Operator Interface
MTI have for the past ten years, undertaken to develop an operator
interface that is entirely operator friendly.
Most machine tools bewilder the uninitiated, with an array of
bells buttons and whistles, that make you want to crawl under
a rock and hide. The operator training is usually akin to remembering
all the detail required to fly Concord.
The full colour VDU as fitted to the full product range , is
"Windows" based, with four basic screens. The system
leads the user through the necessary events required to operate
the system.
The system comprise of THREE switches, i.e. Main isolator, Motor
Enable / Disable and Emergency stop. All other commands are via
the TFT screen and for ease of use a twelve digit remote keypad
for moving the system around under non CNC control.
