The SINUMERIK MCP 398C machine control panel enables user-friendly operation of the machine functions on complex machining stations. It is suitable for machine-level operation of milling, turning, grinding and special machines.

In addition to the standard elements for machine control, freely assignable slots can be integrated with the expansion modules EM66 and EM131 for connecting further control devices, e.g. for pushbuttons, USB interface, Ethernet interface. The EM131 also has space for a third override switch, a handwheel or other operator controls. The function of the SINUMERIK MCP 398C can be extended considerably by fitting additional keys and the EKS identification system (Euchner).

All keys are designed with replaceable key covers for machine-specific adaptations. The key covers can be freely inscribed using laser. Transparent key covers can be used as an alternative.

The machine control panel is secured from the rear using special clamps supplied with the panel.
