Chapter 2 Summary
2.1 Product instruction
HBmicroEDGEpro system is a kind of the multi-axis CNC system; it is designed specially for the
shape cutting machine. It is also the new product of metal processing industry. The main aim we
design is easy to use, the software which can program make the panel design simple and increase
the function. the interface become the more humanization.
With the high degree of accuracy plasma and laser technology appear, the controller have a
precise location for cutting equipment. INTEL Pentium makes the more precise location. With the
numerical positioning ring and speed ring appear your machine work smoothly within permitted speed
and precisely find the programming positioning of the cutting equipment.
This controller is applicable to all two-dimension cutting table. The controller install the
plasma ,flame, scalar, laser and hydraulic cutting logic. Wherever you use it, we will give you a
creative process.
You can directly input the work piece process, so you don’t wait for transmission, setup and
alignment model or select some shape from 51 in the gallery. You can download custom-built work
piece process when you use the main machine or CAD and CAM. We even provide the free
information service of controller so that controller connects with your administration information. No
matter how you do , the shape window of controller can reduce the setup time , simplify design and
accelerate the produce.
Our product is connected to the Microsoft C++ and MFC. The operation environment is the same
as the latest software.
