Fagor Automation Offers Grinding CNC Control

Fagor Automation has announced the introduction of two grinder CNC controls to its line of CNC controls.

The Fagor CNC 8040/8055 T-G is designed to simplify ID and OD grinding operations. The grinding cycles are designed in a conversational format allowing for ease of programming even for CNC novices, according to the company. These conversational programming screens allow the user to enter the part dimensions into the data windows while utilizing the graphical example for faster and more efficient error proof program creation.

Selection of automatic canned cycles are left to the customers needs, thus providing a more lean solution. Cycles offered include facing cycles, internal linear cycles, internal multi-plunge cycles, internal passing cycles, internal swing cycles, multi-plunge + passing cycles, passing cycles, plunge with swing cycles, straight plunge cycles and dressing cycles.

In addition, part zero offset, diamond offset and taper rate correction screens are made conversational utilizing graphic examples for easier data entry. These screens are included with all grinder controls.

Solid Graphics is offered free of charge with all grinding controls. Solid Graphics allows the operator to define the existing part stock dimensions, thus during cutting in either execution or simulation mode, the operator can visually see the stock ground to the finished part dimensions in a Solid Graphic representation. Conventional tool path graphics is also included.

The grinding software is offered in either the Fagor CNC 8040 or 8055 control platforms.
