Fabrication

Using a YCI-Supermax 5,400RPM mill computer controlled by ACU-RITE.  MILLPWR has the ability to run G-code files from CAD/CAM programs for Full 3-D Contouring with 3-axes control/3axes readout.  With MILLPWR we can also translate DXF files directly into program code for our milling operation.

MILLPWR will enable us to:  

• Set up jobs faster
• Perform plastic and metal milling
• Create, and then save, part programs
• Prevent math errors
• Minimize scrap
• Improve each part's accuracy and repeatability

Hardware Features

MILLPWR is a complete, 3-axes control/3-axes readout system with advanced hardware features:

Software Features Keypad Layout Main Function Keys Switch from absolute to incremental (or vice versa) in the DRO display and milling function numeric fields. Manipulate your part graphic. Display the digital readout Display the program screen. Exit from a milling function. Add a step to your program once you've completed an entry form. Special Function Keys Access information about any MILLPWR function. Switch from inches to millimeters or vice versa. Add to your tool library, change your display options and define other system parameters. Perform standard (+, -, x, ÷), trigonometry, geometry and RPM calculations. Milling Functions       Use these keys to create a program.  All but BLEND may also be used as one-time milling functions from the DRO display. Numeric Keypad and Calculator  Enter program data and perform math calculations.  Press the CLEAR key to delete information from a data field.  Press the ENTER key to accept the information you've entered.   Cursor and Motion Control Increase or decrease your feed rate. These keys enable you to position your table or move your cursor. Press this key once to pause your program, twice to exit. Start your program. Screen Layout 1  Status Bar Displays the servo motor status (ON/OFF), feed rate, current tool, scale and whether your position is being displayed in inches or millimeters. 2   Information Area Displays information about the job being performed. Readout (DRO) - used as a digital readout, the display will show the current position for each axis. Program (PGM) - when programming, a list of program steps (milling functions) and part-view graphics will be displayed. Calculator (CALC) - the geometry calculator enables you to calculate missing information and then insert it into your program. 3   Message Line Operator prompts and messages will appear here. 4   Softkeys Variable milling functions appear here; functions are selected by pressing the softkey directly below each category.
