FANUC CNC Options - Achieve greater productivity from your FANUC CNCs

Your FANUC CNC could achieve more than you might expect.

Often it requires just an activation of software options that were not part of the original machine tool package. If you are not sure which options are currently on your system, contact our Options Team and they can help determine which options simply need to be turned on and which ones are available for purchase on your specific system.

Contact us today to speak with a FANUC CNC expert about options that will help improve your automation processes.

Popular FANUC CNC Options

FANUC Part Program Memory

Increase memory space allocated for storage of part programs
Allows larger programs to be created or revised at the machine
Reduces need to delete programs to free up space if the program must be reloaded for use later

FANUC Background edit

Create or revise a part program while another part program is running the machine
Upload or download programs while another program is running the machine
Save valuable setup time by allowing the operator to prepare for the next part while the current program is running

FANUC Expanded program editing

Enhance part programming capabilities
Provides copy, merge, move, and replace functions
Reduce edit time when creating or revising part programs at the machine

FANUC Registered part program additions

Increase number of programs that can be stored in program memory
Most controls store up to 63 programs; however, some can be increased to as many as 1000 programs
Especially beneficial if using many small part programs, sub-programs or macro programs

FANUC Custom Macro / FANUC Custom Macro B

Expands part programming language
Includes program flow control, math and logic functions, and local and system variables
Easily create your own custom cycles or parametric family parts program
Error-proof processes and data entry
Imagine how a clever programmer could improve your machining processes

Applications for Probing:

Access to machine position after probe triggers
Variables to store data and calculated values
Arithmetic functions to calculate new values
Access to offset tables and other CNC system data
Logic and part program flow to make decisions on impact of measurement
Alert operator if problem condition

High-speed skip

High-speed electronic circuits with high-priority CNC function to accurately record position when probe trips
Aborts remaining axis motion after probe trips
Stores axes positions in Custom Macro Variables
Automatic compensation for lag, even during acc/dec
0.1 msec probe signal detection
Series 15/16/18 - 8 inputs
Series 21/0 - 1 input

Coordinate system rotation

G68 rotates the 3D coordinate system by a specified number of degrees
Simplify programming a part with a repeated & rotated shape (i.e. fan blade)

Work coordinate system

G54 - G59 simplifies part setup
Offset values sets (6 preset work coordinate systems) can be selected from the program
48 additional work offsets available
Simplifies programming by shifting program zero relative to machine zero

Helical interpolation

Synchronizes the circular motion of 2 axes with the linear move of another axis
Useful for thread milling, or milling large holes with small tools

Data server or remote buffer

Avoid data starvation when drip feeding large programs through a serial port in DNC mode by adding a high-speed communication board
Board provides separate CPU (Data Server Function uses FTP to transfer NC data or to operate the DNC; Remote Buffer Card is with RS232C/RS422 ports and memory space for serial port data buffering)
Capable of continuous running large part programs in DNC mode at same speed as if the program was stored in internal memory

High speed machining

Most machines are designed for either high speed or high accuracy
High speed machining options provide look ahead, enhanced acc/dec control, and automatic feedrate control to increase both speed and accuracy
Higher machining speed reduces part cycle time and increases production capacity of the machine
