10/Series Light CNC
10/Series high-performance compact CNC
The OSAI architecture incorporates a series of products, combining simple and cost effective hardware with high-end performance. The complete version has been called "10 Series Light" to represent this concept. This product line is characterized by an up-to-date PC technology hardware platform which runs our proprietary multitasking, real-time, Operating System. The whole software environment and all available tools remain fully compatible with the other products in the OSAI 10/Series Family, this version being specifically optimized to offer the best performance with OSAI OS-Wire Digital Package.
The 10/Series Light family gives a choice of two different architectures:
- 10/510 Light: a black box, network connectable CNC, available in two versions: 10/510S Light and 10/510i Light, that differ only in CPU Power.
In addition to the optimum architecture, OS-Wire interface for Axes and I/O, this version also allows different analogue or digital axes cards and many alternative I/O fieldbus to be used. It also allows a choice between Solid State or Hard Disk mass storage. This makes the 10/510 Light the most flexible solution available. OSAI WinMedia range of intelligent operator panels is the most appropriate user interface, developed specifically for this product. - 10/110 Light OS-Wire: a single unit, integrating 10.4" TFT LCD Screen, CNC CPU, solid state mass storage, 48 Inputs, 24 Outputs and a OS-Wire Interface for up to 6 Axes.
The 10/Series Light family is best integrated in the OS-Wire Architecture, which includes I/O devices, available in modular or compact version, OS3 Family Digital Servo Drives and OS3 brushless Servo Motors. This architecture, thanks to the high throughput OS-Wire bus, provides a truly flexible and powerful global solution to highly demanding, cost effective CNC applications.
The OSAI 10/Series Light, just like all CNCs in the 10 Series Family, is based on a sophisticated Real-time Operating System, allowing many powerful features including the following:
- Multiple CNC Process Management (up to 20 Processes).
Multitasking Integrated-PLC execution. The PLC programming environment, WinPLUS, is a ISO 6-1131-3 compliant tool, to develop and debug machine logic in the Windows environment, and the execution in realtime on the CNC CPU.- Customization of the real-time environment of the CNC, developing executable code in C-Language to be executed on-board and interfacing all system routines and resources through specific DLL libraries.
- The Operator Interface can be "semi-graphical" (on the 10/110 Light) or can be run in Windows environment (on 10/510 Light), thanks to the Provideo environment of the WinNBI software, which also allows the fully graphical screen layouts, with animations, to be customized or by developing Visual-C code via a complete set of DLLs.
- WinNBI software also integrates graphical Windows environment tools for all development activities, commissioning and maintenance, through multi-CNC network connectivity with Ethernet.
Of course the 10/Series Light CNC offers the same advanced CNC features as the rest of the 10 Series family of controls, including the following, available as a standard or as options:
Standard ISO programming plus a optional extended instructions set (ASSET).- Multiple kinds of Interpolation and axes geometry: Linear, Circular, Helical, Master/Slave, Electronic Cam, Gantry (split) Axes.
- Tool center point programming (TCP).
- High Speed Machining (HSM) algorithms with Polynomial Interpolation approach.
- Configurable multi block Look Ahead.
- Jerk control.
- Complete 3D roto-translations.
