PANEL PRO

DESCRIPTION OF THE PANEL PRO 4824a
The purpose of the Panel Pro is to route complex assemblies of lines, points, circles,
and arcs in sheet aluminum. It accomplishes this by reading a dxf file generated by
popular computer aided drafting programs. This is especially useful since commonly
used shapes such as instrument cutouts can be drawn and stored for subsequent
combination into various instrument panels. The machine is also useful to fabricate
various adapters and brackets that have many corners and cutouts.
Panel Pro 4824a system is comprised of the Controller, the software, and the machine.
The SC2b Controller is the interface between the computer and the machine. It
controls:
•
x and y stepper motor 48vdc drive and power
•
Switched GFCI protected ac power for the coolant pump and spindle motor.
•
12vdc output to control the z axis solenoid valve
AvCAM software is the operating software. The software is the key to the entire
system. It generates all of the control signals to control the Panel Pro. Also included
with the system is EasyCAD Ver 7.5x and the Drawing library which is an extensive
library of predrawn instrument panels and instruments.
