CNCs & ROBODRILL Machine Tools for Education

The latest in the line up of educational CNC equipment is the EDU mill. Lightweight and portable, the rigid gantry style machine runs on 110VAC and is ideal for cutting wood, plastic and metals. The machine is equipped with the new FANUC 0i-F Plus Control and features a single tool spindle with automatic tool measurement.

Teach with a top of the line CNC Milling Machine utilizing FANUC 0i-MF hardware that is both affordable and portable and runs on only a standard single phase 110vAC outlet. Help your students gain exposure to milling practices including machine programming, set up and operation with a small classroom footprint.

Designed for classrooms and small machine shops that need a complete CNC solution in a limited space. Utilizing the FANUC 0i-TF control, the LTC-F30 is capable of 24/7 industrial production of small parts in a variety of materials ranging from plastics to soft metals

FANUC America offers two comprehensive CNC curriculum for machining (milling) and turning (lathe), including key concepts and lessons for machining center setup, programming and operation. Since more manufacturers trust their operations to FANUC CNC’s than any other control platform, it’s important that students and workers become FANUC CNC certified. Please contact your Education Sales Representative for more information.

The CNC Guide academic package is FANUC CNC software running on a PC. CNC Guide is ideal for dedicated training rooms or development teams and is available with a single or multi-seat licenses. CNC Guide provides a realistic operation and part programming environment so students can write, test and optimize programs without taking a machine out of production. CNC Guide supports both conventional G-code programming including canned cycles and custom macros and MANUAL GUIDE i, FANUC's conversational programming.

FANUC’s Machining Simulation for Workforce Development offers virtual training on FANUC controls operation, part programming and more. The realistic simulation software, powered by ModuleWorks, can be operated now as 5-axis and 3-axis mills or a 2-axis lathe. Our platform creates a digital twin of the machine tool and simulates the cutting process. Using actual CNC position data, the digital twin provides an accurate and realistic depiction of actual machine behavior.

DN Solutions' LEO is a small footprint 2-axis lathe with big capabilities. The LEO 1600 offers a 6” chuck and the largest machining area in its class. This horizontal turning center offers a rigid design, reliable spindle, and an 8 tool turret. The LEO 1600 is controlled by a DN Solutions' FANUC 0i-F Plus control with 10.4” LCD. The operation panel enhances operating convenience by incorporating common-design buttons, layout, and features for fast and easy operation.

DN Solutions' DEM series is a compact vertical machining center for 3-axis general machining with high rigidity structure. This model is designed with a 22” x 16” bed which is very suitable for basic cutting processing. The DEM 4000 is controlled by a DN Solutions' FANUC 0i-F Plus control with 10.4” LCD. The operation panel enhances operating convenience by incorporating common-design buttons and layout, and features the Qwerty keyboard for fast and easy operation.

The new-generation ROBODRILL promises unrivaled quality and precision. Excellent repeatability make the ROBODRILL ideally suited for milling, drilling, tapping, and boring with flexibility, versatility, and reliability.  The ROBODRILL incorporates the latest FANUC servo motor technology and uses the world’s most reliable CNC. Specific education packages have been configured for the needs of educational institutes teaching 3 axis and 5 axis machining, robotic machine tending, and Connected Smart Manufacturing. This ensures students are learning on the latest CNC technology.
