Conversational 8055i TC/MC CNC's from FAGOR AUTOMATION

The most outstanding feature of FAGOR AUTOMATION's CNC systems is their operating friendliness, simple and intuitive, which gives them a competitive edge widely acknowledged by our customers. There are standard models with ISO and high level programming with the possibility of conversational programming that make them adaptable to both single-part work and long runs.

Conversational CNC's from FAGOR AUTOMATION (8055iTC/MC) may be adapted to the usual work method of a shop and have been designed to make intuitive programming easier for the operator; they have an interactive editor based on operations associated with each one of the processes that make up the machining of a part. The previous graphic simulation helps verify each operation and correct the data entered.

The system is programmed very easily. All the automatic operations have an interactive help, geometry defining area and other areas to set the machining conditions of the roughing and finishing stages with several editing levels or types of cycles with their own screen. This minimizes the preparation time; and any operator, without previous programming knowledge, can operate the CNC and carry out typical operations efficiently.

Its intelligent profile editor, similar to an integrated mini CAD, helps create profiles without the need for complex calculations by directly entering the values and parameters of the part, run a previous simulation and machine the part defined. If the part is too complicated, the preparation may be faster than when using an external CAD-CAM.

Telediagnosis and Setup Assistance On FAGOR AUTOMATION CNC's

FAGOR AUTOMATION has developed the Telediagnosis option to remotely control all the incidences that may occur on the machine.

Just connect the CNC with the PC of the Technical Department via the internet through a modem. This way, the technician, from his work table and at his own PC can remotely manipulate and observe the system status (CNC-drives-motors). This functionality may be used to detect PLC program errors, do a setup, or change parameters (CNC, motors mad drives), saving in travel expenses and labor of the technicians and minimizing machine down time by receiving assistance and error diagnosis immediately.

In order to facilitate the setup, it offers assistance such as the oscilloscope function and the circular geometry test.

The Oscilloscope function shows the response of the axes in time. With this feature, the signals may be seen directly at the CNC. (variables of regulation, path, feedback, etc.) without requiring external devices to check the status and facilitate the adjustments of the machine. The advantage of this feature is that the setup and the troubleshooting of incidences are faster and the diagnosis easier (even remotely) because the signals generated by the oscilloscope may be sent by fax or email.

The Circular Geometry Test may be used to cheek the behavior of the axes when doing a circle by enlarging the measuring errors of the axes. This function helps detect mechanical misadjustments and check the performance of the electronic equipment quickly while saving on additional devices.
