Milltronics 8200-B ControlInnovative CNC Machines & Controls for Production & Toolroom

HIGH SPEED CNC CONTROLThe 8200-B CNC is standard with a PC-based control which allows for advanced processing speeds that are imperative for high speed and multi-axis machining.

The 8200-B has all of the user-friendly features Milltronics CNC controls are known for and more: compatibility with all G & M Code programs plus macro programming, auto routines, trig help, and all the shop floor programming benefits of conversational programming. The 8200-B CNC has conversational visual aid programming help screens. This is helpful for new programmers to help determine what is being prompted for the fields within a conversational event. The new “Mill Away” function has been added for mid-program offset adjustment; especially helpful for 3D contouring operations in mold making.

The 8200-B CNC has a state-of-the-ar t user interface with wire frame and solid model graphic modes for tool path and por t verification. By selecting the “Fast Verify” feature, the operator can run the program at 100 times speed. Both graphic modes look ahead of actual machine position when executing so the operator can see where the tool is going before it gets there.

File management convenience is enhanced with USB and Ethernet networking capabilities. Establishing communication of shop floor production data is easier since this control is compatible with MT Connect (communication standard sponsored by The Association for Manufacturing Technology). Examples of production data may include operating state, job numbers, par t count, feeds, speeds and times, axis and spindle loads, tool life and much more.

With an ultra fast 2000 blocks per second processing speed, the 8200-B CNC is able to control the acceleration and deceleration times of the commanded axes to tailor motion control performance for specific applications. With selectable G187, G188, and G189 cutting modes, the programmer can select between different motion control parameters to optimize tool path and feedrates of the axes in motion and reduce the overall cycle time.

PROBING CYCLESThe Milltronics CNC Control, along with the work offset probing option, has the probing macros built into the conversational menus. These macros are easily added to any program to allow the operator to measure bores, single surfaces, webs, and slots. The probe option can be used for automatically updating the work offsets eliminating human error. In addition probing can be used on the Milltronics control for broken tool detection, in-cycle gauging, and inspection. Probing allows for more accuracy and as well as faster, more efficient setups.

ABOUT MILLTRONICSMilltronics has designed and manufactured quality CNC machines for the metal cutting industry for over 40 years. Milltronics markets its 50+ diverse product models in over 40 markets worldwide. We are a growing, family owned and operated company based in Minnesota, and a division of Liber ty Diversified International, Inc.

The Milltronics Graphics Advantage — powerful graphics of the Milltronics CNC control show the programmer the part geometry as it will look when completed. The graphic screens shown above shows the operator exactly where the tool is relative to the workpiece at all times. This user-friendly screen shows the tool path (green) and the diameter of the active tool. The graphic verify features show the operator the entire machining operation either in real time or in a dry run, each posting estimated runtimes including tool changes.
