The user interface VM25-HMI can be easily integrated by the user into a user application program, or activated as an independent task that can be used immediately.

Thanks to a complete programming interface based on an Active X library, the program can interact with the devices and the operator for managing the following functions:

• Balancing the grinding wheel in 1 or 2 planes, made possible by high-precision balancing heads without torque effect (patented), to achieve the best possible quality.
• Using acoustic, hydrophone and power sensors:
  • Determining the grinding wheel contact to optimize the machining and finishing cycles
  • Recording of the normal cutting characteristic patterns to monitor and signal process irregularities
• Absolute and comparative in-process measurement of the workpiece, with immediate correction feedback signal to the CNC/PLC for diameters, lengths and current positions, as well as for roundness deviations (patented), to avoid missing parts and to secure consistent production quality
• FFT analysis to monitor machine vibration and diagnose faulty components
• Data collection referred to measurements, internal and external events – with subsequent transfer of this data to other suitable media for process analysis
• Network connection to a remote PC, in the master or slave mode, via teleservice
