Want flexibility and functionality in your work? HMIelite<\/i> gives it to you. A machine feature that works for one shop might not work for another. Computer numerical controls (CNCs)<\/a> can play an important role in adapting a machine to a manufacturer\u2019s needs through the development of custom interfaces and the integration of peripherals; examples of it are machine monitoring<\/strong> programs, coolant control systems<\/strong> and probes. However, implementing these customizations<\/strong> often requires high-level programming expertise as well as cooperation from the OEM (and\/or third-party companies in the case of peripherals)<\/p>\n

Furthermore <\/i>nowadays users expect more and more from HMIs: more functionality, adaptability to new devices and simpler and more modern options.<\/p>\n

Consequently at Fagor Automation<\/a> we work to offer the most versatile range of features in our HMIs, all packaged in the CNCelite<\/i> Series<\/a> model.<\/p>\n

Custom Screens<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Instead of employing a custom application programming interface (API) to build the new HMIelite<\/i>, we chose HTML5<\/strong>, an industry first that streamlines machine tool customization.The CNCelite <\/i>Series HMI runs on HTML5 web technology and can run on a remote CPU. This gives the OEM the complete freedom to configure and customize the HMI independently of the real-time part of the CNC; in turn frees up real-time CPU resources and improves machine performance. Moreover, thanks to the universal language<\/strong> it uses, it is very easy to customize.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a result it is easier to operate the entire machine. In addition, a well-designed interface<\/strong> can make navigation easier and keep machine operators focused by presenting only relevant information.<\/p>\n

For any device<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"The user is no longer limited to the same screen configuration or computer to access the software. CNCelite <\/i>Series offers the possibility to connect the HMI to any other device remotely<\/strong>, and with a unique web design<\/a> everything is seen correctly in any device, as it is adaptable to all screen formats (responsive).<\/strong><\/p>\n

With HMIelite <\/i>the user can simply slide their fingers across the screen to change the working mode. In addition, a short press on the display allows access to new data. If pressed longer, the contextual help will display the calculator needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With FGE (Fagor Geometry Editor)<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"The great innovation that HMIelite<\/em> brings is that the new CNCelite offers completely new de\u00adsign of the current profile editor. The new editor is based on the same programming philosophy, but with CAD-based improvements:<\/p>\n

Interactive CAD: allows drawing, using the \u00abstandard\u00bb CAD tool philosophy, defining as many support lines and arcs as necessary to obtain the desired geometry.<\/p>\n
