In the beginning, today's PACE team, a 'spin-off' of CYBELEC, was in charge of the design and development of several CNC
systems for sheet-metal machining equipment such as press-brakes,
shears, tube bending, clicking press and robot controls for their ex employer. The team designed the
CNC software, developed its real-time task monitor, its supervisor, the DNC link and
contributed to define the man-machine interface. The worlds first CNC system featuring electronic-hydraulic regulation and synchronisation of the power cylinders was designed by Denis Poisat and implemented by CYBELEC. This system is still in use in present-day series. The work for their ex employer was also the subject of an report published at the international conference "Journées d'électronique" 1985 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The common effort together with their ex employer produced the CNC 5000, CNC 6000, CNC 7000, DNC 7000 GRAPHIC, CNC 300, CNC ROBOT AID models, thousands of which were subsequently sold throughout the world. |

PACE developed the electronic mail program for the HERMES 60 and
61 word-processing software for From 1987 to 1989, in close collaboration, BALMER INFORMATIQUE Sàrl., PACE and VOLET designed and realised the "ready-to-use" APOLLON CNC based on a multiprocessor system with programmable automata for the coil winder transfer lines in the manufacture of electric coils, for the firm SARCEM in Geneva. At the same time, the BALMER INFORMATIQUE Sàrl & PACE team was in charge of the development of a CNC for tool measuring for the firm of GALLAY in Geneva. |

Over the last 15 years, PACE consultant specialists work for the
international firm CHARMILLES TECHNOLOGIES. They were
involved namely in the development of control software for the machine axes, of the CAM
display interface software OPTICT and of the
programmable automata used for the tool manipulator EROWA.
They were also active in the maintenance of the diagnostic software of all CHARMILLES
TECHNOLOGIES machines. In 1990, CHARMILLES TECHNOLOGIES appointed Denis Poisat to the position of consulting group leader
for the development of CNC software for the high end machine FORM
1000 and the volume machine PACE also developed, and later, maintained the |

In her capacity as consultant specialist, from 1989 until the present
day, Sylvie Bercovici has been working on several projects for CHARMILLES TECHNOLOGIES , namely, on the adaptation of
the series 16-W CNC of FANUC
(Japan) for use in the 300 and 500 series EDM wire
machines, as also on a new "submerge" wire machine which was presented as a
world "premiere" at JIMTOF in Tokyo in November 1996 and at the EMO in Hanover
in September 1997. Similarly, in collaboration with the firms CHARMILLES TECHNOLOGIES and NASSOVIA in Langen (Germany), Martin Gansner was involved in the design, the development and the adaptation of the power interface for the CHARMILLES spark generator (BOOSTERS) to the ECKELMANN CNC on "OPTIMAT" high end die-sinking machine. |
