Synchronizing the machining process with the conveyor belt
TwinCAT 3 CNC Conveyor Tracking enables the machining process to be synchronized with a conveyor belt. This makes it possible to process moving workpieces that are larger than the actual working area of the machine.
Visualizing PLC data directly from the controller in three dimensions
The new Array Time Chart in TwinCAT Scope visualizes PLC data in three dimensions directly from the controller, with precise timestamps and outstanding performance. Time series, frequencies, and harmonics in arrays can be displayed as a waterfall chart or mesh with customizable grids and color gradients.
Intuitive CNC HMIs with simulation functionality
The TwinCAT 3 automation software offers two new function libraries – CNC HMI Base and CNC HMI Simulation Server – which can be used to create modern, intuitive HMI applications for the CNC sector and simulate part machining using real-time data.
