What Is VPanel?
VPanel is an application that allows milling machine operation on a computer
screen. It has functions for outputting cutting data, performing maintenance,
and making various corrections. It also displays information such as the cutting
machine status and errors.
""Setup Guide" ("Installing the Software")
Displaying VPanel
Click (the VPanel icon) in the task tray on the desktop.
The top window of VPanel will appear. If you cannot nd in the
task tray, start the program from the Windows [Start] screen (or the
[Start] menu).
Starting from the Windows [Start] Screen (or [Start] Menu)
Windows 10 and 7
From the [Start] menu, click [All Apps] (or [All Programs]) then [VPanel for DWX]. Then click [VPanel for
DWX].
Windows 8.1
Click on the [Start] screen. From the [Apps] screen, click the [VPanel for DWX] icon under [VPanel
for DWX].
VPanel serves as resident software.
VPanel works as resident software that is constantly working to manage the milling machine, send emails,* and so on. It is rec-
ommended to congure the settings so that VPanel starts automatically when the computer starts. ("P. 10 ""Settings" Tab") In
addition, clicking in the upper right of the top window will minimize the window to the task tray. The window will disap-
pear from the screen, but the program will not be exited. While VPanel is running, is constantly displayed in the task tray.
* E-mails are sent to notify of milling completion or errors that occur. ("P. 12 ""Mail" Tab")

VPanel Display in the Task Tray
When the VPanel icon is displayed in the task tray, the status of a connected milling machine is always monitored.The display of the
VPanel icon changes depending on the status of the milling machine. The meanings of the displays are shown below.
Indicates that at least one of the connected milling machines is on (is online).
Indicates that all the connected milling machines are o.
Indicates that an error has occurred on at least one of the connected milling machines.
If you hover the mouse pointer over this icon, you can check which machine has the error.
Messages are displayed automatically if an error occurs, during cutting, and in similar
situations. Even after the message disappears, if you hover the mouse pointer over this
icon, the status of each connected machine (such as Ready, Milling, Finished, Completed, or
Oine) will be displayed.
Messages prompting you to perform maintenance (such as "Spindle run-in required") will also
be displayed. In these situations, perform the maintenance work indicated by the message.

On this tab, you can congure settings related to the machine IDs and NC codes. When more than one machine is connected, the
machine selected in the top window becomes the target for the setting.
Display Explanation
NC code with
decimal point
Select how to interpret numbers in NC codes.
With "Conventional," the unit is interpreted as millimeter (or inch) when there is a decimal point, and as
1/1000 millimeter (or 1/10000 inch) when there is no decimal point.
With "Calculator," the unit is always interpreted as millimeter (or inch) regardless of whether there is a
decimal point. Select the scope of the application when selecting "Calculator." Select an appropriate
setting according to your CAM or NC code.
 Initial setting: Conventional
Machine ID
When multiple machines are connected to one computer, it's necessary to set IDs for the machines.

When more than one machine is connected, information for the machine selected in the top window is
displayed.
Override
You can adjust the milling speed and the spindle speed. This is useful when you want to change settings
such as the milling speed on the y while monitoring the milling status. Overrides are specied in
percentages.
For example, if the milling data command sent from the computer is 10,000 rpm, setting the override to
150% will cause the rotation speed to be 15,000 rpm.
Milling speed
Allows adjustment of the milling bur movement speed when milling the workpiece. The speed specied
by the command in the milling data is taken to be 100%. Inputting a large value will result in faster
speeds. Inputting a small value will result in slower speeds.
Spindle speed
You can adjust the spindle speed during milling. The number of rotations specied by the command in
the milling data is taken to be 100%. Inputting a large value will result in increased rotations. Inputting a
small value will result in decreased rotations.
 The override will return to 100% when the milling machine is turned OFF.
 In the top window, the spindle speed is shown as the speed specied by the milling data command
and not the speed after the override.
 Setting an override does not let you perform operations beyond the machine's maximum or
minimum speeds (rotation speeds).
Point
Select the "Disable automatic blowing when milling is nished" check box to stop the automatic blowing function*.
*: This is a function that automatically blows air on the workpiece when milling is nished in order to blow o󱐯 the milling
waste.

Intelligent Tool Control (ITC) Function Settings
This machine is equipped with an Intelligent Tool Control (ITC) function. If you set the ITC function, when the milling bur being used
approaches its replacement time, it is automatically switched with the next milling bur. This makes it possible to continue milling for a
long time without any loss in milling quality. Use this dialog box to group together the milling burs that will be switched automatically.
Register milling burs with the same name to set them as a single unit. For milling burs that are the same type, you can set a maximum
of three milling burs and a minimum of two milling burs.
When setting three milling burs as a single unit
Set three milling burs with the same name in the milling bur stocker.
(In the example in the following gure, (1) to (3) are set to the same name.)
