1.1 The MANUALplus
The MANUALplus was conceived for CNC lathes. It is suitable for
horizontal and vertical lathes. The MANUALplus supports lathes with
tool turrets. The tool carrier of horizontal lathes can be located in front
of or behind the workpiece.
The MANUALplus supports lathes with spindle, one slide (X and Z
axis), C axis or positionable spindle, driven tool and machines with a Y
axis.
The MANUALplus for cycle lathes
On the MANUALplus, rework or simple tasks can be done in the same
way as on a conventional lathe. You move the axes in the normal
manner by turning the handwheels. The cycles of the MANUALplus
are available for difficult cuts like tapers, undercuts or threads. For
small and medium-size production runs, cycle programming will
increase your revenue. When machining the first workpiece, you can
store the machining cycles, and already save valuable time when
machining the second workpiece. For increased requirements and
complex machining tasks, you will profit from the new programming
mode smart.Turn.
MANUALplus for CNC lathes
Regardless of whether you are turning simple parts or complex
workpieces, the MANUALplus provides you with the benefits of
graphical contour input and convenient programming with smart.Turn.
Programming with variables, controlling special machine components,
or using externally created programs, etc. is no problem: Switch to
DINplus. This programming mode helps you solve all your special
tasks.
The MANUALplus supports operations with the C axis in cycle,
smart.Turn and DIN programming. In the Y axis, the MANUALplus
supports operations with smart.Turn and DIN programming.
