An operator-friendly control system
also has a lot to do with efficiency. Kronos grinding machines are
equipped with the current digital Siemens control and drive
technology as standard: the Sinumerik 840D control and Simodrive
propulsion technology. These digital drives offer maximum
precision and rapid processing speeds. Operation, set-up,
retooling and dressing as well as programming complex grinding
tasks are all easily accomplished.
And on top of that ...
Studer Mikrosa places a specific user
interface over the Siemens operator interface and supplements it
with easy-to-understand symbols and graphics. Thus programming is
made even easier.
