1.1 Outline

FANUC Series 0i-MF Plus CNC is the latest AI nano CNC that realizes high-
speed, high-precision machining. This CNC is equipped with Fine Surface
Technology (FST) to achieve fine surface machining required for Die & Mould
applications.

This document describes the supporting functions for fine surface machining
and its procedure.

1.2 AICCⅡ+ and Smooth Tolerance + Command Format:
The AI contour control II+ functions are provided for high-speed, high-precision
machining. This function enables suppression of acceleration/deceleration
delays and servo delays that become larger with increases in the feedrate and
reduction of machining profile errors.
Smooth tolerance+ control is a function that generates smooth machining path
within specified tolerance. In the case of die mold machining program that
consists of small line segments, this function acts as smoothing function and
makes joints of blocks smooth. As the result, machining surface gets high
quality.

Moreover, operators can select an effective setting pattern depending on the

machining conditions.

Command Format:

shape is set. Set same tolerance value in the below shown setting screen.
2. Set Tolerance value same for Semi finish and finish.
3. Standard setting value of 10µm, which will come with the machine. This
value can be changed based on the requirement.

Procedure for Tolerance Setting:

1. Select MDI mode
2. Press OFS/SET MDI Key →RIGHT arrow → MCNSET SELECT →Input
the TOLERANCE for Semi-finish and Finish.

1.3 Quick Program Restart
Generally, the following operations are required when machining is interrupted
due to a reason such as a damaged tool/ power failure and is restarted:
1. Removing the cause which interrupted the machining.
2. Locating the interrupted point in the program.
3. Restoring the machine to the suitable status (including the auxiliary functions
like coolant on, tool call status and spindle status).
4. Moving the tool to the position suitable for restarting the machining.
5. Resume automatic operation from the interrupted block or before several
blocks.

QPR helps to perform Program Restart in 3 easy steps.

1. Press the softkey [Restart], Restart Point list screen will open.
2. Select a block from list, and push [SEARCH EXEC] key to restart. It
displays program block where the program was interrupted.
3. Press [CYCLE START], Automatic restoration of modal information and
axes moving to restart point and resumes the automatic operation from the
interrupted block.

1.4 On-board creation of FANUCPRG.BIN file
In case of Die & Mould machining program size can be large several hundreds
of MByte. Operators can use the memory card (compact flash) in the card slot to
store and execute such large size programs.

There are two formats to store these program in the memory card as indicated
below:

・Program storage file format [Recommended format]

In this format, program storage file is named as “FANUCPRG.BIN”, and
can be executed in Auto mode.
Programs in program storage file format can be edited on CNC screen.

・Text file format

In this format, programs created in text file format can be executed in
Auto/DNC mode.

NOTE
FANUCPRG.BIN file creation required once we use new memory card.
