CNC Training

CNC Simulator & CNC Machining Simulator

Based on the FANUC Series 0i-MODEL F Plus CNC, the FANUC CNC Simulator brings the world’s most popular CNC right into the classroom or shop training room, providing students and trainees with exposure to FANUC CNC controls without the need for a full machine.

The Simulator is an actual FANUC CNC control, so students will become familiar with the look, feel, function and layout of the control as they navigate and program a fully operational CNC control. FANUC’s MANUAL GUIDE i conversational programming interface allows user to graphically generate programs that can be simulated in 3D, prior to being converted back to conventional NC programs and used on machine tools using FANUC controls. Uploading and downloading (read and punch) functions use a Flash ATA interface and USB interface, and DNC functions are supported by Ethernet and a Flash ATA card.

Standard CNC Simulator

The CNC simulator is designed specifically for educational and training purposes, ensuring affordable access to the latest FANUC 0i-MODEL F Plus CNC platform in a compact and portable package, easily integrated into any classroom or training area. Add the screen display function software to take over partial control of the simulator on the PC, via the Ethernet connection.

Features:

  • Switchable mill and lathe system in one simulator
  • 3 Axis milling / 2 axis turning system + 1 spindle
  • Conversational programming and 3D simulation (MGi)
  • Inch / metric switchable
  • 2MB part program storage, with 1,000 registered programs
  • 128 Tool offset pairs (T) and 400 Tool offset pairs (M)
  • Work piece coordinates G52 – G59 + 48 additional on mill
  • 10.4” Color LCD
  • Full QWERTY keyboard
  • USB and Ethernet connectivity
  • Weight: Approx. 12kg – Dimensions: 421mm x 220mm x 608mm (W x D x H)

CNC Machining Simulator: Combine CNC Simulator with CNC Machining Simulation Software

The CNC Machining Simulator carries all the same features as the standard simulator with the addition of an internal PC, which will provide a virtual mill or lathe with real kinematics, allowing the user to view the live machine movement, tooling and part machining. Tool and workpiece setup is required and colored back plot, collision detection and sound bring the machine operating experience to life. Software only version is also available for self install and connection to the standard CNC simulator via ethernet.

Features:

  • NC: Oi‐F 3 axis Mill or 2 axis Lathe, switchable at reboot
  • IPC: Pentium Processor N4200 1.1Ghz Quad core, 8GB RAM, 32GB SSD
  • Ports: 4 USB 3.0
  • HDMI display
  • Software included: Windows 10, Machining SimulationFASBacCNC
  • Brackets
  • User supplies: Monitor, keyboard & mouse

Robodrill

The new ROBODRILL Plus offers a wide range of advantages in terms of speed, performance, ease of use and automation. In the vertical machining center arena, it’s truly a game changer for companies looking to maximize productivity and stay competitive.

Standard models include:

  • Rigid design and a rugged cast cross table
  • Easy maintenance thanks to direct access to all components
  • Easy operation thanks to quick and simple, intuitive set-up options
  • New iHMI for utmost user friendliness and full maintenance planning
  • Dedicated maintenance screen – easy instructions ensure quick recovery if, for example, zero points are lost due to incorrect operator input
  • Early issue detection thanks to an integrated early warning system providing enhanced quality assurance
  • 70 Bar center through coolant pressure for non-step deep and small diameter hole drilling
  • Flexibility at any time thanks to a wide range of components to suit your needs including rotary and tilting tables

CNC Education Curriculum

Comprehensive Curriculum

FANUC America offers two comprehensive CNC curriculum for machining (milling) and turning (lathe), including key concepts and lessons for machining center setup, programming and operation. Since more manufacturers trust their operations to FANUC CNC’s than any other control platform, it’s important that students and workers become FANUC CNC certified.

CNC Software

CNC Guide Academic Package

The CNC Guide academic package is FANUC CNC software running on a PC. CNC Guide is ideal for dedicated training rooms or development teams and is available with a single or multi-seat licenses. CNC Guide provides a realistic operation and part programming environment so students can write, test and optimize programs without taking a machine out of production. CNC Guide supports both conventional G-code programming including canned cycles and custom macros and MANUAL GUIDE i, FANUC's conversational programming.

CNC Machining Simulation for Workforce Development

FANUC’s Machining Simulation for Workforce Development offers virtual training on FANUC controls operation, part programming and more. The realistic simulation software, powered by ModuleWorks, can be operated now as 5-axis and 3-axis mills or a 2-axis lathe. Our platform creates a digital twin of the machine tool and simulates the cutting process. Using actual CNC position data, the digital twin provides an accurate and realistic depiction of actual machine behavior.
