Reads the absolute position data of axis specified with 'axis'. The absolute position is stored in 'data[0]' of 'ODBAXIS'.

FANUC servo amplifiers. Users of any control motor amplifier model are requested to read the ”Safety Precautions” carefully before first using the amplifier. Users should also read the relevant description in this manual to become fully familiar with the functions of the servo amplifier. Fanuc X Axis Velocity Control Unit Manual.pdf a06b-6047 fanuc dc axis velocity control unit drives the fanuc dc m series axis controller drives come with single axis or twin axis and can drive from model 00m upto model 30m in standard configuarations. All dc axis drive services cnc offers come with a 180 day warranty offered. . FANUC motors are designed for use with machines. Do not use them for any other purpose. If a FANUC motor is used for an unintended purpose, it may cause an unexpected symptom or trouble. If you want to use a motor for an unintended purpose, previously consult with FANUC. Ensure that a base or frame on which a motor is mounted is strong.

All axes can be read at a time by specifying ALL_AXES for 'axis'. In that case, an absolute position of each axis is stored in the data array of ODBAXIS.

The decimal point position of the absolute position can be acquired in the cnc_getfigure function.

• Series 15/15i

The relation to the read absolute position, amount of Tool Length Compensation and Cutter Radius Compensation, and amount of servo delay and acceleration/deceleration delay follows setting the CNC parameter of the following description.

• Series 16/18/21, 16i/18i/21i, 0i-A/B/C, Power Mate i

Amount of Tool Length Compensation and Cutter Radius Compensation, and amount of servo delay and acceleration/deceleration delay is always included in the read absolute position.

• Series 16i/18i-W

Amounts of Wire diameter Compensation, amounts of servo delay and acceleration/deceleration delay is always included in the read absolute position.

• Series 30i/31i/32i, 0i-D/F, Power Motion i-A

Amount of Tool Length Compensation and Cutter Radius Compensation is always included in the read absolute position. But, amount of servo delay and acceleration/deceleration delay is not included.

Pointer to the ODBAXIS structure including the absolute position data of the controlled axes. The ODBAXIS structure is as follows.

Return

EW_OK is returned on successful completion, otherwise any value except EW_OK is returned.

The major error codes are as follows.

As for the other return codes or the details, see 'Return status of Data window function'

CNC option

For HSSB connection,

The extended driver/library function is necessary.

For Ethernet connection,

The Ethernet function and the extended driver/library function are necessary.

However, in case of Series 16i/18i/21i-B, 0i-B/C/D/F, Series 30i and PMi-A, the required CNC option is as follows.

When Embedded Ethernet is used,

above two optional functions are not required.

When Ethernet board is used,

only Ethernet function is required.

CNC GUIDE is currently available for free. Source: FANUC

FANUC America Corp. this week said it is offering a free trial version of CNC Guide, its PC-based virtualization platform for control design, training, and part planning. The Rochester Hills, Mich.-based subsidiary of FANUC Corp. said it is offering the simulation tool at no cost to help machine-tool operators and builders through the economic difficulties around the COVID-19 pandemic.

CNC Guide offers a safe and immersive way to learn how to operate computer numerical control machines, even for novice operators, said FANUC. Because the software creates digital twins of machine controls, programmers can test G-code programs with no risk of damaging actual machines, it said.

CNC Guide designed to aid machine tool operators, builders

CNC Guide can also help optimize machining operations because users can experiment in the virtual environment with performance-enhancing features in the controls, said FANUC. In addition, when used with the vendor’s conversational programming tool, Manual Guide i, the software can act as a simplified CAD/CAM package.

The platform is intended to enable programming on a PC instead of the machine tool, so equipment stays in production to minimize downtime and maximize throughput, FANUC said. The company’s global headquarters are in Japan.

Not only can CNC Guide help machine tool operators, but builders can also benefit, said FANUC. Machine tool builders can get a competitive edge by using CNC Guide to prove out their design concepts faster and get their equipment quicker to market, the company claimed.

CNC Guide is available for free only through September 2020, and it is available to FANUC America customers residing in the U.S. Interested parties should contact FANUC through the CNC Guide Trial Offering page to get started.

FANUC adds five-axis simulation to training

FANUC America also announced this month that it has added five-axis simulation to its CNC training offerings. It said that interest in five-axis machining has grown as more manufacturers look to produce complex parts for high-tech industries such as aerospace and medical devices.

As this sector of the machine tool business increases, the demand for five-axis operators will grow exponentially, said the company. Finding qualified operators is a challenge for many employers, which are already facing shortages of skilled labor. Training new or existing workers in an effective and innovative way will be key to bridging this gap, said the company.

FANUC’s Machining Simulation for Workforce Development provides training for controls operation and part programming in a virtual environment. The Complex Milling Extension option combines FANUC’s CNC Guide and simulation software, so they can now operate as one of the three main five-axis mill kinematics.

The offering also includes training on a three-axis mill and a two-axis lathe for maximum configuration flexibility, said FANUC. Via a digital twin, the five-axis machining simulation allows users to learn how to setup and operate three common advanced five-axis milling machines: mixed type, tool type, and table type.

FANUC said the addition of five-axis simulation to its CNC Guide and simulation software offers an immersive environment to practice and understand advanced machining techniques. Since five-axis machining involves more complex machine setups, the simulation software effectively teaches users how to take advantage of the unique options and features.

In addition, the five-axis machining simulation software allows operators to experiment with and prove out the machine setup and/or part program before modifying the actual machine, the company said.
