Fagor Automation USA Corporation will be displaying the new high performance 8065 CNC to the West Coast market at WESTEC. Designed specifically with the aerospace market in mind, the Fagor 8065 CNC is equipped with proprietary advanced features necessary for high-speed machining, yet maintaining machining surface finish while providing accuracy.

Each 8065 is offered with a 10" or 15" high resolution LCD TFT Color or touch screen, Ethernet, USB and built-in touch sensitive mouse pad. The 8065 can control up to 28 axes and four separate spindles with four different execution channels and includes auto-tuning system set-up capability. In addition, the 8065 includes block processing speeds of <0.5 ms while analyzing the tool path with advanced high-speed block look-ahead utilizing nano-metric resolution. Combined with the Fagor Adaptive Real-time Feed & Speed control (ARFS), the CNC analyzes the machining conditions such as spindle load, servo power, tool tip temperature and adapts both the axis feedrate and the spindle speed for maximum machining performance productivity. The result is a reduction of cycle time coupled with a better part finish. Extended spindle and servo motor life is also accomplished as well as improved tool utilization.

Equipped with the aerospace specific High Speed Surface Accuracy (HSSA) machining system the user receives a double benefit of reduced mechanical stress on the machine and increased machine tool lifespan. The on-board Bode diagram tool allows the measurement of the machine's frequency response, allowing the possibility to actually filter the machine vibrations incurred by the various operating conditions and environment. CAD/CAM generated programs used to design parts commonplace in the aerospace market are large and require a specific CNC system treatment in order to obtain the maximum speed with the desired precision. The solution implemented by the 8065 CNC system to process CAD/CAM generated programs consist of the combination of splines and polynomial transitions as well as the interpretation of the NURB format utilized by CAD/CAM programs. This process helps achieve high feedrate machining while maintaining the accuracy required by all geometries to be machined, thus decreasing cycle time.

The 8065's volumetric compensation (FVC) feature allows for the mapping of the total work volume of the machine to ensure the CNC understands the exact position of the tool at all times. Ethernet communication allows the 8065 to be set-up as another node within the computer network. The 8065 also contains the capability of executing a program residing on another PC through the Ethernet port.

Additional Fagor products on-display at WESTEC include the 8055 series CNC, which utilizes an icon key-based conversational programming system and also a built-in ISO G-code programming system within the same control. The Fagor icon key programming method simplifies the programming process by integrating the cycle into a single graphic assist screen, thus eliminating multiple screens. Graphic assist is utilized within all programming screens. With the additional ISO G-code editor on-board, more advanced users can toggle between the operating systems instantly. The 8055 is offered in applications up to seven axes for milling, turning, grinding or general purpose applications and is offered with either analog or full digital drive systems.

Fagor is also exhibiting its full line of linear and rotary encoder feedback systems available in both incremental and absolute protocols and the entire Fagor DRO line-up including the Innova True Vision 40i DRO.
