CNC Programming

Numerical control (NC) refers to the automation of machine tools that are operated by abstractly programmed commands encoded on a storage medium, as opposed to controlled manually via handwheels or levers, or mechanically automated via cams alone. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing tools that were modified with motors that moved the controls to follow points fed into the system on punched tape.

Fanuc mean Factory Automatic Numerical Control

FANUC Corporation is a Japanese electromechanical manufacturer specializing in robotics. It is one of the largest makers of industrial robots in the world. It is part of the Furukawa Group.

FANUC had its beginnings as part of Fujitsu developing numerical control (NC) and servo systems. The company name is an acronym for Factory Automatic Numerical Control

In 1972, the Computing Control Division became independent and FANUC Ltd was established.

FANUC is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Section 1, 6954. It is headquartered in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Among FANUC's biggest clients are many US and Japanese automobile and electronics manufacturers. FANUC probably more than any other Japanese company has been instrumental in developing Japan's image as a producer of precision and quality equipment. Use of industrial robots has allowed companies like Panasonic in Amagasaki to run factories which produce 2 million television sets a month (mostly high end plasma LCD screens including the world’s largest at 103 inches, with just 15 people.FANUC has joint ventures, subsidiaries, and sales offices on 5 continents and over 22 countries. It is one of the largest makers of CNC controls by market share.

Control / device naming conventions:-

Each generation of FANUC numerical control system has different levels of device control capabilities, and these are generally referred to by a model or series number.

Each controller model is typically available with several device control capabilities, depending on what software functions are licensed for use on that device. Some common control capabilities are:
  • M – Milling
  • T - Turning (lathe)
  • TT - Twin Turret
  •  P - Punch press
  •  G - Grinding

Within each model name, there can also be generational updates for each model, usually indicated by a trailing letter.

Model 0 is somewhat unusual in that both the number zero and the letter O are used interchangeably to indicate the model.

There is no specific syntax for distinguishing the model from the device type and series, with spaces or dashes or slashes, which can result in difficulty searching for information, parts, and service for this equipment. For example, in the FANUC-0 series, these are all valid identifications for various types of NC controls and machines
