The FANUC CNC simulator is a perfect addition to the classroom and an essential component to gain maximum exposure to FANUC CNC controls when actual machine time is limited. Based on the FANUC 0iF platform, the simulator will allow you at power on to switch between milling and turning configurations to teach programming, navigation, and operation on the world’s most popular CNC control. Simple configurations make it easy to learn how to operate and edit data on a modern FANUC control. FANUC’s MGi conversational interface allows user to graphically generate programs that can be simulated in 3D, prior to being converted back to conventional NC programs to be used on machine tools using FANUC controls. Uploading and downloading (read and punch) functions are facilitated by means of the standard Flash ATA interface and USB interface, and DNC functions are supported by Ethernet and Flash ATA card.
Students can perform operations and programming exercises away from the machine and then simply take the program to the machine. Features such as FANUC’s dual-screen display are standard features, so with additional PC software instructors can replicate the screen of the simulator on a PC, via the Ethernet connection for instructor-led classes on a projector.
For students advancing to a smaller job shop or tool room, user-friendly MANUAL GUIDE i conversational programming simplifies and enhances their productivity. This innovative part programming operation environment focuses the student on machine operations, rather than just Gcode, allowing a job to be completed in the shortest time possible.
The FANUC CNC Certified Education Training program is an industry certification available to qualified high schools, community colleges, and universities. The program certifies instructors at educational institutions to train their students to program, set-up and operate CNC machine tools using FANUC’s control platform.
The NEW FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S Fenceless CERT Cart was developed from combining FANUC DCS Position and Speed Check software with an Allen Bradley SafeZone Mini Safety Laser Scanner. The result is FANUC’s NEW Fenceless Cart that will still fit through a standard door and runs off 110V power. The Fenceless cart allows a greater work envelope and introduces students to the latest in integrated safety products from FANUC and Allen Bradley.
The Levil CNC certification milling cart enables students to gain exposure to milling practices, including on-machine programming, set up and operation. The small footprint with easy access allows portability, eliminating intimidation that much larger machines can impose on students when first entering CNC programs. The portable machine runs on a standard single-phase 110vAC outlet and is capable of being moved from classroom to classroom through a standard doorway.
