State-of-the-art CNC The FAGOR 8070 is a state-of-the-art CNC that offers high tech features with maximum operating versatility. This powerful CNC has been designed by combining FAGOR's experience and technology with worldwide Industrial PC standards. It can control up to 28 axes (interpolated simultaneously), 4 spindles, 4 tool magazines and 4 execution channels. Monitor Monitor with either a 10.4" or a 15" TFT screen. Keyboard It has keys with easy-to-understand symbols (icons), hotkeys for quick access to work modes and freely customizable keys to configure them according to the requirements...

8070 M CNC For Milling Machines and Machining Centers The FAGOR 8070 CNC is ideal for controlling all kinds of milling machines and machining centers both horizontal and vertical. It is especially designed for machining high precision contours with a block processing time lower than 1 ms. Its acceleration and jerk control smoothes the tool path changes and reduces mechanical stress on the components of the machine thus making them more durable. It offers filters that eliminate oscillations due to the machine's own frequencies and preventing them from negatively affecting the machining operations...

High speed machining The high speed algorithms optimize machining by obtaining higher cutting speed, smoother contours, better part surface finish, greater accuracy and better reproduction of the programmed surface. By combining splines and polynomial transitions, it uses straight paths to adapt the programmed contour to a curve that goes through all the programmed points. The CNC works with nano-metric resolution: In order to obtain the best part finish, the CAD-CAM coordinates should be defined with the maximum resolution possible. Improved Production Process The Ethernet connection helps improve...

8070 M CNC For Milling Machines and Machining Centers Kinematics management Several kinematics may be defined to better adapt to the requirements of the machine. It admits parallel kinematics; spherical, orthogonal and angular spindles; rotary tables and the combination of swinging spindles and rotary tables. It also admits specific kinematics used by specific machines and provides the right tools to define them easily. Incline plane machining It is possible to machine in incline planes without having to loosen and wedge the part. Once the tool has been manually or automatically oriented, it...

Tool magazine management Any type of tool magazine may be managed: Turret type, synchronous with or without changer arm (1 or 2 claws) and asynchronous. Depending on how the tools are stored in the magazine, it can control magazines where the tool may occupy any position (random magazine) or always the same position (non random magazine). It is up to the tool manager to change the tool, it knows which tool occupies each magazine position and each claw of the changer arm. It can also manage milling machines and machining centers with up to 4 tool magazines. Tool calibration and measuring cycles...

8070 T CNC For Lathes and Turning Centers The FAGOR 8070 CNC can control high production turning centers, vertical lathes, lathes with an incline bed and parallel lathes. Thanks to its high configuration versatility, it can be easily adapted to the machines governing several turrets, spindles, execution channels, etc. Depending on the type of machine, it can control up to 4 spindles and 28 axes; the "C", "Y" and "B" axes among others and perform milling operations in the planes formed by all of them. It offers a variety of filters that eliminate oscillations due to the machine's own frequencies...

Improved Production Process The Ethernet connection helps improve the production process by transmitting part-programs, previously created in the Programming Office, to the CNC for their execution. It is also possible to monitor the machining time for statistical calculation, idle time, usage of each tool, etc. Changing the machining operation With the 8070 CNC, it is very easy to change the machining on production lathes by simply transferring to the new CNC the new part-program, the offset and fixture offset tables for the new fixtures and automatically calibrate the new tools before machining....

8070 T CNC For Lathes and Turning Centers Home search After powering up the machine, there is no need to move the axes to the reference point (home). Using FAGOR distancecoded feedback systems, the CNC assumes the new position by simply moving the axes 20 or 50 mm (depending on the linear encoder). There is no need to move the axes when using FAGOR absolute feedback systems. Programming and operating flexibility With the help from the profile editor and canned-cycle editor, it is possible to edit new programs and modify existing ones as well as those created at a FAGOR 8040, 8050 and 8055 CNC...

Thread cutting operations All kinds of threading are possible besides the typical turning operations (turning, grooving, facing, etc.). Standard, longitudinal, taper, on the face, etc. It is also possible to define the thread entry and exit as well as blending 2 or more consecutive threads. The thread repair function is ideal for re-machining worn out threads. Spindle synchronization With this feature, a part may be machined in a single fixturing operation on a lathe with two or more spindles. One side is machined in one of the spindles and then the part is switched over to the other spindle...
