Hello
I’d like to know whether it’s possible to make easy controllers with MPs from new ones with separate potentiometers. Then an FMax with a feed motion potentiometer would be controllable.
I love rapid motion potentiometers, but people who have to change to new controllers from older ones think it’s hard.

[NTCNC9]

As far I know, it’s possible. But why don’t people just get used to new controllers?
Separate potentiometers have only advantages. And it comes the day when one has to keep up with the times.
For example, if I got a new machine with iTNC530, I wouldn’t work with cycle 19 any more, but I’d get used to the plane function…

Let it be

What are you gonna do if someone who is used to rapid motion potentiometers works at the machine?

He’ll have problems then.

We also have different controllers and all our colleagues got used to them.

I’d also suggest leaving it.
Even our oldest staffs got used to it and they think it’s a good innovation.

Hello

I only can agree with the others.
A separate potentiometer has only advantages.
They have to get used to it.

Hello

I know that rapid motion potentiometer is great. But ask Hermle staff. There’re people who say it’s dangerous and deactivate it during commissioning. But they don’t say how it can be retracted. Or they just don’t know it.

Hermle showed us how we can deactivate it. But they don’t know how it may be activated again!!!

Not because of a habit. I always forget to turn up the rapid motion.

Next day our late shift tells me that my machine was staying because the rapid motion was at 0.
