T 1.1 The CNC PILOT
The CNC PILOT was conceived for CNC lathes. It is suitable for
horizontal and vertical lathes. The CNC PILOT supports lathes with
tool turrets. The tool carrier of horizontal lathes can be located in front
of or behind the workpiece.
The CNC PILOT supports lathes with spindle, one slide (X and Z axis),
C axis or positionable spindle, driven tool and machines with a Y axis.
Regardless of whether you are turning simple parts or complex
workpieces, the CNC PILOT 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 also offers the powerful Teach-in mode. It enables
you to perform simple machining, rework or repair operations without
writing NC programs.
The CNC PILOT supports operations with the C axis in cycle,
smart.Turn and DIN programming. In the Y axis, the CNC PILOT
supports operations with smart.Turn and DIN programming.
