Software boosts CNC miller/driller output

New control software, significantly improving the ability to provide high speed production and die mould type machining in three, four or five-axes as well as precision milling and drilling for electrode, aluminium, steel and hard metal components, extends the capability of the Fanuc Robodrill Alpha T21i which is launched at MACH 2004, by 600 Centre of Shepshed near Loughborough, in D-Series guise.

Robodrills have progressed from the 1970's to become an international top-seller by combining a high speed, short-cycling capability with the latest control and drives development from Fanuc to achieve high positioning accuracies and precision surface contours. Indeed, with the launch of the T21iD, rapid traverse rates of 54m/min are achieved with an acceleration of 1.5G, 1.8 secs chip-to-chip for the 21 tool position magazine and a choice of 10,000 or 20,000 revs/min spindle, define the potential for highest levels of productivity.

Available in three versions, all with Z-axis travel of 330mm, the ultra-compact D-Series has 300mm travel in X and Y with a 630mm by 330mm table.

The standard D has a 500mm X-axis and 400mm Y-axis with 650mm by 400mm table and the DL, extended capacity version, has 700mm in X with 400mm in Y and an 850mm by 410mm table.

Software improvements to the Fanuc 16i-MB control abound in the D-Series such as Fanuc's optional Auto Intelligence (AI) contour control and nano contour technology which uses RISC processor to read up to 600 blocks in advance.

This capability enables precise control of acceleration/deceleration without variation of feed rate giving a continuous ultra-smooth surface texture.

A jerk control option, with automatic feed rate control at a corner, reduces mechanical shock and, high resolution is achievable through the latest fast response servo motor developments introducing an ultra-precision pulse coder of 16 million pulses per rev.
