1 GENERAL
The FANUC Series 15i CNC provides the highest level of performance
for very-high-speed and very-high-precision machining. It can control
24 axes simultaneously.
With functions such as precise trace control, called nano-interpolation,
and fine HPCC for applying optimum acceleration/deceleration control,
the CNC maximizes the performance of machine tools, allowing
complicated free surface figures such as aircraft parts and metal molds
to be machined with very high precision and at very high speed.
The FANUC Series 15i CNC uses the CNC technology and expertise
that FANUC has accumulated over many years. At the same time, it
has been made extremely compact by incorporating the latest
semiconductor and electronics technology. Moreover, it features
improvements such as reduced amounts of wiring in the electrical
section to facilitate the engineering design of machine tools, a
significantly reduced parts count, and the incorporation of many
environmental considerations.
The FANUC Series 150i open CNC is a FANUC Series 15i that has a
Windows-capable personal computer function built in, such that
Windows-compatible software and development environments to be
used.
This manual describes the following models and may use the following
abbreviations.
