Aditional functionality on Fagor 8065 CNC Control
Diversified Machine Systems, a leading US-based 3 & 5 axis CNC machine centre designer and manufacturer announces additional functionality on the Fagor 8065 CNC Control - Tool Inspection Mode. Designed for high performance applications, the Fagor 8065 CNC has been developed with a user interface that compliments the operator skill level via smart no-limit capability.
The Fagor Tool Inspection Mode, which is contained within the Program Execution mode, is significant because it attempts to envision all of the conditions an operator might encounter during the execution of a program, and have a solution contained within this single mode. The user accesses the Tool Inspection Mode through the Program Execution mode. By pressing cycle stop, the user can interrupt the part programme and the Tool Inspection soft key choice instantly becomes available. Then, with the programme stopped, the user is then able to enter into the Tool Inspection Mode. Once into the Tool Inspection Mode, the user can decide how to solve the issue that caused the interrupt state.
Another notable advantage is the ability to actually change tools or perform a tool calibration offset directly in Tool Inspection Mode. A soft key appears that allows the user to jump directly into Tool Calibration Mode, which allows them to set a new tool. The user can return to the original position with Auto-Return or MDI when finished. This is best utilized when the program interrupt was due to tool breakage. This allows the user to either call another tool or set an entirely new tool.
