CyberFab Control

CyberFab Production CyberFab Control The proprietary control system CyberFab Control provides real-time control of CNC machines equipped with cutting, marking, machining and other technologies. It represents the newest generation of MicroStep control systems. Excellence of CyberFab Control rests on 3 pillars: Intelligent user interface The intuitive and easy UI is fully integrated with CyberFab Manager to ensure high productivity of cutting systems not only with automatic, but also manual handling, nudging operators to uninterrupted machine utilization. Convenience of operation is supported by a 24″ touch screen and built-in parameter databases Super dynamic motion control Motion control is taken to the next level by introducing proprietary interpolation algorithms, optimized for high machine dynamics and fine contour quality. CyberFab Control thus ensures the best cutting results for the most demanding laser applications while maintaining a high level of flexibility that characterizes all MicroStep systems Integrated digital functionality CyberFab Control supports the CyberFab ecosystem as an edge device that continually collects, stores and evaluates data on machine production, performance and diagnostics. In return, CyberFab Control receives always up-to-date production planning, operation and maintenance data Features Control of plasma, laser, oxyfuel and waterjet cutting; plasma, laser, inkjet and micro-percussion marking; milling and drilling Processing of sheets, pipes, profiles, beams, domes and other custom shapes Automatic switching of technologies & multitasking 3D objects scanning and automatic motion adaptation to true shape of material Automated bevel cutting with all technologies Auto-Calibration of Tool Geometry – ACTG® (patented by MicroStep) Advanced Bevel Corrections – ABC Additional Beveling Process – ABP® (patented by MicroStep) Self-Teaching Height Control – STHC Smart Z Movement – SZM Integration of material handling systems Support for fully automatic operation of machinery Benefits Technological parameters shared between production machines – instant production setup Configuration and production databases of machines shared with CyberFab applications – highly accurate evaluation of planned production Targeted system communication with users according to user competences – receive only messages that are relevant to your job Intelligent operator interface displays only the functional elements that are related to currently running processes – highly focused operation Intranet applications with access to production, utilization, operation and maintenance info for each machine through company intranet – machine apps available conveniently and remotely Intranet applications Each machine with CyberFab Control includes a transparent web interface with machine overview and easy access to its intranet applications. The following apps are available via intranet: Machine Manager, Service Manager, User Manager, Machine Stats, Dashboards and Manuals. Apart from apps, the web interface also notifies of actual service alerts. Machine Manager Service Manager User Manager Machine Stats Dashboards Manuals

Dashboard

Dashboards The power of overview: Monitor your production in real time to make sure nothing hangs Conveniently accessible from a PC or a smart device, dashboards visualize selected data and information on your MicroStep production systems. In summary or for each individual machine, they can display: current state of machine(s) activity history and stats temperature or other environmental conditions, energy and media consumption task lists with active CNC programs including used tools, time estimates and estimates of material usage stock material details including material type, dimensions and weight planned services for each machine

CyberFab Connect

CyberFab Connect Integrate production machines with information systems of your company CyberFab Connect ensures the exchange of information between CyberFab and north-bound information systems in your company such as intelligent ERP or MES. Through various common data exchange standards – TSQL, REST, OPC UA and others – CyberFab Connect can provide: current state of machines and their individual components incl. peripherals past activity records intelligent maintenance (CyberFab Diagnostics) data information on consumption of stock materials and consumables information on planned production interface for importing of production tasks interface for updating of materials stock status CyberFab Connect lets you access data instantly and selectively from all data pools of CyberFab – Performance, Production and Diagnostics.

CyberFab Diagnostics

CyberFab Diagnostics Prevent unexpected downtimes thanks to continuous auto-monitoring of your equipment CyberFab Diagnostics utilizes predictive auto-diagnostics combined with remote access tools to enable targeted service interventions without the need of a prior inspection by a service technician – intelligent service and maintenance. Based on monitoring, storing and analyzing states of system components during operation, the collected data is used to plan maintenance and to enable precise predictions of malfunctions not only based on the current state of a particular part but also of the system as a whole.

CyberFab Performance

CyberFab Performance Measure, analyze & adapt: Get the most out of your machinery by utilizing real-time performance data Achieve your goals in productivity, quality and work safety thanks to continuous monitoring of your machines ‘ performance. Data on consumption of electrical energy, industrial gases and consumables not only allow to identify and correct issues early (e.g. bad quality of gases or plates, errors in cutting programs), but also facilitate timely replenishment of consumables – and thus prevent unnecessary downtimes. Consistent production quality is achieved by monitoring of related machine conditions – e.g. to verify that tool auto-calibration results are good and machine movement is smooth and unobstructed. Safety rules can be reliably adhered to by continuous measuring and analyzing of air quality, noise and other environmental conditions. 

CyberFab Production

CyberFab Production Automate and manage your production with CyberFab Control and CyberFab Manager CyberFab Production incorporates a powerful set of tools for digital automation of the production process on MicroStep cutting machines and MicroStep based production cells. The in-built interconnection of machine’s control system CyberFab Control with the production management suite CyberFab Manager enables a handful of automation features: production jobs can be nested and scheduled automatically based on pre-set requirements and instantaneous status of production machines progress of production jobs is continuously monitored, enabling to trace individual parts throughout the process and update the stock on the fly within a production cell, workstations downstream of the cutting machines can be integrated as well, including logistics between them, having the complete process up to the final product scheduled and monitored Production module contains the actual completion status of all active orders at any given time, and all information and documentation related to ongoing and completed projects.
