Series 16i/160i - 8 Axes

High-Speed Programmable Machine Control for Reduced Cycle Time. Fast processing (ladders up to 32,000 steps execute at 0.085µS/step) eliminates bottlenecks and improves machine tool cycle time. Real-time multi-tasking can be performed by an independent 32-bit C language processor, which operates in parallel with the PMC ladder program execution. GE Fanuc controls have the ability to create, view, and edit relay ladder logic built into the control.

Wide Range of Communication Functions. With a full range of communication functions, it is possible to configure a network that is ideally suited to all machine tools, regardless of their communication hierarchy. Optimum Five-Axis Control for five-Axis Machine Tools. Functions such as tool offsets and work coordinates to support a wide variety of 5-axis machine configurations. (1) Rotary Tool Type, (2) Rotary Table or Trunion Type and (3) Mixed type of axis configurations are supported. This includes machining on a slanted plane. "Mixed Type" 5-axis configuration consists of both cutting tool and work piece being mounted on their own rotary axes.

High-Speed, High-Precision Machining from Parts to Mold Die Machining. The Series 16i/160i supports NURBS interpolation for curves. By putting to practical use the know-how of high-precision contour control with a RISC processor, enabling high speed, high precision machining.

Open System CNCs Support a Wide Range of Software. The Series 160i meets the challenges of those who require highly sophisticated operator interfaces and need to collect SPC data, or who simply wish to use CAD/CAM and other off-the-shelf software tools, right on the machine tool.

Series 18i/180i - 8 Axes

High-Speed Programmable Machine Control for Reduced Cycle Time. Fast processing (ladders up to 32,000 steps execute at 0.085µS/step) eliminates bottlenecks and improves machine tool cycle time. Real-time multi-tasking can be performed by an independent 32-bit C language processor, which operates in parallel with the PMC ladder program execution. GE Fanuc controls have the ability to create, view, and edit relay ladder logic built into the control.

High-Speed Connectivity for Exceptional System Performance. The unique Fanuc Serial Servo Bus (FSSB) connects the CNC to multiple servo amplifiers over a single high-speed multi drop fiber optic connection. High-Speed, High-Precision Machining from Parts to Mold Die Machining. The Series 18i/180i supports NURBS interpolation for curves. By putting to practical use the know-how of high-precision contour control with a RISC processor, high speed and precision machining is enable.

Series 21i/210i - 5 Axes

High Speed Connectivity for Exceptional System Performance. Maximize data transfer speed by using the smallest possible numbers of cables. Cabling consists of just four cables: power, spindle, servo, and I/O.

PCMCIA for Quick Updates. With the PCMCIA card slot mounted on the front of the LCD unit, it is easy to install new software or to troubleshoot from remote locations. Simply insert a memory card and you can transfer part programs, parameters, and ladder logic. Insert a modem card and you can download programs, troubleshoot, and complete routine maintenance - all from remote locations.

Ultra Compact, Ultra Thin Open System CNC. The Series 210i open system CNC combines superior control features with PC functionality, while supporting future expansions. Plus, network capabilities can be used to exchange information throughout the enterprise. By combining the most advanced features from both systems, the Series 210i transforms the machine tool into an intelligent machine.

Excellent Operability and Maintenance. Easy maintenance and quick repair can be realized with wide range of options such as maintenance information transmission by a modem card, help screens, alarm history, and operation history.
