Description
The Series 30i CNC control system is designed for high performance machines based on the demands of machine tool manufacturers and machine operators. The control system is ideal for modern, high-performance machines, requiring a large number of axes, multiple channels and complex and extremely fast functions, such as transfer machines, complex machining centres, 5-axis machines and milling/turning centers.
Supported machine configurations
FANUC
CNC controllers are flexible in their application to the machine
tool design where either 5-axis simultaneous or "3 + 2" operation
is involved. Rotary axes can either
manipulate
the tool, the part or a combination of both. Where the productivity
of a machine is enhanced by the design of special heads and tables
relying on a defined plane of rotation, FANUC CNCs are easily
configurable by the Machine Tool Builder.
Fully digital system
Thanks
to the limited number of components, the design of the control
enclosure is simplified and requires a minimum of wiring. If the
control and the display panel are separated,
an optical fibre connection provides guaranteed data exchange at
distances of up to 100 m. A similar optical fibre connection is
also utilized between the control and the drives. Digital
technology throughout ensures that any data transfer can be
performed quickly and error-free.
Integrated PLC/PMC
An
integrated, ultra-fast PMC processor controls and monitors
the rapid and smooth operation of all machine peripheral devices.
The PMC sequence control offers execution speeds of 25 ns/step for
ladder logic programs, up to three of which can be executed at the
same time.
Drive systems
For
optimum machine tool performance, FANUC offers a totally integrated
range of drives and motors. Simple maintenance,
high quality, compact design, exceptional power and efficiency are
key factors inherent in their design.
High-Speed-Ethernet ‘on board'
The Series 30i/31i/32i CNC has an Ethernet interface. This allows the user to integrate the CNC control systems in to a company network. World-wide links can be set up via the Internet. This makes remote diagnosis and maintenance, including online training, possible.
