The drilling machine, developed along the directions of a known producer of discs for marble-cutting, features:

1. Positioning of 2 linear axes and 3 rotating axes, for a total of 5 axes controlled both in position and speed

2. Custom working logic

3. User-friendly interface

To achieve this, the first two steps have been developed on a PLC device with axis control modules (interpolated two-by-two) while the user interface has been developed using VisualStudio 2003 with Framework .Net 1.1 and deployed ona 400MHz Celeron PC fitted with a touch-screen and Windows 200 SP3 as operating system. The software allows the complete management of toolings and programs, the manual setup of the I/Os and extensive assistance when drilling a disc.
