Since 1974, Sharnoa has been developing and manufacturing control equipment specially for automation in the mechanical and electronics industries. The company has specialized in the CNC market, pioneering worldwide the development of numerical controls for machine tools.
Sharnoa has always been on the cutting edge in advancement of CNC technologies, from the simple open loop, then to the DC closed loop, and now to the present stage of digital closed loop servo system controls.
Sharnoa aims its product at sophisticated and complex part manufacturers in the Mold & Die, Aerospace, Medical, Toys, Electronics, High-Tech, and the Automotive industries.
To meet the special needs of these diverse industries Sharnoa activities include the design and development of quality machining centers that include vertical and horizontal machines for standard, heavy milling, high speed machining, and graphite electrode applications, with table travels ranging in sizes from 20 to 120 inches X-axis (500mm-3000mm), 14 to 63 inches Y-axis (350mm-1600mm), and 16 to 40 inches Z-axis (400mm-1016mm).
To date, Sharnoa Group has sold thousands of machining centers throughout the USA, Europe, and the Far-East. All are equipped with Sharnoa's controls, the most recent having Sharnoa's 3-D CNC Tiger 7 control developed by Sharnoa and representing a totally new concept in the CNC industry.
The flexibility of the Sharnoa control enables the user to find easy, ready-made programming tools suitable for complicated and simple production parts, with powerful capabilities to provide solutions for the most demanding manufacturing enviroment.
Tiger 7 features include: The latest version of industrial PC computers operating in a Windows environment. High speed machining up to 50 m/min (2000 ipm) - geometry dependent. Optimized self-controlled velocity for smooth 3-D cutting. Advanced look-ahead feed forward and S-curve algorithms for high speed contouring to achieve excellent surface finishes. Extremely high speed processing of large CAM programs with no size limitations. Networking support. Multitasking capability and background editing. Another pioneering development of Sharnoa is the Laser Digitizing system. This system, designed and developed by Sharnoa, incorporates a non-contact Laser Probe and sophisticated software. Sharnoa Laser Digitizing Systems are integrated hardware and software systems used to obtain surface information from an existing model and then generate tool paths to reproduce the model. With the flexibility of the system, users can perform various transformations such as scaling, male to female conversion, and reverse engineering.
