Capco® introduces the latest version of its 
Open Architecture Control, the ABSOLUTE all digital Capco® OAC 11.0
web-based internet connected CNC control

 

With this development, Capco® has moved far into the twenty-first century.  The ABSOLUTE all digital Capco® OAC 11.0 CNC control makes the ominous "black box" history.  The control is open to the end user and the control components are off-the-shelf commercial items.  The formerly necessary constant calibration of analog control components is eliminated.

The communication between the CNC and the axes drives is done via the SERCOS interface, which is a very fast and reliable fiberoptic noise-immune interface.  The SERCOS interface and the speed of the CNC allow the grinding system to be finely tuned for highly accurate and productive roll grinding.  The Capco® OAC 11.0 provides improved diagnostics of the grinding system and opens new possibilities for diagnostic customization.

The HMI (operator interface) is via a Pentium PC with a Windows™ NT 4.0 operating system that offers tremendous versatility and allows for flexible customization of the HMI.

The Capco® OAC 11.0 is a web-based internet-connected control that brings e-Manufacturing to roll shops.  This opens a new world of possibilities in maintenance, upgrades, integration of the automatic Capco® SuperRSCS™ roll shop computer system and communication with the company's MES to all levels.

Capco® Roll Metrology System™ 
for the Capco SuperGrinder™ Model TT

Specially designed for the Capco® SuperGrinders™ Model TT.  The measuring probes are digital, calibration-free, high accuracy measuring units with a resolution of 0.1 µm (0.000004").  The measuring device utilizes linear motors with an accuracy of 0.1 µm (0.000004").   The probes are arranged in a way not to be obstructed by the workrests and allow measuring during grinding.

The design of the RMS™ is integrated into the Capco® Model TT SuperGrinder™, keeping the center of gravity of the grinding system as low as possible.  It is integrated into the powerful ABSOLUTE all digital Capco® OAC 11.0 web-based CNC control of the machine. It provides a very fast, accurate and reliable automatic roll measuring system to check absolute diameter, taper, shape and roundness.

The Capco® fully automatic workrests
for the Capco® SuperGrinder™ Model TT

Using the latest available technologies and the capabilities of the most powerful ABSOLUTE all digital Capco® web-based OAC 11.0 Control, these steadies perform with the highest accuracy and repeatability.

The Capco® automatic work rests for the Capco® SuperGrinder™ Model TT are equipped with digital AC servomotors and a superprecision infeed system, with a positioning accuracy of 0.1 µm (0.000004").  The positioning and the adjustment of the jaws is done by a fully automatic "find roll" program, with no return to zero position required for repositioning or adjusting. The repeatability is better than 0.1 µm (0.000004"). The Capco® automatic work rests are fully integrated in the automatic grinding program with possibility of manual override "on-the-fly".

The Capco® automatic work rests are an investment that improves quality, productivity and return of investment in your roll shop.
