With “FAST CORNER FUNCTION”, and the following standard features:

This Anderson CNC Proudly uses the latest, Series 0i-MODEL D, with nano-resolution performance. With over 700,000 systems installed, the 0/0i from FANUC is by far the world’s most popular CNC control. Operational & programming consistency are critical to maximize productivity. Operators that already have experience with FANUC controls will be comfortable with the Series 0i in no time, with little or no additional training. Existing part programs will typically run without modification. Each operator can select their preferred language quickly from any one of the 16 supported by the 0i.

High-capacity, nonvolatile internal memory is provided for part program storage. Slots are provided for an additional 2GB of part program storage using economic ATA or Compact Flash memory cards. Part programs stored in external memory cards can be edited & executed just like internal memory, providing practically unlimited capacity.

The network-ready 100-MBit Ethernet interface allows the CNC to be integrated into a network for high-speed part program transfers & the collection of process related data. It also supports remote troubleshooting from the maintenance departmentanywhere around the world. The Ethernet port doesn’t use a public operating system,so it’s practically “hacker-free” & virus immune.

The Series 0i-MODEL D achieves the highest precision possible, with nanometer resolution standard throughout the CNC system. Fast, high resolution 16-million count-per-revolution feedback devices combine to provide a superior surface finish quality when contouring. This minimizes the need for secondary operations, reducing delivery times & part cost.

The Series 0i features a suite of advanced motion control software functions to reduce
cycle times while enhancing part accuracy & extending machine life. Bell shaped
acc/dec minimizes machine shock & reduces the time it takes to accelerate &
decelerate during rapid, contouring, & tapping motions. A.I. Contour Control looks
ahead in the part program to eliminate the acc/dec & servo delays that limit feed rates
when cutting short line segments or contours, & effectively eliminates machining
trajectory error in corners & small radii. Nano smoothing converts CAM-generated line
segments into NURBS curves for faster execution & a superior surface finish, without the need for drastic modifications to existing part programs. High-efficiency drive systems pump energy back into the power line when the machine is decelerating, and when combined with cycle time reductions, they reduce electrical power consumption by up to 50%. Plus, the CNC system is ‘ready-to-go’ in less than 30 seconds.

FANUC’s culture of quality ensures that our CNC systems are the most reliable available. Statistically, aFANUC hardware fault occurs only once for every 27 years of productive service (MTBF). With the commitment of a 25-year parts availability guarantee, convenient local parts inventories, over 34 US locations, & economical repair and return services, you can look forward to decades of trouble-free operation with the Confidence that your machine will be available for production when you need it.

The FANUC 0iMD Controller System is open architecture and will accept industry standard G-Code from any CAD/CAM or Screen-To-Machine program available.
