AT CNC CONTROLAnia Electronics is an industy leader in daveloging easy-to-use CNC controls for machine tools. Since the inception of microprocessor technology, Anilam controls have been recognized for their user-iendly programming Jormats and powerful, menu driven, canned cycles. ‘Now, Anilam has taken the next step in applying today's tochnology to CNC controfs-the Series 1400.The Series 1400 contol isan easy-to-use, extremely powerful CNC contro! which utlizes off the shelf 986 PC hareware and a DOS ‘sofware platform. These features conform to the last recommendations of the US. National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, SERIES 1400—A 5-STAR CONTROL “The Sories 1400 is called a 6-sar contol to highlight the five (5) significant areas of user benetits ‘hich separates the Series 1400 from hardware dedicated controls: 492 bit PC hardware Conversational G-codes ek kk “Integrated CAM programming ‘Enhanced mold and die capability ‘Color graphics and advanced programming The features ofthe Sories 1400 are extensive and wil improve the machining ccapabiltios of any user. And, whether you purchase your Series 1400 as part of ‘CNC machine tool, as a retrofit, or as an OEM contro-you receive the worldwide ‘support of Anilam technicians and application engineers from offices throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, 32 BIT PC HARDWARE The Series 1400 incorporates a 386 based personal computer (PC) with high speed 32 Bt tectinology for computing and operating functions. Use of axisting PC technology deamaticaly reduces the cost of OEM configurations, and provides an open KK HK architectuo systom which acitates the incorporation of MAP and LAN (networking). The Series 1400 computer ean be upgraded to incorporate the latest technological introductions 486, 586, oc, You are nove ot wth obsolete contol! In adaton, the Saris +400 provides the proven elit ul to toay's 1M" compatitie computer. Should pars be required you are guaranteed inexpensive replacements and worldwide availablity. The Series 1400's intr- changeabiiy, eeblty, ané advanced computing power provide a dependable ‘contol wih high speed rapid moves, fast contouring feed rates, and quick execution of program blocks, canned eyes, draw graphics, and on-board CAM programming pes Breit www.SterlingMachinery.com 1CONVERSATIONAL G-CODES Recerca With the Seis 400 contol, Anam has coined Hee anew word inthe glossary of CNC terms~"Conver Saltonal G-Codes” Uti the introduction of the Series 1400, programming has been ether conversational” or °G-coded. The Series 1400 combines the two! When programming the 1400, the operator may inate a “hlp" menu which provides access through KKK KK ‘a series of windows on the CRT screen to functional dofntions of tines, ates, pockets, ling cycles, et. When chosen the selected function wil splay the English transaton for he G-code program and as the help monu statements are Med in wrn conversavonalinsvuctons, re actual coded program is deplayed Hence-conversational G-codes. Conversational G-codes are an excellent training assist. However, as an operator becomes more experienced, he "menus Wil be used les fr triring and mote for programming assistance. The use of “help menus" provide an experienced operator with the caret fama for canned cycles, and along with canned eye graphics tis means less memorizing, less keystikes, les eros, and faster, more accurate programming INTEGRATED CAM PROGRAMMING ‘The Series 1400 has an integrated CAM programming mode. It's easly used by selecting “leone” displayed on the CRT and using the cursor an operator can generate moves and construction geometry consisting of points, lines, and arcs. As a result, very limited Blueprint information is required to produce a part. Trig calculations are efiminated! Teed nL In this mode of programming, no G-code knowledge is necessary, Simply define the par, set the speeds and feeds, determine offsets and stepovars, and toll the contol to contour, drill or pack. The rests automatic! ENHANCED MOLD AND DIE CAPABILITY “The mold canned cycles and die making ccapabiltias ofthe Saries 1400 have been improved ‘tom those available in any previous control. "Mold rotation” can machine a male core or a female cavity ‘and either shape may be rotated around any axis or any point to give an operator maximum machining KK KK foxibilty, The “elbow cyco" is faster and easier to program and it does not scallop cut but machines lengthwise. This improves finish and saves tim, cle is naw and allowss machining of pockets with any angle iting the operator to describe soparate corner radi, f # fraifangje, and Z axis stops.
