It´s a perfect combination of energy efficiency with maximum reliability, acceleration and speed. Two controls in one More than just a laser control, FANUC’s laser CNC panel provides top performance for both laser and machine tools. Featuring pre-installed interfaces, the control’s intelligent software not only enables highly efficient laser processing but can also be used to deploy functions offered by FANUC standard CNCs and CNC accessories. Handling of laser cutted parts made easy Supplementing your FANUC Laser package with FANUC handling robots is easy since all FANUC CNC systems and robots share a common control platform. Robots can be integrated quickly and easily into your laser machine processes, with machine/robot connectivity achieved via a standard interface. The CNC’s integrated screens monitor and control the robot and vice versa – something that can be further enhanced using FANUC handling solutions equipped with visual detection. Just ask – we love coming up with solutions. FANUC's handling solutions Efficient and reliable Laser cutting Ultra-fast fly cut Laser applications High-speed total laser command is synchronised with the axis control while the real-time performance of the FANUC Serial Servo Bus (FSSB) makes superfast fly cut applications possible. Dedicated Laser commands FANUC CNC software comes with a full set of laser commands and diagnostic tools as well as powerful CNC software functions designed to significantly decrease cycle times and make processes easier. Minimum maintenance FANUC keeps your maintenance costs down. For example, our turbines are guaranteed to run for 24,000 hours without an intervention. More productive 3-D Laser cutting For 3-D laser machining, FANUC Laser simultaneously controls up to six axes and can support various 3-D laser cutting heads. Other smart functions, such as TCP programming, the teaching function and W-axis tracing control enhance your productivity even further. FANUC Academy: 100% OEM training 25 years plus spare parts availability Local presence and worldwide service How can we help you increase your productivity? Our specialists are looking forward to supporting you. Contact us FANUC laser software functions Laser Gap Control On laser cutting machines equipped with a detector that measures the distance from the nozzle to the workpiece surface, FANUC’s Gap Control function relays the detector signal to the CNC via a dedicated interface. The FANUC CNC then processes the signal, enabling extremely precise gap control using the machine's Z-axis. Gap Control improves cutting and closer control of the gap between the nozzle and the workpiece. Automatic Gap Control Axis Retract FANUC's Automatic Gap Control Axis Retraction and Approaching feature enables automatic retraction along the gap control axis during a positioning operation from the end point of the current cutting point to the next cutting point along the X-/Y-axis. It also makes it possible to approach the workpiece along the gap control axis while, simultaneously, approaching the next cutting point along the X-/Y-axis, without cancelling the gap control mode. Hence, the next cutting phase can be started. Power control This feature tailors laser performance to the cutting process by managing the laser power, laser frequency and laser duty cycle in real time, i.e. laser power and axis feed in synchronisation. Burning and overheating are prevented even when cutting very tight angles at high speed. Edge cutting function This function enables sharper edges and reduces cycle times by detecting sharp angles in the cut path and automatically setting the cutting speed and condition to suit. As well as producing better-cut surfaces, this feature increases throughput and machine performance. Cutting Condition Setting function The Cutting Condition Setting function bundles and stores your machining parameters (otherwise separately specified using the laser power, -frequency, -duty cycle laser commands in an E code command table). This results in a clear part program structure and simplifies procedures, saving you valuable setup time on repeat jobs. Laser monitoring This CNC feature enables the operator to monitor the status of the laser via a dedicated screen. Ensuring consistent performance from the laser oscillator and increasing the machine's productivity, it also allows the operator to intervene and prevent damage to the oscillator should an error occur. Laser Gap Control On laser cutting machines equipped with a detector that measures the distance from the nozzle to the workpiece surface, FANUC’s Gap Control function relays the detector signal to the CNC via a dedicated interface. The FANUC CNC then processes the signal, enabling extremely precise gap control using the machine's Z-axis. Gap Control improves cutting and closer control of the gap between the nozzle and the workpiece. FANUC laser hardware accessories Multichannel CNCs Choose the dedicated multichannel FS30i-LB model CNC for 2-D and 3-D laser cutting machines or the cost effective FS31i-LB model CNC for standard 2-D laser cutting machines. Both CNC controls provide intelligent software solutions for effective and efficient laser processing and support powerful laser/punch combination machines. Integrated laser control and diagnostic functions predict the need for maintenance, guaranteeing maximum uptime and high productivity. Short optical beam path lengths FANUC laser guides the beam inside the laser cabinet, enabling the laser to be positioned closer to the workpiece. Resulting in a compact design this reduces the footprint of work cells. Long optical beam path lengths By installing the laser further away from the process, more beam length is available.
