Dragon A-400 Machine Control Screen

  • The Dragon A-400 has a Machine Control screen similar to the A-150's Operator Panel, but will be accessible directly from the laptop/PC screen for use with the machine. This machine control screen will be used by the operator to jog different axes, home the machine, start any projects, check the status of any project and emergency stop the machine when necessary.
