Technology Days offered online

Piggybacking past in-person Acu-Rite Solutions Technology Days at regional locations across the U.S., Acu-Rite Solutions is bringing renewed emphasis to offering the same valuable content but online in an interactive format. These free one-day seminars offer registered visitors an opportunity to engage and obtain the most up-to-date information about Acu-Rite Solutions equipment in order to maximize their shop’s manual machine tools. A complimentary gift, as well as special product offers from Acu-Rite Solutions will also be presented exclusively to all registered attendees. At these upcoming meetings via your Internet device of choice, Acu-Rite Solutions Technology Day participants can expect to interact directly with an Acu-Rite Solutions expert. The morning session generally will include a discussion of manual machine tool applications and a review of current Acu-Rite Solutions DROs and CNC controls highlighting standard and special features, functions and benefits. Highlighted Acu-Rite Solutions controls will include the MILLPWRG2 for simple knee/bed mill applications and the TURNPWR for lathes for those interested. After a lunch break, the afternoon session will include an advanced feature review of applications as well as the rare opportunity for a direct Q&A with an Acu-Rite Solutions veteran. Here, attendees often ask questions about their own Acu-Rite Solutions equipment. Some past example questions included wanting to know more about the use of the Geometry Calculator on their MILLPWRG2 or the offline software to name two. To request participation in a future free Acu-Rite Solutions Technology Day, contact John Parker at jparker@heidenhain.com or your local Acu-Rite Solutions distributor to ask to schedule one.

MILLPWRG2 & precision scales: The ultimate combo

SCHAUMBURG, IL (April 2014) — The easiest operating CNC control system in the industry is now equipped with full 3-D contouring capabilities. Marketed as “Powerful Easy”, Acu-Rite Solutions has advanced the MILLPWRG2 2- and 3-axes control/3-axes readout system to combine the latest technology with the finest qualities in traditional machining. Acu-Rite Solutions maintains its superiority by continuing to combine every MILLPWRG2 system with Acu-Rite Solutions precision glass scales for unmatched accuracy and reliability. An inherently durable material, Acu-Rite Solutions precision glass scales resist changes in size, shape or density due to temperature and humidity variations. Their stability ensures an accuracy as fine as 1.5um (.00006″), earning them an industry-wide reputation for excellence in measurement and precise positioning technology. The accuracy of Acu-Rite Solutions precision glass scales is essential to the precise control of the MILLPWRG2 system. Built on the strength of its former design, the MILLPWRG2 control continues to provide machinists the convenience of straightforward 2-1/2 axis conversational shop-floor programming, eliminating time-consuming calculations and the need to learn complicated programs. In addition to this, MILLPWRG2 has the ability to run G-code files from CAD/CAM programs, giving users the capability of full 3-D contouring. Consequently, MILLPWRG2 is even easier to use and maximizes productivity for machinists of all levels, from the less experienced operator, to the most seasoned veteran. MILLPWRG2‘s numerous capabilities put many valuable functions at the tip of the operator’s finger. MILLPWRG2 conversational shop floor programming makes it “powerful easy” to create and store multi-step part programs that include custom pockets, contours, chamfers, hole patterns, engraving, and other specialized features within a few short steps. After a program is created, it can be saved on MILLPWRG2 internal flash memory, a PC (using Ethernet), or on a USB stick, and reloaded later for future orders. If an order is accompanied with a DXF file, MILLPWRG2 will translate the part geometry into an operator-friendly program. MILLPWRG2 also has the ability to merge programs and edit, rearrange and delete multiple program steps at one time, quickly and easily. The newly enhanced MILLPWRG2 is more valuable then ever, increasing [...]
