PC Based CNC Controller  

The MCL 10 lathe is operated under program control using a dedicated PC. The user interface is an integrated development environment used for entering part programs, simulating the resulting tool movements, editing the part program as required and finally machining the actual part. Actual machining operation is password protected and electronically interlocked so that the supervisor is always in control avoiding mishandling of the system by students. While executing the Part program the MCLIO system scrolls the program instructions and identifies the command line currently being executed allowing the student to co-relate each instruction with the machining operation.

The system allows entering of offsets to impart training in the intricacies of tool wear and tool-nose radius compensation. Spindle and Coolant Pump ON / OFF under program control using standard M codes is provided. A special section on diagnostics allows the student to quickly check and troubleshoot operation of the various limit switches and individual axes motions.

Simulate Utility

 
With the Simulate Function provided in the MCL 10 trainer the student can quickly check tool path motions on the PC screen and amend mistakes before attempting to machine the part. This function reduces development time and minimizes chances of machine damage and wastage of materials

The MCL-10 facilitates training in Metrology

 

A rewind / repeat function (M30 command) provided in the software of the MCL 10 Trainer Lathe allows the student to produce several parts without

altering machine settings and analyze the precision and tolerance achieved in the samples. This feature enables training in metrology, inspections and quality control aspects and can also be used for limited quantity production runs.

Robust Mechanical System

 

The MCL 10 trainer lathe is built on a rugged and sturdy ground bed. Both axes are driven by powerful stepper motors and ball screws which makes

cutting of steel possible. The MCL 10 is provided with a dual tool holder and the system automatically selects the Tool specified through standard T commands. The standard tool holder provided with the system allows use of

ISO specified tool bits of any reputed make so that students can learn the importance of appropriate tool selection for achieving a variety of machining

objectives such as good finish or minimum machining time. Optional tool holders are also available to operate with low cost local tools to keep consumables costs at an affordable level.

Safety and Emergency Stop

 

The MCL 10 has in-built limit switches which automatically inhibit motion beyond allowable limits to avoid damage to the machine. An Emergency Stop provided on the main machine is active all the time and will disable all motions and spindle drive as soon as it is pressed.
