Mitsubishi Electric Presents M70 Series CNC at IMTS 08

Mitsubishi Electric, an industrial automation company, has introduced CNC - the new M70 series at IMTS 08 in Chicago.

"Mitsubishi Electric's new M70 series CNC dramatically reduces cycle time, while retaining precision and speed," said Scott Strache, Mitsubishi Electric Automation senior product marketing engineer. "It also shortens operator setup with new ease-of-use functionality. The availability of two models and multiple software packages for milling, turning and various other applications offers a new higher-level of CNC solutions. Compact size and less wiring also mean an economical solution."

The M70 series CNC controls up to 11 axes, including NC, Spindle and PLC and up to four contouring axes. The M70 series offers two operator interface options: 8.4 and 10.4 high-visibility TFT color LCD displays. The CNC unit is mounted onto the back of the display to simplify integration.

The M70 series reduction in cycle times is attained by its 10 nanometer interpolation. Even if the part program is in micron units, the interpolation is carried out in a 10 nanometer scale. Ten nanometer interpolation means high accuracy. The company said the high-speed machining mode can rapidly execute programs at rates of up to 33,000 blocks per minute. The setup time is shortened with the introduction of pop-up windows to free the operator of multiple screen transitions.

The M70 series is also equipped with simple programming functions, Navi-Mill and Navi Lathe. With the addition of a memory card interface (PCMCIA) and 10 Base-T/100 Base-T Ethernet, data management is simplified. The M70 series handles up to 352 DC I/O.
