The Global 400mp is remarkably simple to use and has a very short learning curve.
Customers often ask, what is the primary difference between the Global 400 and a Global 400mp? After all, both have similar operations and both can support up to 4 operators working with one controller. The difference is simple. If you have an operator with a lot of tools in one station, the Global 400 is the ideal solution. If you have up to four operators in an assembly cell, then the Global 400mp is likely to be the best choice. Why?
In the Global 400, P-Sets are placed in groups. All operators must complete their work before the group can advance to the next work instruction. In essence, the slowest operator controls the pace of the group. In the Global 400mp, there are no groups. Operators work independently. They don't even have to work on the same job. It truly is as if they all worked out of their own controller.
The Global 400mp comes with Global Manager Freeware. Global Manager Freeware is used to set up parameters and jobs in each of the interfaces. Parameter and job specifications can also be set up at the Global 400mp using the soft keypads. The Global 400mp is both key and password protected. This eliminates any inadvertent parameter or job changes made at the tool level.
