2.7.1 FANUC Handy File
The Handy File is an easy-to-use, multi function floppy disk
input/output device designed for FA equipment. By operating the Handy
File directly or remotely from a unit connected to the Handy File,
programs can be transferred and edited.
The Handy File uses 3.5-inch floppy disks.
One or more programs (up to 1.44M bytes, which is equivalent to the
memory capacity of 3600-m paper tape) can be stored on one floppy
disk.
2.7.2 FANUC Floppy Cassette
When the Floppy Cassette is connected to the CNC, machining
programs stored in the CNC can be saved on a Floppy Cassette, and
machining programs saved in the Floppy Cassette can be transferred to
the CNC.
