The company's eCNC control software is compatible
with the company's MM I, MM3, MM5 and MM7 CNC
products currently on the market. The new control
uses the Windows 2000 operating system and the
MachineMate Real Time kernel. The eCNC uses a
standard Web browser for the CNC MMI, networking
and Internet connections. All of the company's
standard MMI screens have been converted to Web
browser screens using HTML frames and Java applets
for the eCNC. The standard Web browser is said to
make the MMI screens more flexible and easier to
develop and make it easier to make additions or
changes. Designers who have developed Web screen
pages can develop CNC MMI screens. The current
controls use Visual C++ or the company's
Visualizer software for screen development. The
current Visualizer software can also be used for
screen development on the new eCNC.
The built-in Internet connection and standard Web
browser software for the MMI allows remote access
capability with no added software. Remote access
can be used to monitor, report, download, upload
or troubleshoot the machine tool.
The MMI consists of a color TFT flat screen and
keyboard that can be remote from the stainless
steel IPC/CNC shell. The new slim line design
comes in a vertical look that is bolted directly
in place and is physically compatible with other
traditional CNCs. The new eCNC also comes in the
horizontal look of the current MM I, MM3, MM5 and
MM7 CNCs.
