Financing activity for new and used machine tool equipment reveals healthy sales in in 2011 and 2012. Contributing to and building on that trend is Mitsubishi Electric Automation, which announced at the IMTS 2012 show that it had installed its 84,000th computerized numerical controller (CNC).

With increasing industry demand for even greater production output from CNCs, Mitsubishi Electric has introduced the multi-axis M700V Series of computer numerical controllers. According to a company spokesman, key advances of the product include:

  • Optimum machine response control for drive system speed and accuracy
  • Complete nanometer control and processing for ultra-precision, advanced machining
  • Adaptive notch filter control to monitor and prevent repeated fluctuations caused by mechanical wear
  • Super smooth surface control to suppress vibrations and maintain the desired speed
  • Five-axis machining control for proper positioning of the tool center point.

The M700VS model is a stand-alone, compact, integrated controller with a built-in interface screen, while the M700VW model operates on a Windows platform for PC-based control. Both models feature a high-speed servo network.

Other advances in the M700V Series over its predecessor include improvements to the basic CNC functions, graphic performance and built-in PLC; 66 percent reduction in power consumption on the M700VS model; and a higher level of custom functions on the Windows XPe-based M700VW.

Designed for a range of metal-cutting, forming, plastics and woodworking applications, the M700V CNC features simple HMI screens to facilitate navigation and operation, including a menu customization function, pop-up screens and a guidance function. A 64-bit RISC CPU and a proprietary LSI power the CNCs.

Mitsubishi Electric Automation CNCs are used in a wide range of applications, including machine tools, machining centers, multi-turret / multi-spindle turn mills, and multi-system Swiss-type turning centers.

Mitsubishi Electric Automation has created a new micro-site expressly for the machine tool industry, www.MitsubishiMachineTool.com. Product information can also be found at www.meau.com.
