CNC, or computer numerical control, gantry machines involve overhanging, bridge-like structures that produce parts over large areas. The CNC coordinates simultaneous motion across multiple axes and sometimes rotary axes. The control must constantly synchronize the axis movement and maintain the tool positioning over large travel distances while executing complex motion paths, including contours, interpolation and 3D profiles. For this reason and more, FANUC CNCs are perfect for gantry applications due to their precision, accuracy and reliability.
CNC, or computer numerical control, grinding is a precision finishing process that removes extremely small amounts of materials from a part. The CNC controls the wheel position, speed, feed and movement very accurately to remove microscopic chips of material. Accuracy is essential to grinding parts that need ultra-tight tolerances, exceptionally smooth surface finishes and perfect geometrical shapes. FANUC CNCs are perfect for grinding applications due to their speed, precision and repeatability.
FANUC CNCs, known for their rock-solid reliability and unbeatable performance, enable CNC gantries to produce parts with exceptional finishes. Thanks to our CNC’s ability to control very accurately the tool’s position while synchronizing multiple axes, manufacturers can experience the full benefits of CNC gantries. The following FANUC controls are perfect for CNC gantry applications.
FANUC 30i‑B Plus CNC enhances 5‑axis machining with faster cycles, advanced controls, and streamlined operation for high-performance machine tools.
FANUC 0i‑F Plus CNC offers reliable performance for multi-control applications, with customizable functions and user-friendly features to boost productivity.
There is a growing need for skilled workers competent in the setup, programming and operation of CNCs. FANUC America provides CNC training tools for manufacturers looking to train in-house using real FANUC equipment without taking a machine tool out of production.
