Intuitive machine operation
In the course of further development, the HMI
control panel has also been further optimized.
Now the advanced software with icon interface
provides high process reliability and intuitive
operation. The motto of “Simplification” is
stamped on every detail: With the help of icons,
all operations are clearly arranged and structured.
For example, the user finds stylized, meaningful
icons for different categories, such as parameters
for dimensions, the transport, the tool clamping
or guide rails. “This makes the development
of bending programs or the input of tool data
easier. Moreover, all entries are always inspected
for validity, therefore, conflicting inputs are
prevented”, explains Bert Zorn, Managing Director
of Schwarze-Robitec. The CNC NxT 2.0 also includes
an advanced user management system. This
allows the assignment of different user-level to
employees: starting with the operation of the tube
bending production to complex processes, such
as production planning, bending equipment and
optimization of the product or integration into the
company’s infrastructure. “We have a complete
package of software and hardware interlinked; this
will significantly improve the future productivity
of the bending production,” Mr. Zorn concluded. “It
is a crucial step towards flexible, and at the same
time, stable processes”. At the middle of 2016, the
NxG 2.0 controller will be delivered to the first
customers.
