FlexiumPro CNC platform sets new standards in productivity and reliability
With the consistent further development of the proven Flexium CNC system, the Swiss company NUM AG has achieved impressive progress. In terms of performance, speed, reliability and usability, FlexiumPro is a quantum leap.
(PresseBox) - For more than 60 years, the Swiss company NUM AG, a leading provider of CNC solutions, has been offering a basic system for CNC systems in a wide range of applications. As part of the continuous development of the CNC platform, the new FlexiumPro is going to replace its predecessor Flexium+ and clearly outperforms it in key aspects.
The focus of further development was on the aspects of CNC production that are also of the greatest importance to its users: Performance, speed, precision and reliability. With this in mind, the hardware configuration for the new version of the CNC platform, consisting of a Real Time Kernel (RTK) with CNC and PLC, the drive amplifiers (NUM DrivePro), the servomotors and the required PC, has been comprehensively revised. FlexiumPro achieves a significant increase in reliability and system availability, not least thanks to the integration of PLC and CNC processes on a single board based on a multi-core ARM processor. By using system-on-chip technology, NUM has succeeded in increasing the CNC computing power of FlexiumPro tenfold compared to the last version of Flexium+, with strict synchronization of CNC and PLC.
Flexium+ relies on a hard real-time operating system. This avoids latency times and the complexities usually associated with soft operating systems, and ensures precise control and responsiveness. All data, such as the PLC program, machine configuration, workpiece programs and calibration data, are stored on a removable micro SD card, which represents an additional advance, not least in terms of data security. The system is also protected by the integration of super-capacitors in the FlexiumPro Real Time Kernel. This ensures that the system shuts down safely even in the event of spontaneous power failures.
FlexiumPro seamlessly follows on from the previous versions in terms of functionality and expands on them. New features include
Control of up to 32 axes and/or spindles
Support for 32 processing channels
Free auxiliary channels and PLC axes
Sub-nanometer interpolation
Real Tool Center Point (RTCP)
High-speed cutting (HSC)
Specific technology functions and processing cycles
Improved diagnosis
Modern and intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) that can be easily customized
In addition to the familiar functions, the retention of the PLC programming language and environment as well as the upward compatibility of the workpiece programs facilitate a smooth migration from Flexium+ to FlexiumPro. Moreover to interoperability, FlexiumPro s new HMI focuses above all on flexibility. With the help of the powerful Software Development Kit (SDK), FlexiumPro can be extensively customized. For example, customer-specific modules or plug-in components can be integrated.
The launch of the new FlexiumPro CNC platform will be supported by the introduction of another new series of high-performance drives in the NUM DrivePro series in one, two and four-axis configurations for controlling all types of electric motors.
Overall, with the new developments and the upgrade to FlexiumPro, NUM has succeeded in revolutionizing CNC systems in terms of speed, reliability and flexibility.
