GruberTech has made quite a few changes to the Autocaster™, Gruber's automated casting machine, over the past year. We've not only made numerous mechanical changes, but have made a significant change in the control system as well. We have converted the operator interface on the Autocaster ™ to a 12"color touch screen, drastically simplifying its use by your plant personnel. Although there are still a few mechanical buttons to push, most of the controls are now on the screen, making them easier to understand and activate as necessary. In addition, we've converted to an exciting new software program that is more operator-friendly. Even more importantly, however, is that the new interface allows for remote viewing. With the full Ethernet option, the information shown on the control panel can be accessed from any screen by simply connecting to the Internet.

Downloading information such as calibration factors and totals directly to Excel on your office computer is an excellent way to track settings and performance. ...And that's not all! By adding the Internet connection, GruberTech's team can actually troubleshoot and do regular software upgrades to your machine, saving time and money! Customers who have already used these options have realized the benefit of our professionals being able to remotely analyze their problems. In most cases, issues have been taken care of immediately, eliminating the need to wait for one of our service representatives to come to their plant. As a security measure, password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to vital settings. Upgrading an existing Autocaster™ requires modification to the main electrical panel, which takes 3-4 days to complete.
