Machine tool builders in the Americas have been buying computerized numerical controllers (CNCs) from Mitsubishi Electric Automation since 1974. At IMTS 2012 recently, this U.S. affiliate company of Mitsubishi Electric Corp. celebrated the installation of its 84,000th CNC.
This translates intoto an average of six CNCs installed per day over 38 years said Steve Dumont, vice president of technical service and support.
“Our CNCs run the best machines in the world, the result of engaging top manufacturers and then working with them to optimize performance and functionality,” said Dumont. “Thanks to our advanced capabilities, user-friendly intuitive interface and fast set-up, our customers have realized reduced production costs and improved machine efficiency.”
Mitsubishi Electric Automation CNCs are used in a wide range of applications including machine tools; vertical, horizontal and 5-axis machining centers; multi-turret, multi-spindle, turn mills; and multi-system Swiss-type turning centers.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation’s product line also includes programmable automation controllers (PAC), programmable logic controllers (PLC), human machine interfaces (HMI), variable frequency drives (VFD), servo amplifiers and motors, motion controllers, control software and robots.
