Fagor Automation to Unveil New CNC 8065

Fagor Automation Corporation has introduced the all new CNC 8065. "The CNC 8065 is designed to take advanced CNC technology and make it simple to use," said a company spokesperson. "It combines the operating system aspects of the 8055 series CNC with the power and technology of the CNC 8070.

The PC-based Windows XP 8065 CNC utilizes a simple icon key based conversational programming system made popular with the 8055 CNC System. This method utilizes a variety of 'icon keys' that are symbols of the operation to be performed. The customer simply chooses the operation via the appropriate ICON key and then fills in the blank directly off the blueprint on a single graphic assist screen.

"The 8065 CNC also has the capability of traditional ISO G-code programming, thus enhancing the versatility of the CNC to match the operator's experience and skill-level," said the spokesperson.

"The ability for the operator to choose their method of programming enhances the benefit in that you now have a machine that is not only suitable for complex large run production parts but also for quick set-up small lot production."

All 8065s have the capability of Ethernet communication and are equipped as standard with a USB port, thus making the integration of the CNC into the customers network easy, as well as for allowing quick and easy transfer of programs, said the company. Each 8065 is offered with a 10 or 15 inch high resolution LCD TFT color monitor and can also be configured for touch screen operation.

Todd Drane, Marketing Manager, said, "The 8065 CNC is a breakthrough for customers who require the high performance of a true 5-axis CNC yet has an intuitive easy to use operating system that is adaptable to any operator/programmer level of experience. There is a direct correlation between Technology and actual Performance, yet most customers are unable to get the two together, the 8065 solves this problem and allows your staff to bridge the gap between the two."

Fagor Automation will also be announcing the all new Exposed Open Linear Encoders. "Designed specifically for applications requiring accuracy at high speeds, these new linear encoders can maintain rated accuracy at speeds in excess of 18,000 inches per minute," said the spokesperson. Typical applications are inspection & metrology machines, circuit board market, high speed linear motors, semi-conductor market and the high speed precision machine tool market.

The Exposed linear encoder line are designated as the EX series and are available with both a 1 Vpp or TTL signal with selectable reference point locations for flexibility. Lengths available range from 70 mm all the way up to 30,040 mm.

Fagor will also be displaying the all New Innova 40i P & 40i TS Digital Readout Systems at IMTS 2010. The Innova 40i P is based upon the True Vision TFT Color screen platform and is expanded to 4-axis capability including rotary axes. In addition, the unit offers program memory storage as standard and comes equipped with machine I/O capability. The 40i TS also allows control of up to four axes, plus provides the capability of complete lathe spindle control, including constant surface speed mode on our TFT Color Screen platform.

"With the exclusive TFT LCD Color Screen, it is possible to execute Solid 3D program simulations right at the digital readout," said the spokesperson. "In addition, standard features include a host of cycles such as a pocket cycle, bolt-hole cycle, linear hole & matrix cycles. Additional productivity features include part centering, plane & angle operator selection, 20 offsets and tool radius compensation, plus much more.

"Standard features of the 40i turning system include turning & taper cycles that utilize a graphical interface with conversational type data entry for extreme simplicity & programming ease. In addition, the 40i T now allows for the capability of threading. Additional productivity features include 15 tool offsets, diameter/radius programming and axes coupling plus additional standard features such as fine/course resolution selection, inch/metric programming, absolute/incremental selection & tool nose radius compensation."

The Innova 40i series of Digital Readouts can be customized by parameter for milling, boring, turning, grinding or general purpose applications. Intuitive graphic help screens are utilized for each application.

Fagor is also exhibiting its full line of linear & rotary encoder feedback systems, including a host of new products including absolute rotary encoders as part of our FXM motor series and dual track high resolution encoders, as well as a broad variety of absolute linear encoders to meet all customer application needs. Also on display will be the expanded AC brushless servo & spindle systems including the all-new FM9 series spindle motors with expanded power capability of 100+ HP.
