1.1 About the MilTouch™ Single Stage Press Controller
BNP1UB01.C01 0000219062 B.3 A.8 1/2/20 1:58 PM Released
The Milnor®MilTouch™ single-stage press controller uses a touch-sensitive display screen to op-
erate the machine. All the functions and information you need to configure, program, and run the
machine appear on this screen.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure — can damage the display screen.
�Do not push hard on the glass.
�Use only a finger to touch the glass. Do not touch the screen with a
tool.
Operators will use the MilTouch™ controller to operate the press. However, the MilTouch™ con-
troller also has features that are accessible when the machine is idle. These features will interest
specialists, such as service technicians who work with the machine. These features are the subject
of this manual. Refer to the operator guide for operator instructions.
The MilTouch™ controller contains several displays organized into a hierarchy. Top-most is the
Main Menu display (Figure 18: Press Main Menu Display, page 35 ). Each display contains but-
tons that access lower level displays.
The chapters in this manual are organized, not by display, but by types of specialist activity. Ex-
amples are given in the following table. For a hierarchal tour of the displays, see Section 1.1.1 :
The MilTouch™ Press Hierarchy of Displays, page 6.

1.1.2 Manufacturer Data for Non-Milnor®Machine
Components
BNP1UB01.C02 0000219061 B.3 A.8 A.7 1/2/20 1:58 PM Released
This machine uses some non-Milnor®components that have their own manual, such as the inver-
ter. Although information about such components is not normally needed by the owner/operator
of a Milnor®machine, you can usually find information about these components in the manufac-
turer’s manual, which we include with the machine. You can also find related information in the
technical knowledge base on the Milnor®website (milnor.com/technical-knowledge-
base/bulletins/maintenance-2/) and on the manufacturers’ websites.
