Posted: March 29, 2016

The extremely intuitive Acu-Rite MILLPWR G2 CNC control from Heidenhain is one of the easiest-to-operate systems for vertical knee mills on the market, with simplified navigation that eliminates multiple menu screens. It is programmed with easy-to-understand plain language that clearly describes each cycle step, creating an instinctive interface that maximizes efficiency and increases production.

Acu-Rite | Heidenhain Corporation (Schaumburg, IL) offers their MILLPWR G2 CNC control for milling machines. This control is one of the simplest and easiest-to-operate CNC for vertical knee mills on the market, even more powerful than its well-known MILLPWR predecessor. Extremely intuitive, the programming on the MILLPWR G2 control is done via easy-to-understand plain language user prompts that are accompanied by 3D graphic “Help” forms that clearly describe each cycle step, creating an instinctive interface that maximizes efficiency and increases production. Using simplified navigation that eliminates multiple menu screens, the MILLPWR G2 has continued the spirit of the original MILLPWR while improving on its wildly popular interface and functionality by maintaining the same programming language and incorporating an all new “Powerful Easy” navigation system.
