Cincinnati "Acramatic IV" CNC Machine Process Control Integrated Circuit (1966)

Item #867
In 1965, Cincinnati Milacron's Controls Division (CIMTROL) introduced the "Acramatic IV", the first numeric machine process controller in the industry to use Integrated Circuit Electronics. A computerized numeric controller (CNC) is a programable device that processes the multi-axis movements of a machine's tool feed.
One Integrated Circuit logic card in the Acramatic IV numeric controller replaced as many as ten circuit boards in earlier machine process controllers.
Using high-speed lC's the new Acramatic IV was 100 times faster than the fastest comparable systems of the time, with cycle times reduce to just 0.00035 seconds.
Besides being much faster, Integrated Circuits also made the Acramatic IV system smaller & more reliable than previous systems.
In 1974, Cincinnati Milacron introduced the world's first computer-controlled industrial robot, the T3.
This Tie clip promoting the Acramatic IV features an Integrated Circuit chip set in a 10-lead gold surface-mount package.
Back of tie clip is marked "Cincinnati Acramatic IV".
