SOFTWARE DESCRIPTIONS
SOFT DIGITAL SERCOS (Standard on all models)
Sercos drive system bus.
SOFT DIGIT NO FAGOR
Mechatrolink drive system bus.
SOFT PROBE
The CNC may have two probes; usually a tabletop probe to calibrate tools and a measuring probe to measure the part.
It also offers functions G100 to G104 for programming probing moves; but the probing canned cycles are not included.
SOFT C AXIS
It activates the kinematics for working with C axis and their associated machining cycles.
The CNC may be used with several C axis spindles. The parameters of each spindle indicate whether it will work as a C axis or not and it
won’t be necessary to activate another axis in the machine parameters.
SOFT TANDEM AXES
A tandem axis consists in two motors mechanically coupled (slaved) and making up a single transmission system (axis or spindle). This
system is normally used to move the axes on large machines.
The CNC configuration contemplates both axes of the tandem. Only an axis is programmed (the master tandem). The other one (the
slave tandem) cannot be programmed, but it is controlled by the CNC.
When activating this feature, it must be borne in mind that for each Tandem axis of the machine, another axis must be added to the whole
configuration of the machine.
SOFT SYNCHRONISM
Axes and spindles may be synchronized in 2 ways, in velocity or in position.
The CNC configuration contemplates 2 axes or 2 spindles that are synchronized. Once synchronized, only the master is displayed and
programmed.
SOFT TANGENTIAL CONTROL
“Tangential Control” Keeps a rotary axis always in the same orientation with respect to the programmed path. The machining path is
defined in the axes of the active plane and the CNC keeps the orientation of the rotary axis along the whole path.
SOFT RTCP
The “RTCP” option is a must for machining in RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point) with 4, 5 or 6-axis interpolation.
SOFT IEC 61131 LANGUAGE
The IEC 61131 is PLC programming language, very popular on alternative markets and is entering the machine-tool market little by little.
When activating this feature, the PLC may be programmed either in the usual Fagor language or in IEC 61131 format.
SOFT DRILL CYCL OL
Drilling canned cycles for OL models.
SOFT OPEN SYSTEM
The CNC is a closed system that offers all the features needed to machine parts. However, sometimes, specific customers use third-
party applications for taking measurements, doing statistics or running other tasks besides machining a part.
This feature must be active when installing this type of applications, even if it is an Office file. Once the application has been installed, it is
recommended to close the CNC back in order to prevent the operators from installing other kinds of applications that could slow the sys-
tem down and affect the machining operations.
SOFT THIRD PARTY CANOPEN
Enables the use of CANopen non-Fagor modules.
SOFT FVC (Fagor Volumetric compensation) UP TO 10m3
SOFT FVC (Fagor Volumetric compensation) MORE 10m3
5-axis machines are usually used to make large parts. The accuracy of the parts is limited by the machine manufacturing tolerances and
by the effect of temperature while machining.
In industries like aerospace, the machining demands render the classical compensation tools insufficient. Volumetric compensation FVC
comes in to complement the machine adjusting tools. By mapping the total work volume of the machine, the CNC knows the exact posi-
tion of the tool at all times. After applying the necessary compensations, the resulting part has the desired accuracy and tolerance.
There are 2 choices depending on the size of the machine, up to 10 m3 and over 10 m3.
SOFT PWM CONTROL
This feature is only available with Sercos drive system bus. Aimed mainly at Laser machines for cutting very thick sheet metal.
The CNC generates a series of PWM pulses to control the power of the Laser when drilling the starting point.
This feature is a must for cutting very thick sheet metal and requires two quick outputs available at the module “SER-CAN-8I-8IO-A
(83700065)” of the central unit of the CNC 8070.
With this new feature, the OEM does not need to install external devices and programming them, thus reducing the cost of the machine
and installing time. The end user also benefits because the “Cutting with PWM” feature is much easier to use and program.
