ABSTRACT:
The machine control system for a multi-spindle machine (10) includes a controller (42). The controller is operative to avoid machine down time by shutting down operation of the main drive motor (12) of the multi-spindle machine responsive to malfunctions as detected by a plurality of sensors. A controller is also readily programmable to modify the high and low shift points to optimize cycle times. The controller is further connectable to an administrative workstation (188) which includes a database (190) for producing a variety of analytical reports related to performance of the machine.
