Mitsubishi Electric Releases CNC Offset Manager Software

Mitsubishi Electric is announcing the release of its CNC Offset Manager software for remote modification of computerized numerical control (CNC) tool and work offsets. With the push towards automation and central control, machining facilities are searching for more efficient ways to manage their CNC machines. The software can introduce increased efficiency in multiple ways: for instance, it allows one operator to manage more machines, speeding up machine setup and tool wear changes, or adjusts for parts out of tolerance, as well as centralizing this work so operators don’t need to move between machines or into robot cells. CNC Offset Manager is thus geared towards production managers and supervisors on factory floors across various industries, as well as towards CNC automation software companies.

CNC Offset Manager runs on Windows® and is networked to the Mitsubishi Electric CNC via Ethernet. It also has a feature that allows other automation software or systems to interface with the CNC to fully automate the offset management process, or make the changes from a central cell-management software. This allows software companies to interface their software with Mitsubishi Electric CNC for automation and remote offset management, and allows manufacturers with CNC equipment to automate their machine-tending CNC cells and testing or measuring equipment, or centralize the offset management operation so operators and floor workers can work more efficiently.

“The release of CNC Offset Manager is coming at a good time,” said Rob Brodecki, services product manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation. “The ability to remotely modify CNC offsets will help our CNC end-users increase their productivity. We see its use becoming commonplace in factories that use our CNC equipment.”

Phoenix Contact: Heavycon D7 Heavy-Duty Connectors With Screw-in Thread

For easy and time-saving mounting of Heavycon D7 connectors, Phoenix Contact offers panel-mount bases with screw-in thread. They can be easily attached in round panel cutouts with an M25 or M32 counter nut or screwed directly into motors and devices with corresponding threads. Heavy-duty connectors in size D7 enable the flexible, space-saving, and robust cabling of machines and systems. The new panel-mount bases with screw-in thread save a significant amount of time during mounting and thus offer a plug-in alternative to the existing cable gland.

Switching Amplifiers for Conversion of Sensor Signals

Switching Amplifiers for Conversion of Sensor Signals

The transistor outputs of conventional sensors are designed for small load currents. If the user wants to switch higher currents or even alternating currents, he must use a switching amplifier. It uses the sensor signal to control an output relay. ifm offers switching amplifiers in one and two-channel design. They have an integrated wide-range power supply (110…240 V AC) to supply the connected sensors with voltage (24 V DC).
