Jog Away:Allows you to pause program execution and JOG any axis
without aborting the machining operation. Program execution
can continue at the new position or return automatically to the
original position.
Fadal Macro Language:A standard feature that allows you to generate and
customize programs.
1) Create custom menus that enable you to select the number
of parts, sizes, or number of holes.
2) Perform Statistical Process Control (SPC). When combined
with the optional probe, touch-points can be output to the
serial port for data collection or printed forms may
be generated.
3) Define machine shapes via mathematical formula.
4) Write macros that can create a family of parts.
5) Create a custom, tool-life management system.
6) Perform conditional programming, which allows modifying
the machining process according to operator response or
inspection results from a probe.
Commands:Commands such as PRINT, SPRINT, INPUT, IF-THEN, GOTO
and CLEAR are available. Math functions can perform tasks to
generate 3-D surfaces such as spheres, cones, spiral pocketing
etc. Macros can also reference 100 user-reserved variables;
including axis position, tool length and diameter or radius, fixture
offsets, touch points, tool timers, clocks and current tool.
FANUC® Compatibility:Available for veteran Fanuc users. Existing Fanuc programs can
be run on Fadal machines with virtually no editing. This reduces
time spent reprogramming and eliminates the time required for
the programmer to learn a new format.
Learn Mode:A powerful tool used to teach the control how to machine a part.
Simply JOG the machine axes to the desired positions and the
CNC writes them into the program.
Engraving:Is useful and easy to use, and enables you to engrave comments
or ID numbers into the work piece with only one line of code.
One of two different engraving styles allows the user to make
stencils. Engraving combined with Flat Cam Programming allows
the user to engrave on a rotary die. Mirror imaging the engraved
characters is also possible for mold making.
4TH AXIS Flat Cam programming (G17, Q)simplifies axis programming (requires a rotary axis option) and
allows you to program the work piece in the XY plane as if it were
rolled out flat. The CNC then converts the XY program motion to
an XA or XB motion. The feature is especially useful for producing
rotary dies.
Modal Subroutine (G66, G67)Modal Subroutine creates customized fixed cycles, create a
custom drill, bore cycle, pocketing routine, or any other routine.
The user has simply to call up the modal subroutine and define
the position; the routine is automatically executed at each
specified location on the work piece.
Axis Reciprocation (M10-MI3)Axis Reciprocation permits any one axis to reciprocate
independently of the others, which is useful for establishing
surfaces with minimal programming.
Part RotationBy referencing known points of a piece of raw part material a part
program can be rotated around the X and Y axes. This feature is
helpful when dealing with large or difficult to move material and
allows the part to be machined without timely physical rotation
and fixturing.
Part ScalingEnlarging or decreasing the size of a part program while
maintaining the tool path geometry is possible with the Fadal
Scaling feature. This feature allows part programs to manipulated
for machining of same part shape in multiple sizes.
Optional Fadal 32MP CNC The 32MP provides a shop floor PC interface to the Fadal
Multi-Processor CNC. It is equipped with a Celeron CPU and color
monitor. This PC has expansion slots, which allow network and
system upgrade capabilities. Bundled with the 32MP Control,
Virtual Gibbs, is a unique CAM package that allows print to part
programming with minimal training and documentation. Its simple
graphic interface helps you to program parts quickly and easily.
With solid model rendering, the user can view their part on the
screen while it's cut in real time. This feature includes detection
for tool shank interference, tools rapiding through walls and
non-bottom cutting tools attempting to bore with the Z-axis.
Fadal MP CNC Control
Easy to Learn - Easy to Use - Powerful Standard Features The flexibility of our menu driven command structure, combined
with the inherent simplicity of a keyboard interface, enable us to
provide our users with new, updated software features that can
be added in the field. A long list of powerful standard features that
make programming, part setup and machine operation simple and
straight forward are standard in the Fadal MP CNC.
Menu Prompting:Displays all the machine functions in English, and walks the user
through the set up process from start to finish. Quick setup
utilities allow fast and easy part setup by automating the many
steps it would normally take to establish offsets.
99 Tool Offsets:After jogging to the offset position, push a button; the CNC stores
the length offset and then retrieves the next tool from the turret.
48 Fixture Offsets:
There are four utilities available for locating the starting positions:
1) Store position from JOG
2) Midpoint, halfway between two points
3) Corner, inside or outside
4) Center, calculated using three points. Select the option, jog to
each point and press compute. The computer calculates the
offset and automatically stores the position.
Run-Time Menu:Facilitates tool/fixture offset modification, dry run selection,
MST lockout, Z neglect and part time displays while running
the machine.
Quick Program Restart:Allows you to locate the desired starting point in the program.
The CNC establishes all G codes, M functions and axis positions
just prior to that block. The program then restarts and
automatically begins machining.
Quick Keys:Enable you to perform certain setup and operational functions
with the touch of one key. Available quick keys are: • Quick Auto
• Dry Run • Edit • Zero Return • Text Tool • Set Length
• Offsets – Diameter, Fixture and Tool Life Management
• Axis Zero • Read • Punch • Custom Macro
Powerful Program Editing with Functions Menu:More than 30 programming functions that allow you to easily
create programs right at the machine. Menu prompting
is available for all cycles (drilling, taping, boring, pocketing,
engraving, etc.). You fill in the data, push a button and the
computer automatically inserts the necessary NC code.
Background Editing is also possible. Editing the part program
while machining, adds greater operator flexibility.
Comprehensive Geometry and Trigonometric functions are
provided to compute a part profile at the machine. The
functions listed in the image below enable you to blend a radius
between two circles, find a parallel line, establish tangents,
or create a circle using three known points.
Program Verification:A graphic representation of the machining operation that helps
detect geometry errors or other programming anomalies prior to
machining the part. Isometric or top views are selectable. Zoom
in/out enables you to isolate a specific detail and reference any
position. Each move can be specifically displayed, as well as the
absolute position and model G codes.
Jog Away:Allows you to pause program execution and JOG any axis
without aborting the machining operation. Program execution
can continue at the new position or return automatically to the
original position.
