Fagor Automation spreads its image and know-how in Milan

10/02/2009

 

  

This company, one of the main manufacturers of CNC and feedback systems in the world will attend the EMO'09 with a new booth design to present its star products.

 

Ten staff members of the Basque company, part of Mondragon Corporation, the largest cooperative group in the world, will attend to the visitors of the EMO exhibition from the 5th to the 10th of October in booth G11 of Hall 3.

 

The new-design booth has four exhibition areas, each one dedicated to their successful products: The 8065 CNC, new axis and spindle motors, the longest absolute linear encoder on the market and the digital readouts. The booth also has a common area for private meetings and open spaces from where to view the demos of the new 8065 CNC, system that will revolutionize the CNC market.

 

With this new rendezvous, Fagor Automation shows its capability and interest in maintaining its contribution of added value to the sector.

 

8065 CNC. Latest generation in design and functionality

 

Fagor's new 8065 CNC is adapted to the new market demands, with considerable improvement in the productivity and functionality of the machine and an avant-garde design that includes mold keyboards, rear mounting, USB port, mouse integrated into the keyboard and touch-screen monitor. 8055 CNC users as well as 8070 CNC users will operate the 8065 CNC easily because it offers both accessing methods. They need not learn a new way because they can keep using the one they are already used to. 8055 CNC users will keep using the "Main menu" key to access the main screen and 8070 CNC users will use the keys to access the automatic, jog and edit modes. Its interface is easier and more pleasant than that of its predecessors, with Pop-up function for vertical sub-menus, new colors and simple screens to adapt it to the operator's working methods. Its programming format is compatible with the 8055 CNC and the 8070 CNC, it offers the conversational language, tool inspection and some more realistic 3D solid graphics during program execution and simulation.

 

The longest linear encoder on the market: up to 30 m of measuring length (travel)

 

Likewise, the EMO'09 visitors can enjoy the presentation of the absolute linear encoder of up to 30 m of measuring length, the longest on the market, designed and manufactured by Fagor Automation, leader in encoder manufacturing.

 

Fagor Automation's sealed linear encoders provide a robust and reliable solution for applications requiring high levels of positional control in demanding operating conditions and environments. The mechanical, electronic and optical design of the linear encoders ensures consistency in technical specification and functional characteristics and minimizes the effect of errors that may be caused by various external sources (temperature, vibration, noise, etc.)

 

Among them, absolute linear encoders make direct and immediate measuring possible with digital communication and protocol compatible with the main CNC manufacturers like FANUC, Siemens, MITSUBISHI CNC or Panasonic and, of course, FAGOR. Among their characteristics the following are worth mentioning: excellent performance up to 120 m/min, vibration up to 20g, measuring accuracy of ±5 µm/m and ±3 µm/m (depending on model) and TDMS mounting system that provide added value to the systems to which they are connected.

 

Better and better, also in spindle and axis motors

 

For this EMO edition, Fagor Automation further expands its range of motors. It launches a new series of spindle motors FM9, mainly oriented to large lathes with power outputs between 60kW and 130kW. The range of axis motors has also been expanded with the FKM9, with torque between 68Nm and 115Nm. Fagor Automation's new axis motors are mainly oriented to large milling machines that handle heavy parts.

 

 

New times, new challenges

 

Fagor Automation is preparing the serial manufacturing of the 8065 CNC by 2010 and it is currently researching, developing and manufacturing products for machine automation and control, 80% of which they export through their wide distribution and service network with 30 branch offices and 45 distributors worldwide.
This cooperative (employee-owned) company, located in the Basque city of Mondragón (northern Spain), excels by its capability to develop software and the versatility of its productive process to offer specific solutions according to the needs of their custome.
