Oct 05, 2012 Available in 75, 95, 126, and 155 mm frame sizes and 3 lengths, SHX and SPX feature embedded digital interface scheme that eliminates need for separate encoder cable. This enables CNC machine builders to use one drive-to-motor cable for each motion axis. Respectively, SHX and SPX models provide continuous torque outputs from 1.2–20 Nm and 1.4–23 Nm. Both series offer choice of single- or multi-turn digital encoders with medium, 20-bit resolution and ±60 arc sec accuracy.

Hardware includes digital servo drive modules, safety PLC module, safe I/O modules, and multi-processor operator panel with touchscreen. Support software includes precision OS and soft automation PLC.

Machine Tool Drawing Software automates production verification.

NUM Corp.    Naperville, IL 60563
Mar 27, 2012 Offering tight integration with NUMROTO grinding software, NUMROTO Draw lets tool manufacturers automatically create dimensioned engineering drawings of machine tools that show precise geometry. Solution can produce cross-sectional views of tool at any position along its length, and drawings can also incorporate images obtained directly from 3D simulation of tool. Drawings are fully editable, and header information can be structured by user to suit customer requirements.

Tool Grinding Software offers collision detection features.

Mar 25, 2010 To assist with production and resharpening of special-purpose tools, NUMROTO v3.5.1 lets users create machine models that will accurately account for all add-on and moveable parts of machine. Continuous monitoring of removal rates helps protect against grinding wheel overloads as well as optimize feed rates and operation cycle times. Additional functionality allows import of compensation profiles generated by external measuring machine as well as integration of proprietary ISO CNC programs.

Tool Head migrates cutting machinery to 3D movement.

NUM Corp.    Naperville, IL 60563
Oct 09, 2009 Combined with conventional 3-axis X-Y-Z movement of underlying cutting machine, NUMcut provides means of extending capability of machinery from 2D to 3D applications with precise multi-axis interpolation. Integrated pan-and-tilt tool head, intended for plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting machinery applications, employs gimbals and Cardan universal joint to convert movement of 2 linear actuators into 360° of panning motion plus control of tilt angle up to 47°.

CAE Software provides 3D CNC simulation.

NUM Corp.    Naperville, IL 60563
May 11, 2009 Combining workpiece simulation and collision monitoring facilities, True 3D allows machinery users to virtually prototype and optimize entire machine production process. Abrasion analysis module calculates material removal rate in mm³/s at every point in machining cycle, as well as specific material removal rate on tool surface in mm³/s/mm. Animation of specific removal rate on tool surface gives programmer at-a-glance visualization of whether machine is using best cutting feed.

Single-/Dual-Axis Drives boost CNC platform flexibility.

NUM Corp.    Naperville, IL 60563
Sep 12, 2008 Used for building multi-axis systems, CANopen drives operate from common dc bus and feature built-in intelligence for performing sophisticated movement profiles following single command. Single-axis versions offer outputs from 8.9-100 Arms continuous and 10-141 A peak, while dual-axis versions offer outputs from 6.3 + 6.3 to 20 + 20 Arms continuous and 10-35 A peak. Each drive is suited for performing auxiliary tasks to coordinated multi-axis control of machine tooling.
