programs
- Larger capacity touch screen for easy and intuitive operation
- Servo and spindle amplifiers that meet EN ISO13849-1:2008 (PLd, Cat 3) and EN62061:2005 (SIL Class 2) safety specifications
- Enterprise connectivity to provide OEE information
"The M8 Series features a CNC-dedicated CPU, which substantially increases the processing speed of the controller for high-speed, high-precision machining," said Scott Strache, CNC product manager, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. "This results in reduced cycle times, netting more quality parts in a work shift."
The new MDS-E/EJ/EM servo and spindle drives that accompany the new controller platform have their own dedicated processors. The servo system provides ultra-smooth rotation and excellent acceleration/deceleration capabilities that are optimized for precision machine tool applications. The drive system has built–in safety features, reducing the amount of wiring that is required. Motor encoder resolutions have increased to 1, 4, or 67 million pulses per revolution options.
