The 18i -MB5 configuration for Fadal VMCs has a long list of
powerful standard features that make programming, part setup
and machine operation simple and strait forward. In addition to
the controls inherent ease-of-use a handy machine operator
panel (HMOP) allows remote operation of the Fadal VMC.
Optional features can be added to the control for increased
performance to match the needs of specific applications.
MANUAL GUIDE i
Manual Guidance is an operator friendly programming
environment. An easy to read screen and simple operator
interface design is at the center of Manual Guidance i. Single
screen graphical design with clear functional zones, dynamic
soft keys and pop-up windows guide the operator step by step
through the process of programming and part setup. With
minimal training, it is possible to program a wide range of parts.
Powerful graphical simulation allows immediate rendering to
preview your part.
• Guidance programming
• Advanced editing functions
• Graphic part verification

Machine Condition Selecting Function
Machine Conditions Selecting Function provides programmable
settings from 1 to 10 to balance tool path velocity against tool
path accuracy. Roughing operations would require high velocity
while finishing operations would require high tool path accuracy.
A value of 5 would be an equal balance between velocity and
accuracy. R1 would be maximum velocity and minimum accuracy,
R10 would be minimum velocity and maximum accuracy.
Memory Card I/O
A wide range of data can be output to and input from the
memory card installed on front of the LCD unit. This card is
removable to allow data transfer between the control and a PC.
Embedded Ethernet:
A standard Ethernet port provides FTP upload and download
|functions. Upload and Download your part programs and other
CNC files to a network drive at high speeds from easy to use
CNC screen.
Tool Management Function
Tracks tool life by time or number of uses. Automatically select
new tool when the life of current tool runs out.
AI Contour Control
AI Contour Control is an advanced processing feature that
provides higher cutting speeds while maintaining high accuracy.
These features combine several functions to reduce errors in
the machining profile during high-speed machining operations.
AI Contour Control enables smoother accelerations and reduced
cutter path error in your critical high-speed machining
applications. This promotes high quality finished parts and
longer machine life.
With AI Contour Control you can:
• Achieve faster cycle times by optimizing acc/dec over
multiple blocks
• Improve accuracy with higher gains using look ahead
feed forward
• Increase the cutting feedrate for parts with rapidly changing
profiles by reducing overshoot errors
• Achieve superior surface finish by applying acc/dec
before interpolation
Mold 3 Option
Nano Contour Control. Similar to standard AI Contour Control
feature but provides nanometer interpolation for smoother more
accurate path control. The mold 3 option is ideal for 3 axis high
speed machining applications.
Handy Machine Operator Panel (HMOP)
The Handy Machine Operator’s Panel is equipped with
a LCD and manual pulse generator.
• Remote axis control
• Adjustable axis jog increments
• Machine position and message display
• Operator panel functionality: Mode selection, input keys
• Allows safe, remote machine operation
Nanometer Interpolation 1000 times finer interpolation command
increment results in a very smooth command to the digital servo control
Mold 5 Option
This option delivers the highest level of processing speed available
on a Fanuc CNC with a RISC processor. Also comes with a data
server function to allow convenient transfer of large mold files.
• Inverse Time Feed: Allows rotary and linear axis to be
programmed in the same block defining the feedrate by the
amount of time required to make the move.
• RISC Function: A separate 64 bit processor used for part
program processing.
• AI high Precision Contour Control: Similar to the standard
AICC feature but increases the look ahead to 600 blocks
• Smooth Interpolation: Enables Smooth Interpolation
commands, a curved path around point to
point programming.
• Rotary Table Dynamic Fixture Offset: Automatically
updates the work coordinate offset of a part when the
offset is centered on a rotary axis.
• 3-D Coordinate System Conversion: The coordinate
system can be rotated in any 3 dimensions to track the
angle of a part in rotary axis.
• 3-Dimensional Tool Compensation: Tool
compensation can be applied along any direction.
• Data Server Function: Large part programs can be
stored and ran from a 512Mb flash card on the data
server board. Includes a high speed Ethernet interface
is included transferring files from the memory card to net
work drives through FTP.
Ethernet Board - With the FTP file transfer function
information can be transfer between the CNC and the PC at
speeds faster then an RS-232 port. The ethernet can serve
various data to many PCs at higher speed, and at the same
time, and is suitable for building the productive system
where many machine tools and factory computers
-exchange data.
