Solid wood industry machines
3 to 5 axes machines working solid wood to create furniture, chairs, doors, window frames, wood tools.
Specific requirements
- Complex sequence of tools necessary during machining involving also aggregates, angular tools and blades
- Reduce overall machining time
- Prevent collision with clamps and even move them during machining to complete the working cycle
- High precision and accuracy required on machining finished
- Smooth machined surface result
Key CNC features
- PC-based solution: a single hardware hosting CNC together with HMI, CAM, nesting, optimizer and simulator to check mechanical constraints on machining, with completely separated and independent resources, to increase reliability and cut cost
- Look ahead up to 256 blocks, more than 15.000 instructions/second
- Multi-channel architecture that can run several part-programs at same time and synchronize them
- Standard ISO6983 syntax for full machining definition and parametric nested programming, that simplify interface with third parts CAD-CAM
- Up to 96 controlled axes, part of them dedicated to machining, remaining for part moving and clamps
- Motion control typical features available in CNC: gearing in position, electronic cams
- Gantry axes
- Jerk-controlled movements of all axes involved in movement and separately of the tool tip, to prevent mechanical stress and reach the best finishing surface
- Automatic adjustment of spindle rotation speed according to programming, to keep speed constant or keep removed material quantity constant, during turning machining
- High speed machining to smooth corners while keeping a defined tolerance, to reduce mechanic vibration, cut machining time and improve finishing results
- High speed machining optimized for milling on rotating stock
- High speed machining optimized for blade saw cutting
- Volumetric compensation of positioning inaccuracies due to mechanical asymmetries and machine misalignments
- Vibration suppression algorithms to prevent part damages, extend machine lifetime and increase machining quality
- Coordinates and working origins roto-translation and mirroring
- High speed machining available on 5 axes interpolation
- Programming tool tip position and orientation with Tool Centre Point (TCP) with bi-rotative heads with many tools oriented in different directions and with rotating piece and tilting head head configuration, both typical of 5 axes woodworking machines
- Alias axes to work on different physical axis with same part-program
- Management of auxiliary functions with no need to stop movement
- TCP parameter auto tuning cycles available. Newly found parameters can correct CAM generated part-programs to match with reality
- Support of many different servo digital interfaces, including EtherCAT and Mechatrolink control of servos with position or velocity reference
- Velocity feed forward and torque feed forward to have trajectory following error close to 0
- OPC UA server to connect with MES
- Remote I/Os connected with EtherCAT fieldbus thousands of I/O signals can be exchanged
- IO-Link interface gateway
- Integrated safety with FSoE
HMI
- Easy integration of OEM HMI using reusable user controls or customization of the ISAC provided interface
- High definition, interactive machining preview that operator can rotate, pan or zoom. Path already cut is identified using different colors to quickly understand the amount of work done
- Simulation environment available to check mechanical constraints and collision before running the part-program
Tooling
- Tool life management
- Tool preset, online wear measurement and integrity check
- High efficient, automatic tool change management
- Lathe tool size compensation on virtual tool tip, or radius compensation
- Advanced milling tool radius compensation using big geometrical look ahead to prevent parts damages
- Safe tool retract from material on arbitrary tool current direction. Works with spindle
- tools and blades oriented in space
PLC logic environment
- Powerful PLC logic shell compliant with IEC61131 standard
- Extensive application libraries
In addition to a general purpose CNC that OEM can use to develop its own application, Costantino CNC offers ready to work solutions, based on the same CNC, and with application layer included.
