CNC Customization FANUC PICTURE

Features
The FANUC PICTURE software provides a rich set of functions and tools to design and implement customized Human
Machine Interfaces (HMI) on the FANUC CNC.

The projects created by FANUC PICTURE are compiled to a format that can be executed directly by the CNC and displayed
on the standard LCD screen without requiring additional Personnal Computer display.

Key functions
• Support of many screen sizes and resolutions
• Support of touch screens, including virtual keypads
• WYSIWYG editor
• Rich set of controls such as keys, switches, push buttons, touch buttons, lamps, scales, etc.
• Many parameters can be adjusted for each of the objects
• No need to program, just draw and parameter
• Support of multi-language HMI application
• Easy import-export of projects, variables, descriptions and translations
• Script language (scheduled or event driven) to execute complex tasks

FANUC PICTURE is part of the CNC Application Development Kit.

Benefits
• Creation of customized HMI on the FANUC CNC
• Powerful HMI without the requirement of PC hardware
• Simple modification of the HMI to follow machine and production evolution

 CNC Customization CNC GUIDE
Features
CNC GUIDE and CNC GUIDE Academic Package are FANUC's CNC software running on a PC. They are available with
single or multiseat licences. This is the ideal solution for a dedicated training room or development team.

CNC GUIDE

CNC GUIDE provides a realistic operation and part programming environment at a fraction of the cost of using a
production machine tool. This translates into lower training costs. It supports both conventional G-code programming,
including canned cycles and custom macros, and FANUC's conversational programming, MANUAL GUIDE i.

Comprehension and retention is enhanced as students perform repetitive hands-on exercises in an ergonomically friendly
environment - away from the noise of the factory floor. Operators, programmers, and maintenance engineers can all
practice common procedures and develop optimized processes without risks to people, tooling or machines.
• The simulation emulates the CNC exactly, which means programs can be written, tested and optimized on the PC
bringing productivity gains by working offline and keeping the machine in production.
• Simulators fit to a classroom situation and so both educational and industrial training is easily implemented
resulting in better educated and highly motivated staff.

CNC GUIDE provides a superior software development environment for FANUC CNCs, by adding the PMC ladder and
machine signal simulation capabilities, and support for the standard FANUC operator panel. When combined with other
FANUC software development tools (FANUC LADDER III, FANUC PICTURE, C- and MACRO EXECUTOR), CNC GUIDE
provides a more efficient development environment that an actual CNC.

 CNC Customization Cycle Time Estimate Function for CNC GUIDE
Features
The Cycle Time Estimation Function is a Personal Computer tool that can quickly estimate the machining cycle time of NC
program. With this function, the following estimations are delivered by the software (refer to illustration):
• Travel distance (1)
• Cycle time (2)
• Path drawing (3)

Key highlights
• The accuracy of the estimation made is higher than estimations made with 3rd party software; the reason of this
higher accuracy is that the cycle time is calculated including the acceleration / deceleration
• The target program can be selected and the NC parameter can be set as on a real machine and CNC using CNC
GUIDE
• The machining time of a complex program can be estimated, for example from a 5-axis machining cycle

Details of the estimated data

Because not only the entire cycle time of specified NC program but also time of rapid traverse and cutting, as well as
distance are calculated, the tool provides a very efficient method to optimize machining cycles, decrease the processing
time and extend the tool life.

The Estimation Function is available for the program of machining center and one path and provides the following details:
• Entire processing time
• Rapid traverse time
• Cutting feed time (calculated with the time of acceleration / deceleration but without taking in consideration the lag
provided by the servo motors, the spindle and the machine time)
• Processing time of miscellaneous functions (the total of the time of each M/S/T/B code set beforehand is multiplied
at the entire processing time
• Macro processing time (Custom Macro and Execution Macro can be executed except that the macro processing time
is not included in the entire processing time)
• Rapid traverse distance
• Cutting feed distance (traveled distance of the tool center point is calculated)

Certain functions may require additional hardware, different CPU type or additional memory

 CNC Customization Accuracy
The accuracy of the estimation time depends on many factors, but essentialy is linked to the type of machining process.
The estimation reaches a higher accuracy under the following conditions:
• When the processing time of the estimated machining duration is longer
• When the ratio of cutting and rapid traverse is higher
• When the ratio of miscellaneous function is lower

Benefits
• Optimization of machining cycles (reduction of time, increase of accuracy and reduction of tool wear)
• Increase of the machine productivity
• Reduction of trials with real cutting, especially for expensive materials
