SATELLITE WORK STATION OPTION

COMPUTERIZED CROWNER RETROFIT SYSTEM

 

Except for fully automatic grinders and traveling table grinders, where the FFG cabinet is mounted on the front side of the machine next to the other floor mounted cabinets and operator controls, it is often convenient and necessary to have a redundant work station on the carriage, so that the operator can monitor the screen displays and make keyboard entries from either the FFG floor location, or from the moving carriage.  This is done using a Cybex "Companion" interfacing device to connect an auxiliary keyboard and monitor.  This consists of a transmitter at the FFG computer and a receiver at the remote locationn on the carriage, linked by an extension cable.  An input cable connects the transmitter to the computer, and a 9 VAC transformer powers the receiver.  The schematic is shown on the left along with a picture of the transmitter and receiver front and rear views.  The photo on the right shows a typical satellite work station on a traveling carriage roll grinder.
