Fagor Automation’s conversational language has been designed to make the operator’s job as intuitive as possible, because of this; operators unfamiliar with Fagor CNC are capable of utilizing the 8055 CNC to its full potential in just a few hours.
It offers quick and efficient access, through ICON hot keys to the various operations and canned cycles. Each operation or cycle has a specific graphic ICON hotkey. You may simply press the key of the operation that you wish to perform, without having to browse through complex sub-menus, thus giving access to the relevant function immediately and without compromise.
Using Fagor Automation’s ICON conversational mode, the machine can be used in manual mode without having to create a program…. Just fill in the blank on the graphic.
Programming in cycles
These programming languages may be combined whencreating part-programs. ISO-coded language for large production runs where optimizing the program is more important considering cycle time reduction is an important aspect of the operation.
ICON conversational language for small part-runs. This intuitive interface has been conceived for shops where set-up & programming time is a critical factor. One of the advantages of working with conversational cycles is that besides simplified programming, it offers a safe working method.
Programming in ISO requires taking into account all movements, including those above and around the part plus machining passes, tools, axis feed rates, spindle speed, etc.,
Which increases the possibility of making critical mistakes that could cause personal injury or damage to the machine. The conversational mode of the 8055 CNC automatically takes into consideration these factors, hence helping to prevent critical mistakes & risks.
The 8055 CNC offers a wide range of cycles that cover most of the operations that an operator may need. For complex parts, Fagor Automation CNC’s can import those CAD-generated files. Imported files may be used inside the conversational cycles. The CNC can then manage all the tool paths needed to produce the part.
