CSM-1440 Teach Lathe in Mars Rover Production
Scott Vanderzyl, Principal Manufacturing Engineer at Motiv Space Systems, purchased four of our machines and has this to say:
“We have a unique and broad combination of capabilities and offerings across the entire motion control and robotics arenas but packaged in a small business environment. This allows us to stay very nimble while still providing highly critical customized solutions for extremely challenging applications. We make tube sections for the robotic arm for the Mars Mission on our Kent USA CNC CSM-1440 lathe as well as custom match machining for all of the actuators and mechanisms.” Read More
The TURNPWR Lathe Control
TURNPWR is a workshop-oriented turning control that enables the user to program conventional machining operations right at the machine. It is designed for turning machine tools with up to two axes. TURNPWR was developed to satisfy the wants and needs of lathe machinists where manual and automated operation are both useful and needed. TURNPWR promises to enable the user to maximize throughput by significantly reducing setup time, scrap and other non-productive operations.
Conversational programming
The well-known ACU-RITE conversational programming format for controls is a user-friendly method of writing part programs and included in the TURNPWR, however G-code (ISO) programming can also be used. Basic editing of G-code programs is also possible.
Large high-resolution display
A 12.1″ high-resolution display boasts a screen layout that is clearly arranged and user friendly. You can preview graphics in the editor and illustrate individual machining steps and corresponding tool path when programming contours, using only dimensions pulled from a production drawing. DXF files are also compatible.
Position-Trac™
TURNPWR is a closed-loop system with positioning feedback provided by rotary encoders inside the motor assemblies. When fitted with the (optional) ACU-RITE precision glass scales (1 µm/0.00005″ resolution), TURNPWR also includes Position-Trac™, an advanced feature that enables the user to easily, quickly and accurately re-establish work piece zero after shutting down or power loss.
