FANUC CNC Options

FANUC Part Program Memory

• Increase memory space allocated for storage of part programs
• Allows larger programs to be created or revised at the machine
• Reduces need to delete programs to free up space if the program must be reloaded for use later

FANUC Background edit

• Create or revise a part program while another part program is running the machine
• Upload or download programs while another program is running the machine
• Save valuable setup time by allowing the operator to prepare for the next part while the current program is running

FANUC Expanded program editing

• Enhance part programming capabilities
• Provides copy, merge, move, and replace functions
• Reduce edit time when creating or revising part programs at the machine

FANUC Registered part program additions

• Increase number of programs that can be stored in program memory
• Most controls store up to 63 programs; however, some can be increased to as many as 1000 programs
• Especially beneficial if using many small part programs, sub-programs or macro programs

FANUC Custom Macro / FANUC Custom Macro B

• Expands part programming language
• Includes program flow control, math and logic functions, and local and system variables
• Easily create your own custom cycles or parametric family parts program
• Error-proof processes and data entry
• Imagine how a clever programmer could improve your machining processes

Applications for Probing:

• Access to machine position after probe triggers
• Variables to store data and calculated values
• Arithmetic functions to calculate new values
• Access to offset tables and other CNC system data
• Logic and part program flow to make decisions on impact of measurement
• Alert operator if problem condition

High-speed skip

• High-speed electronic circuits with high-priority CNC function to accurately record position when probe trips
• Aborts remaining axis motion after probe trips
• Stores axes positions in Custom Macro Variables
• Automatic compensation for lag, even during acc/dec
• 0.1 msec probe signal detection
• Series 15/16/18 - 8 inputs
• Series 21/0 - 1 input

Coordinate system rotation

• G68 rotates the 3D coordinate system by a specified number of degrees
• Simplify programming a part with a repeated & rotated shape (i.e. fan blade)

Work coordinate system

• G54 - G59 simplifies part setup
• Offset values sets (6 preset work coordinate systems) can be selected from the program
• 48 additional work offsets available
• Simplifies programming by shifting program zero relative to machine zero

Helical interpolation

• Synchronizes the circular motion of 2 axes with the linear move of another axis
• Useful for thread milling, or milling large holes with small tools

Data server or remote buffer

• Avoid data starvation when drip feeding large programs through a serial port in DNC mode by adding a high-speed  communication board
• Board provides separate CPU (Data Server Function uses FTP to transfer NC data or to operate the DNC; Remote Buffer Card is with  RS232C/RS422 ports and memory space for serial port data buffering)
• Capable of continuous running large part programs in DNC mode at same speed as if the program was stored in internal memory

High speed machining

• Most machines are designed for either high speed or high accuracy
• High speed machining options provide look ahead, enhanced acc/dec control, and automatic feedrate control to increase both speed and accuracy
• Higher machining speed reduces part cycle time and increases production capacity of the machine
