Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today the launch of a
new line of computerized numerical controllers (CNC), the MITSUBISHI CNC
E70 Series, which extends the company’s tradition of extra-operable and
accurate high-end CNCs for industrial production. Sales will begin on
December 3, 2012 and prices will be available by quotation. The company
expects to produce 3,000 units per month.
The E70 Series, which offers world-class ease of use, high speed and
accuracy, and reduced takt time, will be showcased at the 26th Japan
International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF 2012) at Tokyo Big Sight in
Japan from November 1–6.
Precise mass production of automobiles and electronics requires machine
tools that achieve exceptional accuracy and productivity, including
through the incorporation of highly operable CNCs capable of
high-capacity operation. The rising use of factory automation,
particularly in China, Korea, Taiwan and emerging countries such as
Brazil and India, has triggered increased demand for CNC machine tools.
Main Features
Simple operability for stress-free operations
- Employs the same simplified screen configuration employed popularly in
the M700V and M70V series
- Wide array of support tools, including parameter editor tool to reduce
initial setup time
- Features attachment and wiring of higher-end models for simplified
machine design and assembly
- Ethernet interface enables connection with PCs for data input/output
High-accuracy, nanometer-increment position
interpolation
- Achieves exceptionally smooth cutting surfaces thanks to position
interpolation in 1nm increments
- Analog output enables use of inverters for spindles
