Pad. 13 stand D01
During the 34.BI-MU, FANUC introduces the new generation of FS500i-A numerical controls. The series stands out for its extreme ease of use, improved performance, and the implementation of new features that contribute to increased reliability, enhanced production efficiency, and strengthened energy sustainability of the machine system.
The FS500i-A CNCs are based on the intuitive iHMI2 interface, which maintains the attractive look of FANUC’s iHMI but combines it with the familiar operating framework of traditional systems. Regarding usability, all interactions can be managed through a single screen without having to switch between screens, thanks to an intelligent auto-rescaling function. Great attention is also given to customizing the graphical layout of the screens, thanks to the support of FANUC PICTURE 2.
The FS500i-A controls also offer the ability to program PMC systems directly from the numerical control using the ISO structured text language. Another new feature is the simplification of processes that require five-axis programming. In this case, manual operation during workpiece setup, integrated 3D interference checking within the CNC/Servo, and continuous tool length compensation are provided, along with improved usability of commands during machining.
All these improvements, along with the new faster CPU and the complete overhaul of hardware and software, contribute to reducing cycle time and machine warm-up times. Furthermore, the new FS500i-A series integrates smart technology that enables energy saving and regeneration, and it implements the digital twin with CNC Reflection Studio software. With CNC Reflection Studio, it is possible to safely and reliably simulate all machine operations, even high-speed ones, in a digital environment. The analysis of G-codes and interpolation processes is equivalent to what would be done on the machine thanks to the use of CNC Guide software.
