Colibri

Description

Colibrì is a Motion Controller for CNC machines based on stepping motors or brushless motors with a max of 6 axes where the rotational axes refer to the rotation of the piece to work on the rotating table.
Colibrì finds application in the management of CNC pantographs, laser cutting machines, plasma cutting machines, 3d sticker depositions, work centers and 6 axes miling machines, 3d modeling machines and CNC multi-head machines.

Colibrì can work starting the works through a pc or in an automatic way without the use of a PC.
Infact Colibrì avails of a sd memory which contains the works to execute and a dedicated keypad.
Through the keypad it's possible to start works placed in memory, move the axes and even more.
Other than the keypad, it's possible to move the handwheel which can move with precision the axes.

Colibrì avails of customizable user inputs and outputs which can manage the cooling or an eventual automated tools' warehouse. Even without an automated tools warehouse it's possible to manage a tools warehouse with a manual or automatic tool change.

Thanks to the probe with colibrì is possible to execute 3d scans of surfaces.
The scan permits to get a cloud of dots which can be directly imported on CAM softwares which permits the successive elaboration of these dots and so the reconstruction of the scanned surface.
Thanks to this reconstruction is possible to execute incisions on surfaces with anomalous forms or reproduce the scanned pieces.
