Fagor Automation Corp. has improved the 8055 Power series control designed to bring simplicity to high performance CNC machines and now offered for custom applications including Gear Hobbing & Grinding applications.
Designed for the medium to high performance machine tool market, the 8055 Power is available in a Modular or Compact design and available in up to 7 axes applications. Each 8055 Power CNC comes equipped with a high resolution Color LCD Monitor, full alphanumeric keyboard, USB port and a minimum of 512MB compact flash.
The 8055 Power CNC was designed to provide the high performance required for performance machine tools, yet maintain an extremely simple programming system when utilized in Shop-Floor Programming applications. This was accomplished by adding the well known ICON key conversational System to the well established ISO G-code programming system, By allowing the ability to combine both programming systems, customer flexibility on the manufacturing floor itself has been increased dramatically. With Ethernet capability, the customer can easily upload/download large G-code programs from the CAD/CAM department, yet also walk up to the CNC and create complex parts directly from the keyboard in a matter of just a few minutes. The Fagor On-board mini-CAD/CAM (Profile Editor) system allows the customer to create complex profiles directly from the blueprint in only a matter of a few minutes. The Profile Editor will not just create the profile, but will also automatically create the appropriate G-code and insert it into the program, or you can save the profile as a frequently utilized subroutine with just the push of a single button.
The Fagor 8055 Power has a powerful easy to use built-in Graphics mode that allows the customer to plot in Solid 3D Graphics, solid sectional graphics in multi-plane views simultaneously or in tool path line graphics. This feature can be utilized in simulation mode or in real-time execution mode. In addition a Teach-In mode is included, as well as an Interactive G-code editor that through a series of graphic interfaces makes G-code creation at the keyboard fast and easy.
For custom production environments, the 8055 Power now allows for OEM or Application specific customization. This is accomplished due to the high level parametric programming features coupled with an On-board Graphic editor that allows for easy creation of Custom Editors & Screens. This feature has proven to reduce set-up and even cycle time with dedicated machines in high production environments or specialized application machinery.
It should be noted, the new 8055 models have advanced machining performance by utilizing a new high performance micro-processor coupled with improved machining algorithms, which effectively doubled the processing speeds thus allowing for dramatically faster cycle times and improved part finish.
Utilizing both on-board local PLC I/O and CAN I/O modules, input and output requirements can be built to match the application. The remote CAN modules allow for easy remote machine placement of the modules that best serve the machine tool. The CNC affords the flexibility of Sercos or CAN Digital Servo Control and even the ability of Analog servo control for older machine servo motor systems.
All 8055 Power CNC’s are equipped with a full library of Turning or Milling Canned Cycles plus equipped standard with value added features such as Spindle Synchronization, Scaling Factor, Pattern Repeat, Mirror Imaging Gantry Axes, high level language programming and much more. The CNC 8055 Power was designed to function in perfect harmony with Fagor Digital Servo Motor Systems and Absolute Linear or Rotary Encoder feedback products to ensure that maximum performance in both machine performance and accuracy is achieved.
