Mitsubishi Electric is announcing the release of its CNC Offset Manager software for remote modification of CNC tool and work offsets. According to Mitsubishi, the software enables operators to manage more machines, speeding up machine setup, tool wear changes and adjustments for parts out of tolerance. It centralizes the work so operators don’t need to move between machines or into robot cells. CNC Offset Manager is geared toward production managers and supervisors on factory floors across various industries, as well as towards CNC automation software companies.
CNC Offset Manager runs on Windows and is networked to the Mitsubishi Electric CNC via Ethernet. It also has a feature that enables other software companies to interface with Mitsubishi Electric CNC for automation and remote offset management. The feature also enables manufacturers with CNC equipment to automate their machine-tending CNC cells and testing or measuring equipment, as well as centralize the offset management operation so operators and floor workers can work more efficiently.
Rob Brodecki, services product manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, says, “The ability to remotely modify CNC offsets will help our end-users increase their productivity. We see its use becoming commonplace in factories that use our CNC equipment.”
