Designed for seamless integration with the Mitsubishi Electric M6 Series NC control, this MTConnect-compliant, IMA Citizen M6 Adapter captures live machine data, empowering manufacturers to make smarter, faster decisions without replacing existing equipment.

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. (Mitsubishi Electric Automation) has announced the launch of its Integrated Machine Analytics (IMA) Citizen M6 Adapter, a powerful new software solution designed to bring real-time visibility and data-driven insights to legacy Citizen CNC machines.

The IMA Citizen M6 Adapter enables manufacturers to remotely monitor critical machine data by capturing Numerical Control (NC) information directly from the M6 control system. This MTConnect-compliant adapter is compatible with select Citizen Swiss-type lathes manufactured between 2001 and 2007, including the C16-VI, L20-VIII, M16, and M32 models.

"This adapter bridges the gap between legacy equipment and modern smart manufacturing," said David Simak, Product Manager (Service) at Mitsubishi Electric Automation. "It empowers users with real-time analytics and remote monitoring capabilities, helping them make faster, more informed decisions on the shop floor."

Once installed on the NC hard drive, the IMA Citizen M6 Adapter transmits live machine data to an MTConnect Agent, which translates it into a standardized format. This data is then displayed numerically and graphically via a client application, giving users actionable insights into machine performance.

The IMA Citizen M6 Adapter is available now. To learn more about this product, visit https://us.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/en/solutions/engineered/software-solutions/cnc-software-solutions/imaa/.
