CNC machine shops rarely have a uniform collection of machines.  More typically a shop will have a mix of brands, capabilities, and machine age suited to the various work cell needs.  That is why at Harmoni and have built our devices to be highly adaptable.  Regardless of the machine, each Harmoni terminal has everything you need built-in – no additional servers needed.

We ❤️ All Machines

We have built-in drivers to talk to everything from the newest 5-axis machines to the oldest manual mills.

Our built-in connectors can handle anything you want to connect: RS232, ethernet, USB, CAN bus, 1-wire, and more.

FANUC FOCAS

For machines with FANUC controls, Harmoni includes a powerful FANUC FOCAS driver.  This driver provides us with rich details coming from the machine and powerful ways to load programs, settings, offsets, etc.

HAAS RS-232

We also have a driver for HAAS controls with RS-232 machine data collection.  No additional hardware is required as each Harmoni device has all connectivity built-in.  This same connection can also be used for program loading.

Analog

Each Harmoni device has 5 analog inputs that can be used to determine machine state when no other driver is suitable.  Especially for very old machines, this option provides a way to bring modern capabilities without replacing the machine.  Typically the approach here would be to tap into the same lines that power the machines andon light and map those to states within Harmoni.

MTConnect

Each Harmoni device has a MTConnect driver so if your machine has that capability, we simply point to the machine address.  The Harmoni device can also act as a means of translating non-MTConnect feeds to that standard.

OPC UA

Harmoni also includes an OPC UA server.  This allows you to integrate with machines (Siemens for example) that use this standard without the hassle of setting up additional servers to collect the data.  The Harmoni terminal handles everything for you.
