For controlling their CNC machining systems, vhf offers a new computer system with touchscreen (“Touch PC”) in a robust and very compact industrial housing. Its high-contrast TFT touchscreen ensures an easy operability, so no separate keyboard or mouse is necessary. The system is protected from chips and can even be used under rough ambient conditions.
This Touch PC is a full computer which offers all necessary features and interfaces at a minimum of space. It will be fixed by a hinge arm to the CAM system. Thus the user has an unobstructed view at his workpieces during all setting-up works. CNC files can be imported conveniently via network or from a memory stick via a USB interface which is located directly on the top plate. The integrated hard disk offers a lot of free space for saving data. And an easily accessible emergency stop button increases the machine safety additionally.
The delivery extent of the Touch PC includes the control software CNC Term. It is used for a comfortable output of the CNC files to the machining system. Accessing the starting position will be done with this program as well as switching accessory components (dust extraction, cooling liquid supply, etc.) or performing an automatic z adjustment or a workpiece levelling.
The Touch PC is especially then ideal, when output and design of the files is being made on different computers, especially in the case of industrial serial production or the output of 3D data. If there is only limited space available, the Touch PC can make a complete work table obsolete.
