Precision Machining Technology Show

FANUC America will feature their latest CNC HMI, an interactive collaborative robotics demonstration, shop floor data management solutions and machining simulator for training or education applications at the Precision Machining Technology Show, April 2-4, in Cleveland, booth #4107.cnc precision machining parts
iHMI
The new FANUC iHMI provides a simple, efficient and intuitive way to interact with FANUC CNCs. The iHMI features a new look with new hardware, including a flat-panel touch-screen display and highly graphical straightforward navigation.
iHMI also incorporates a variety of new tools and features designed to increase ease-of-use, improve operational efficiency and bring more control to the shop floor. Following a Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) process model, iHMI features focus on three key areas: Planning, Machining, and Improvement.
The iHMI also has soft-touch keys and a hardened outer shell with greater resistance to corrosive materials like cooling fluid. iHMI is available in horizontal and vertical configurations with 10.4”, 15”, or 19” panel sizes.
Collaborative Robots
FANUC’s power and force limiting collaborative robots are equipped with very sensitive contact detection allowing them to share workstations with people. This is a major safety and floor space savings benefit as it allows the robot to perform more strenuous tasks or repetitive operations without the need for expensive industrial safety barriers.
At the show, a FANUC CR-4iA collaborative robot will provide lanyards to attendees. The robot uses iRVision to locate lanyards hanging on a rack, pick a lanyard and present it to a guest.
FANUC offers the widest range of collaborative robots in the industry – six models with payloads of 4-35kg. All of FANUC’s power- and force-limiting collaborative robots are green to easily distinguish them from the standard yellow FANUC robots.
