We normally run most (almost all) of our programs for our Fanuc controlled machines from the PC frontend's hard-drive using Fanuc's DNC software.
DNC Operation Management Package (FOCAS1/HSSB)
You are probably all familiar with the limitations of this, no branch or repetitions, custom macro limitations, no files containing subprograms...
For our work and the normally all CAM generated files we run this is not usually a problem. But I have a few files and situations where it would be much more practical to take advantage of those features. But It isn't practical for us to train and expect our machine operators to manage loading such files into the machine memory for normal production.
Is there a DNC software package available that can implement these normally Fanuc DNC limited features in software as it loads and sends the code to the control?
You may want to try our Orion's it can take a program and multiple sub programs and send to machine as a continuous stream. Send me and email or check out our website for more info Home
