8060 CNC System

Designed specifically with the intent of bringing Aerospace quality technology to the small and mid-size machines, the Fagor 8060 CNC is equipped with proprietary advanced features necessary for high speed machining, while maintaining the best machining surface finish while providing maximum accuracy.   

 

Each 8060 is offered with a  10.4” high resolution LCD TFT Color or touch screen, Ethernet, USB and Tele-Diagnosis capability. The 8060 can control up to 6 axes + 3 separate spindles with 2 different execution channels and includes auto-tuning system set-up capability.   8060 performance ability includes block processing speeds of < 1 ms while analyzing the tool path with advanced high speed block look ahead utilizing nano-metric resolution.   This combined with the Fagor Adaptive Real-time Feed & Speed control (ARFS) the CNC analyzes the machining conditions such as Spindle load, servo power, tool tip temperature and adapts both the axis feedrate and the spindle speed for maximum machining performance productivity.  The result is a reduction of cycle time coupled with a superior part finish.  Extended Spindle & Servo motor life is also accomplished as well as improved tool utilization.

 

Also equipped with the HSSA (High Speed Surface Accuracy) machining system the user receives a double benefit of reduced mechanical stress on the machine, thus increasing machine tool lifespan utilizing 3 different submodes of performance. FAST, for providing best performance in high speed machining speeds up to 2000 inches per minute. CONTERROR, for precise cutting that provides the best surface finish and optimized programmed cutting speeds. And the SURFACE submode for a calculated perfect balance between speed and surface finish.   

 

The on-board bode diagram tool allows the measurement of the machines frequency response, thus allowing the possibility to actually filter the machine vibrations incurred by the various operating conditions and environment.    

 

The 8060 institutes an HSC Dynamic Override feature that allows the user to adjust the HSC Dynamic Override via the mouse, or right/left arrow keys. Accessed via a toggle key, the override can be adjusted at anytime during the cycle execution process.  

 

HSC override will dynamically change the axes acceleration and jerk limits in real time by the user to allow for best performance. There is also a variable that will allow for in-program changes by the operator. In addition, via machine parameter, the OEM can define the range allowed for override to ensure the machine is not compromised.  

CAD/CAM generated programs used to design parts commonplace in the Aerospace market are large and require a specific CNC System treatment in order to obtain the maximum speed with the desired precision. The solution implemented by the 8060 CNC system to process CAD/CAM generated programs consist of the combination of splines and polynomial transitions as well as the interpretation of the NURB format utilized by CAD/CAM programs. This process helps achieve high feedrate machining while maintaining the accuracy required by all geometries to be machined, thus decreasing cycle execution time substantially.  

 

Ethernet communication allows the 8060 to be quickly and easily set-up as another node within the computer network, thus data exchange is fast and easy. The 8060 also contains the capability of executing a program residing on another PC, through the Ethernet port, thus increasing your shop floor flexibility.  

 

All of this technology is combined with Fagor Automations exclusive IIP Programming (Interactive Icon-based Pages) Conversational Programming made popular by the 8055 CNC series. The ICON key based conversational programming method simplifies programming by allowing the operator to choose the operation based upon an operation associated ICON key. The operator simply enters in the data directly off the blueprint, hence, no prior CNC programming experience is required.  As with prior Fagor CNC systems, the ICON key brings the customer a single graphic assist screen that contains all variables necessary for the operation including finishing pass variables, thus eliminating the need to shuffle through various screen pages to input your machining variable data. Fast & easy operation is also accomplished utilizing an easy pop-up browsing operation philosophy ensuring your navigation through the CNC capability is simple and straightforward. Custom browsing is also allowed in which you have the ability to filter the information the operators wish to utilize and hide other non-essential information. In addition, a free PC Simulator is available online for download, thus allowing complete part program creation from any PC workstation.

 

Solid Graphics are standard with all 8060 controls with an option for HD Graphics. Graphics is available in both Simulation and Execution modes and allows for part rotation, zoom capabilities and simultaneous multi-view screens including viewing part cross-sections across various parallel or perpendicular planes. Graphics mode allows for quick and easy definition of the part stock and allows for presetting of the part views to be displayed.   

 

Another advanced feature is the Remote machining control utilizing the Fagor “Process Informer” application, that allows automatic notification to your phone or email of program stoppage or error during lights-out operations.  

 

Additional features include automatic on-board DXF file conversion.  Plus, the 8060 has the ability to automatically convert programs generated from older Fagor CNC models, hence the ability to continue to utilize proven programs. You are even allowed to edit in the old format before the on-board conversion to the 8060. The CNC also integrates the complete manual set directly into the CNC and is accessible through various help menus with automatic prompts to the pertinent information.
