OPENMill™ is the latest CNC modular control system for control of machining centers from OSAI USA. Designed for highest productivity, finishing quality and ease of use, these new OSAI hardware and software modules provide optimized management of simple 3 axis milling machines to the most complex 5 axis machining centers.
“The new OSAI hardware and Software modules allow the optimized management of machining centers, in terms of costs and performance from simple 3 axis milling machines up to more complex 5 axis machining centers.” reports Ivica Simunic, national sales manager for OSAI USA. “The OPENMill system is designed to simplify the installation and commissioning, for a faster time-to-market, as a result of its advanced Software modules and Hardware components”.
The OPENMill software programs and controls the machining center managing the execution of programs from either an external CAD-CAM or locally using graphic and parametric programming of cycles and profiles. The programmer does not require any knowledge of ISO language used by the CNC as a result of the simple to use integrated conversational editor.
The OPENMill software matches the OPENcontrol Software configured as OPEN-20 and includes all the functions required to control machines with up to 4 interpolated axes. The OPENcontrol software configured as OPEN-30, has been specifically designed for complex machines with 5 or more interpolated axes per process, up to 24 processes and up to 64 controlled axes.
The real-time SoftPLC, integrated in the CNC, is extremely versatile allowing interface of the control with most machine systems, from simple 3-axes milling machines to multi-axes and multi-spindle machining centers. The system’s 250 multi-task capability at 10 priority levels and with 450 available functions is further assurance of the OPENMill’s capabilities and versatility.
The OPENcontrol family of CNC’s are scalable and with a computing power easily adaptable to any customized requirement with no modifications to the software or the application and with block processing speeds of up to 7,000 blocks per second. The OPENcontrol can also use compact or modular drives, servo motors, and spindle motors to meet any application needs.
OPENMill follows the successful launch of OSAI OPENCut hardware/software solution for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. Both systems are backed by OSAI USA’s more than 50 years’ experience providing leading original equipment manufacturers and machine builders with state-of-the-art CNC control solutions.
