Electronics & Controls

 To resolve a given measuring assignment the user communicates, via the measuring software, with a PC integrated in a control rack in table format. The machine’s 3-axis control can be housed in this control rack or designed as a coupled control on the machine foot.

The 3-axis control has been optimised to the point that dynamic operation at high speed, rapid acceleration, as well as gentle positioning during the scanning procedure are possible. The control can be extended to 5 axes so that 5-axis milling can be completed with the measuring machine.

 The measuring software is installed on the PC where the measuring programs are either programmed offline or are directly teachable at the machine. The ZETT MESS CNC machines can be power-moved with the help of joysticks or a handwheel.

For convenient operation, ZETT MESS supplies the DIALOG XXI control panel for space-saving installation on the machine so that it can always be moved around with the machine. When greater flexibility is required, the DIALOG XXI can be mounted on a mobile trolley so that the control panel can be freely moved around within the measuring area and even accommodate the measuring plate so that the operator is fully aware of the prevailing situation at all times.

 The exceptionally compact DIALOG XXI has an MF2 keyboard with special keys (software definable), a trackball, a 15” TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and CNC-version joy sticks.

The operator can access two different remote controls to achieve the highest measure of flexibility in conjunction with complicated measuring objects. The ZT12 has all the important functions for traversing, while the ZT14 features numerous additional useful functions. A cable connection is standard for ZT14, but an optional radio remote control is also available.
