Fanuc 30i/31i-P model B punch press controls support increased hit rates
1 min read
Fanuc 30i/31i-P Model B high speed punch press controls are capable of supporting increased punching and nibbling rates. This is a result of high speed punch control cycles and increasing the number of axes controlled to 30/20 maximum controlled axes and 24/4 maximum simultaneously controlled axes. The units also support large part program management and high speed Ethernet interface.
Fanuc CNCs provide up to 8 MB of high capacity, non-volatile internal memory that is available to store as many as 4,000 large nested part programs. Slots are provided for ATA or compact flash memory cards that can add an additional 2 GB of part program storage. Any commercially available USB storage device may also be connected to store and transfer large programs. A fast data server can also be installed in the CNC providing up to 4 GB of flash memory and a 100 GBit Ethernet connection.
A high speed, error-immune fibre-optic connection between the CNC and an integrated PC front-end allows the hard disk to be used for part program storage.
The Series 30i/31i-P model B's embedded Ethernet interface allows the user to integrate the CNC control system into a company network for data collection or for high speed part program transfers. Worldwide links can be set up via the Internet. This makes remote diagnosis, maintenance and online training possible. Because the integrated Ethernet interface does not use a public operating system, it is practically 'hacker-free' and immune to viruses, says Fanuc, providing a safe and worry free connection to business networks.
The 30i/31i-P model B CNCs for punching are combined with rugged, energy efficient, high performance servo drive systems that are designed to deliver reliability and performance – even in dusty, high vibration environments.
Minimal training and programming are needed with the new 30i/31i-P model B CNCs for operators that already use Fanuc controls.
