Touchscreen CNC Mill Control



"ACU-RITE's 3500i CNC control has been designed with innovative, operator-oriented enhancements that facilitate an intuitive transition for customers to the next generation of control technology. Based on the HEIDENHAIN NC kernel and processor technology, the 3500i features a touchscreen operator interface," said a company spokesperson.

"This all new interface has allowed ACU-RITE to optimize program navigation, editing, creation and verification. Conversational programming is edited in plain machinist language and uses a powerful set of canned cycles to aid in easy-to-understand quick programming. Where additional versatility is needed, G-Code programming is available via an onscreen keyboard and a G-code help editor," said the spokesperson.

ACU-RITE has also developed a built in 2.5D CAM system designed to allow the operator to complete complicated contours quickly and easily with minimal part data.

The ACU-RITE 3500i has new advanced features like CAM, coarse tool support and USB communication. It is available in both Kit (for knee mill applications) and OEM configurations.

ACU-RITE products are represented and distributed through parent company HEIDENHAIN Corporation.
