To control milling machines and machining centers, both horizontal and vertical.
Easy to operate. It may be programmed in ISO code or in conversational mode making it the ideal CNC for large production lines and applications for unitary parts.
Ideal for large production lines and applications for unitary parts.
The 8055 CNC can govern up to 7 axes and 2 spindles. Block processing time of 1.5 ms may be obtained with it, it analyzes the tool path 75 blocks in advance (look ahead) and it allows smoothening the tool path by applying the right acceleration control (Jerk control).
The continuous evolution of the 8055 CNC family contributes to the productivity increase, improving the efficiency of the machines in sectors requiring a robust, versatile and easy-to-install CNC system.
This CNC is widely present in applications of large production lines as well as in applications for unitary parts in a shop because the operator can use at any time either the ISO programming system or the Fagor conversational programming system.
Fagor CNC's are user friendly and permit editing a program while executing another one. They have a profile editor with graphic support to draw contours by entering known measurements off the blue-print.
Controlling position, velocity, accelerations and collisions prevents undesired machining and help achieve unmatched part-finish and maximum performance of the machine.
Tool inspection makes the operator's job easier allowing him, after interrupting the program, to check the tool status, replace it if necessary and resume the program after repositioning the axes.
Editing and Simulation
The capability of editing part-programs while executing another program reduces waiting time between parts. Likewise, simulating the program graphically before machining the part permits verifying each operation and correct the data entered.
Home search
After turning the machine on, there is no need to move the axes to the reference point (home). Using Fagor distance-coded feedback systems, the CNC assumes the new position by simply moving the axes 50 mm; with Fagor absolute feedback systems, there is no need to move the axes.
Possibility of production estimate
The simulation permits checking programs by graphically showing its execution. It also makes an estimate of the total execution time and of the machining time for each tool.
Intelligent Profile Editor
Blueprints not always show the coordinates of the starting and end points of each section. Sometimes it suffices to just indicate the inclination angle of a section and other times, it is enough to indicate that it is tangent to the previous section.
With the Intelligent Profile Editor no calculations are required, just enter the known data into the CNC. When there are more than one solution, all possible solutions are shown graphically so the operator can select the right one.
Improved Production Process
The Ethernet connection helps improve the production process by transmitting part-programs, previously created in the Programming Office, to the CNC for their execution.
It is also possible to monitor the machining time for statistical calculation, dead time, usage of each tool, etc.
Telediagnosis and telemaintenance
It makes the technician's job easier since from his work table and at his own PC he can remotely manipulate and observe the status of the machine (CNC-drives-motors).
It means significant savings in travel expenses and, technical assistance labor because it reduces machine downtime by getting help and error diagnosis immediately.
Tool calibration and measuring cycles
They are simple and intuitive operations that make the operator's job easier using help graphics. In the tool calibration cycle, both manual and automatic, one just needs to set the dimensions of the master part, select the tool to be calibrated and touch the part with it. The CNC picks up the actual tool dimensions and updates its internal tables for later machining operations.
By using probes placed on the tool holder spindle, the part measuring and aligning cycles help adapt easily and automatically the work coordinates to the actual part position (hole centering, corner and angle measuring, etc.).
Kinematics management
It is possible to select one of the kinematics and set it to better adapt to the requirements of the machine. It admits spherical, orthogonal and angular spindles; rotary tables and the combination of swinging spindles and rotary tables.
5-axis machining (RTCP)
The RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) function improves part finish by making the tool tip follow the programmed profile regardless of the length and orientation of the tool.
When working with RTCP and changing the orientation of the tool, the CNC moves the X, Y, Z axes to maintain the position of the tool tip on the part.
Using RTCP and tangential control, it is possible to machine a profile in the plane keeping the cutting angle of the cutter at all times; tool position with respect to the programmed tool path.
CNC 8055 MC, conversational model for Milling machines and Machining Centers
Thanks to their versatility and capability, Fagor conversational CNC's offer the highest features and are incredibly user friendly. They minimize setup time. Any operator without previous programming knowledge will be able to efficiently attend to any possible need by simply entering the machining conditions and the geometrical data shown on the blueprint.
The automatic operations already implemented represent the main distinguishing feature of the conversational models. They have been designed to better adapt to the usual shop working methods. They correspond to each operation of the part machining process.
