ProtoTRAKreg; Edge
The entry level 2 axis C.N.C. control with up to 4 axis D.R.O. display is able to do simple cycles like bolt hole circles, circular and rectangular pockets, even complex profiles.
This control offers a real leap forward in the productivity of a turret mill - one day no one will buy a conventional D.R.O. for a turret mill.
Hardware
- Digital Servo Amplifiers.
- Precision Ground Ball Screws.
- Enclosures to lock out contamination.
- 7.4” LCD with adjustable contrast.
- Floppy Disk Storage for part programs.
Software
- Diameter Cutter Compensation – allows programming of the part rather than the centre of the tool path.
- Circular Interpolation – makes arcs and any size hole easy to do with standard tools.
- Linear Interpolation – to machine lines at any angle.
- Conrad – provides automatic corner radius programming with one data input.
- Incremental and Absolute programming can even be mixed within an event.
- Teach – to program manual position and mill moves.

programming.
Maths Help – for calculating points and intersections simply with no need for a calculator. - Continue Mill to eliminate repetitive data inputs while programming.
Programming Canned Cycles
- Position/Drill – single point.
- Bolt Hole – series of points evenly spaced around a circle
