Mitsubishi Electric Automation’s CNC Offset Manager software was developed to enable remote modification of CNC tool and work offsets.
The company says a push toward automation and central control for machining facilities can lead to more efficient ways to manage CNC machines. The software can enable increased efficiency by enabling one operator to manage more machines, speeding up machine setup and tool wear changes, adjusting for parts out of tolerance, and centralizing this work so operators don’t need to move between machines or into robot cells.
The software runs on Windows and is networked to the Mitsubishi Electric CNC via Ethernet. It also has a feature that enables other automation software or systems to interface with the CNC to fully automate the offset management process or make the changes from a central cell management software. This enables software companies to interface their software with Mitsubishi Electric CNCs for automation and remote offset management. It also enables manufacturers with CNC equipment to automate their machine-tending CNC cells and testing or measuring equipment, or centralize the offset management operation so operators can work more efficiently.
