GE Fanuc exhibited innovation

Drafting MU15/11/2003

GE Fanuc has many new features, both in the field of CNC, and various engines, software programming, industrial PC and ranges of laser sources. We then see a summary of the most significant.

In the field of controls, GE Fanuc has introduced the most advanced AI Nano CNC for high precision of the new generation that culminates the series 30i model A. The newly-developed software controls up to 40 axes, 24 at the same time, the largest number of axes in sole control of CNC. This new control of ultra high speed has been recently launched to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Fanuc.

Control Series GE Fanuc 30i have the hardware of CNC in greater speed in the world, allowing you to run up to 10 different CNC programs simultaneously. The integrated control of sequence, PMC (Programmable Machine Control), now has speed of execution of 25 ns/step programme of contacts, being able to run 3 programs of contacts at the same time. These features and functionality make the control of the series 30i suitable for most modern machines in the upper range, requiring complex functions of ultra high speed and axes and multiple paths. These machines include models for combined, milling of 5-axis machining, and those that use linear motors.

In order to improve the capacity of machining, new technologies have been introduced in the control. The 30i uses a new ultra high-speed processor, an internal bus speed, control the flow of the servo of greater speed and encoders of 16.000.000 rev-1, as well as interpolation in nanometers. New technologies have enabled faster cycles of interpolation, reading in advancement of 1,000 blocks for control of high-accuracy contour and processing of blocks of 0.4 ms. times 8 times As a result, available surface finishes of high-quality in mould complex, minimizing the necessary polishing after machining.

Also, have been introduced two models of open CNC, offering an optimal combination of CNC and personal computer using high-speed data transfer.

Easy programming at the foot of machine W0813CNC/SP

The latest software of programming at the foot of GE Fanuc machine increases the productivity of the machine tool operators to offer an environment that allows to develop from the level of the piece to the produce of the piece in a short period of time. All GE Fanuc CNCs are easy and fast programming for turning, milling and machining combined using

Manual Guide i. self-explanatory menus and graphical simulation guide the user through the development, by providing results extremely efficient even for complex processes.

Software Manual Guide i of GE Fanuc is a control cycle with an ergonomic operator CNC interface used for programming cycles based on ISO code format. The operator uses a graphical user interface with icons easy to use that they create programs piece interactively in a few steps. All the relevant information appears on a single screen. The user does not have to be constantly changing between different screens at the risk of losing to open at the same time so many screens. It appears always displayed in a window the State of the machine, with the current position, progress and measures of load. Keys (softkeys) screen icons offer an automatic menu selection so that operators, without previous experience of user of GE Fanuc, can quickly use them to create programs piece without any documentation.

The new Manual Guide i combines the features of previous versions independent of Torneado and milling. The user can configure software for a turning, milling and machining combined using a standard software interface. This is very beneficial for workers that they can be familiar only with an operation.

What's new in various engines

GE Fanuc Automation has introduced a new series of engines of head integrated synchronous. The motors are ideal for those clients who wish to design large lathes and machines milling machines that require a high torque at low speeds. The company has also improved its series of asynchronous integrated head engines to provide more torque, more power and speed limits in more compact dimensions. Integrated head engines are ideal to get high speed, high precision and low vibration.

On the other hand, GE Fanuc Automation offers a new series of synchronous servomotors for customers who want to design your own machine tools.

AC servomotors integrated synchronous GE Fanuc's series D is produce a few pairs of turn maximum from 85 Nm to 3000 Nm, according to the model. There are available versions of 200 V or 400 v. The use of powerful rare earth magnets embedded in the rotor has as a result a few pairs of turn higher. This allows angular accelerations of the engines of more than 100,000 º/s² and top speeds between 75 rpm and 400 rpm.

Also, this company has expanded its line of linear motors to offer a wide range of maximum powers and a wider choice of physical dimensions. Properties such as rapid acceleration, high speed, minimum wear and high levels of precision are linear engines as ideal for a wide range of machine tools and other specialized machinery of high productivity.

Industrial PC and laser packages

Another novelty that I can see in its stand is a new powerful and installable industrial PC rack designed for production units in automotive environments. With a screen of 15 ", the PANEL i for automotive industrial computer (based on Intel Pentium III), is ideal as a Panel PC for use in conjunction with the last open CNCs of series i to GE Fanuc.

Finally, GE Fanuc has expanded its range of sources CO laser₂, designed for machine tool cutting or welding laser of high performance, with the introduction of two new models of high power. The two new sources are supplied as packages integrated with CNCs and servo motor of Fanuc GE's high reliability to optimize the operation of the machine. The latest laser sources of dioxide of carbon E-C5000 and C6000 - E GE Fanuc have a power of 5 kW and 6 kW respectively.
