FANUC is the world leader in CNC and factory automation, with more than 3 million CNCs installed worldwide. The 3xi, 0i-F and 35i Series CNC systems boast the industry's longest Mean-Time-Between-Failure rate and a lifetime commitment to replacement part availability and support. Naturally, there are significant differences between these FANUC CNC systems which should be taken into consideration when choosing the best control for a machine tool retrofit.
Since the very first FANUC open-architecture control was released in the early '90s, CNC Engineering has been developing custom PC-based software to capitalize on the additional power available and fulfill customers’ needs.
In the market for a rotary table? The checklist of requirements starts with speed, accuracy and rigidity. Will it be used for contour machining? Do you need high-speed indexing for high-volume parts? What features and capabilities will help in the short and long term within the industries your company serves?
CNC Engineering is now offering W/Z Tracking as an option to our Open Vision HMI software package. Designed as a solution to run a G&L-like W/Z tracking application on FANUC controls, our solutions mimics both the functionality and operation of the original software. To increase efficiency, special operator screens were developed to allow the operator to monitor all axes positions on the main screen.
