CNC Advanced - FANUC Series 21 Lathe and Mill (CNC 421)

CNC machines are one of the most important equipment used in industry to produce parts. This workshop will provide the necessary know-how based on hands-on training on real industrial equipment upon the ISO G-Code language, FANUC variant.

• Brief introduction about the ISO G-Code language for advanced programs: tool compensations, coordinate system management, main and sub program, cycles.
• Principles of ISO G-Code FANUC 21 structured program.
• Set of instructions for tool length and radius compensation for lathe and milling machines.
• How to start and how to close the tool compensation inside a NC program.
• The User Coordinates System: how to set and how to change it inside a program.
• How to write a main program and how to write a sub program.
• The combination of main and sub programs for repeating a job for an exact number of items; how to call a sub program.
• The combination of main, sub programs and User Coordinate Systems.
• The set of cycles included for Milling operations.
• The set of cycles included for Turning operations.
• Samples according to FANUC Series 21.

• understands the basics on how to write a structured program for a CNC Machine equipped with FANUC Series 21 Numerical Control
• understands how to control the System of Coordinates inside a NC program
• understands how to control the tools dimensions inside a NC program
• is able to start and stop in the right way the tools dimensions compensation within turning or milling NC programs
