REICHENBACHER Mounting aid with a touch screen panel

The retrofitting aid with touch-screen-oanel has been developed in 2003 for the new Artis series and has also been deployed as such.

Issue

The control software of several machines is equipped with an automatic or manual suction optimisation, which encompasses the position of the suction into the CNC program and depicts them graphically.

Though this is impractical for retrofitting machines as for complicated configurations the operator has to go between machine table and control several times in order to read the fitting values.

Process and function

The touch-screen-oanel has been moveable on a guide along the X-axis. The control transfers the position data of all consoles and vacuum suctions to the panel. The operator could now retireve the positions of the suction from one graphic display one by one and put them individually on the table.

With introductin the 2nd generation Artis the retrofitting aid disappeard, as Reichenbacher used shut-off mats instead of bumper as security units which would not allow moveable consoles beofre the machine table.
