iXpanel

iXpanel: Your Gateway to Seamless Machine Integration in Your Business

Focus on production and control with Industry 4.0 capabilities. INDEX's iXpanel® operating system goes beyond seamless network integration, offering extensive operator support and limitless data communication.

iXpanel prioritizes efficient machine control for maximum productivity during workpiece machining. It also establishes a direct link between machine control and the company's operations department.

iXpanel features cutting-edge control systems like Siemens S840D sl, FANUC 31iB, and TRAUB TX8i-s V8. It includes an 18.5"/15'' widescreen touchscreen monitor, perfect for advanced 3D simulations, along with a dedicated mini-computer software tailored to provide real-time information and support to machine operators.

Digital Information and Data Network for Paperless Production

On the right-hand side, there's a vertical control panel featuring an ABC keyboard, number pad, cursor keys, and various function keys. Among these, there's the 'i4.0 button' that, when touched, switches the control panel to an activity-oriented display.

Numerous enhancements have been added to sections like Production, Setup, Programming, Maintenance, General, and Diagnostics. iXpanel allows operators to seamlessly switch between the standard control view and this 'second page' with activity-oriented functions whenever needed.

Furthermore, a full-page view of PDF formats and intuitive touchscreen navigation/zoom functions ensure secure information transfer.

Enhancements and Upgrades

Tailor and expand iXpanel as needed to optimize your manufacturing process.
