FANUC- For Good! In case you missed it, the 2021 Porter Novelli Purpose Premium Index (PPI) got released before last year ended. As it turns out, most American consumers are no longer pleased with just awesome- they want brands that positively impact the society, too! While this is not an attempt to discuss the Porter Novelli PPI, it is worth noting that as much as 73% of Americans say that companies should show how they’re supporting communities and the environment to win their support. Enter the FANUC Sustainability Report. It lists down and discusses in detail the company’s performance in contributing to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), their social and environmental impact, and corporate governance. And we love seeing good, purposeful companies thrive! While FANUC has not yet seen the revenue it used to pre-pandemic, it’s recovering steadily is on its way back to its former glory. Progress should be overarching- it must be sustainable, inclusive, and making a positive difference. It has become a standard for industry leaders like FANUC to be transparent with where they’re at not only in terms of quality but also in purpose and impact. And although we’re nowhere near the automation giant FANUC, we’re doing what we can to do good for the world. In case you missed it, we’re donating 5% of our Monitech website sales this January to charities supporting the less fortunate. Contact us to learn more about this purposeful initiative!

ANILAM 6000M Software 101 With reference to the ANILAM 6000M CNC Programming and Operations Manual, here’s a quick rundown of the all the ANILAM 6000M software basics. ANILAM 6000M’s controller has different display screens depending on the mode on which it is currently running. It’s important to take note, though, that the procedures and features remain the same. Pop-Up Menus These are temporary menus enabling the operator to make additional selections. Use the arrows on your ANILAM 6000M keypad to move the highlight bar, the enter key to select the highlight option, and the clear key to deactivate the selected function. Screen Saver Pretty much like your typical computer, the ANILAM 6000M display screen goes dim after a certain period of inactivity. Click on any key on the ANILAM 6000M keypad to reactivate it. Clearing Entries Simply press the clear key on the ANILAM 6000M keypad to clear an entry, a line, or a message. Operator Prompts The ANILAM 6000M controller would also prompt the operator should additional information be required. Use the ANILAM 6000M keypad to do so. CursorThe cursor is a white underline that shows where the characters will be inserted. ANILAM 6000M controller uses either a cursor or a highlight bar as an onscreen indicator. Use the arrow keys on the ANILAM 6000M keypad to move the highlight bar. Typing Over and Inserting TextThe Typeover mode is the default setting where the newly typed in characters replace the characters marked by the cursor. In the Insert mode, however, the new characters are inserted where the cursor is, and the existing characters are moved to the right. Press F3 on the function keypad to put the CNC in Insert Mode. Deleting TextUse the cursor to underline the text that ought to be removed and press F4 on the function keypad to proceed with the deletion. Ensure business continuity with Monitech and Take 2’s high-quality yet cost-effective ANILAM 6000M keypad solution- and we have the function keypad to go along with it, too!

ICYMI: SIMATIC MP 377 PRO Phase Out Siemens is one of today’s leading global industrial automation corporations and among their long list of sought-after control and monitoring systems are the highly efficient, innovative, and flexible SIMATIC HMI Panels. This includes the MP 377 Series, which is particularly high-performance. The SIMATIC Multi Panel 377 PRO is suitable wherever you need to automate the operation and control of your machines or industrials plants, although this product family would be best for applications with highly demanding HMI tasks. But did you know that the SIMATIC MP 377 pro 15″ Touch multi panel will soon be off the market? According to the PLM major milestones for SIMATIC Panels on the Siemens website, the SIMATIC MP 377 pro has reached the product phase-out announcement milestone last 2016. This means that the 10-year spare parts warranty has started while the product can still be ordered as a new part. It is, however, not actively marketed anymore. It is worth noting, though, that SIMATIC HMI accessories would remain available throughout the entire lifecycle of the core products. Put simply, the accessories would remain available until the product is cancelled. PLM is a norm and product lines are continuously being replaced and migrated to new ones. But of course, high-quality products usually outlive their respective lifecycle. And if the system functions like a well-oiled machine, why migrate to a whole new product line when it’s not necessary, am I right? And that’s why we’re here- to let you make the most of your machines, especially after the OEM support for them is already over. For the SIMATIC MP 377 pro panel 6AV6644-2AB01-2AX0, for example, Monitech and Take 2 engineered a replacement touchscreen that’s just as reliable- but for lesser cost and better availability. Are you having issues with old machines that you can’t find a solution for? Get in touch with the experts! And don’t forget to stay connected on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news.
