SOFTWARE The control software for EWA tools runs on Windows 7 or higher, preferably on an industrial PC. This software provides the communication to the machine tool control via Ethernet and to the EWA fine boring head via Bluetooth ® . The Bluetooth ® connection is established thanks to a magnetic antenna directly connected to the PC, and placed inside the working area of the machine tool. The main function of the control software is to synchronize the machining process with the automatic tool adjustment by sending information from the machine tool to the EWA and vice-versa. Additional functions include: • Semi-automatic control of the EWA by manually introducing adjustment data in the software
• EWA tool configuration • System configuration • Detailed information on error codes (e.g. battery low, tool blocked, etc.)
• Reading log file of the EWA tool • Installation support functions The software is prepared for communication with the most common controls by Fanuc, Heidenhain and Siemens. Communication to other control types is currently in development.
