Control Technology

PC-based control
- Very simple user interface
- USB interface standard
- 19” TFT screen standard
- NC-programs in ISO-format or Heidenhain®#-format (with limited scope), mixed code also possible
- INCompatible with INDUSTRY 4.0
Röders is partner of the umati initiative of the German machine tool association VDW (umati = universal machine tool interface). The umati interface enables a standardized data transfer to the machines of numerous suppliers. umati is an essential step towards industry 4.0.

Control technology optimised for HSC
Outstanding characteristics of the Röders RMS6 control:
- Block processing time < 0.1 ms
- Look ahead > 10,000 blocks
- Continuously improved spline interpolation

Performance increase through control updates
Newest control versions also for older machines(from year of manufacture 1995) available at low cost with the special Röders update service
> Higher precision, better surface quality and significantly shorter machining times

Automatic minimisation of vibrations
Automatic spindle speed optimisation by the machine within a user-selectable range in order to minimise vibrations and achieve the highest possible surface quality; patent pending

Tangential transitions
Patented function to avoid offsets in transitional areas if several different tools are used for machining
- Automatic modification of the machining programs for tangential transitions

Post-processors
- Simple individual programing of postprocessors for all CAD/CAM-systems with the help of the Röders postprocessor handbook
- Standard postprocessors available at Röders
- Complete output of all NC-parameters by the CAM-system
→
Programing at the machine control not necessary

- Processing of ISO-NC-programs (G‑code) or Heidenhain®#-NC-programs (with limited scope) possible
- very short familiarization time
- Changeover between Röders control and Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain or others very easy for operators, because the familiar NC-programing language does not change
- Auch gemischte Verwendung von ISO- und Heidenhain®#-Befehlen erlaubtAlso a mixed use of ISO-NC-commands and Heidenhain®#-NC-commands is allowed

Optimised use of tools
Numerous functions for optimised use of tools
- Sister tools
- Wear criteria
- Maximum tool life travel
- Measurement strategies
- Geometry identification and test
- etc.

Further control functions
Simulation with 3D display of the workpiece
- Cut-out function of milling programs for partial machining of workpieces
- Very easy workshop programming
- etc.
