NC-100: Fanuc CNC Basic Machine Troubleshooting

Description

This course is designed for technicians who will be troubleshooting Fanuc controlled machinery.  It will concentrate on the use of ladder logic and various diagnostic screens to troubleshoot machine problems.  During the course the student will examine the ladder logic in detail for one machine. During this process we will also cover various programming techniques used by other machine builders.   Multiple circuits, including M-codes, spindle commands, interlocks and alarms, will be covered.

Customer Supplied Training Equipment

This class is available on site or at our location.  If done on site, the customer will provide a classroom suitable for training purposes.  A 220VAC supply will be needed for the simulator.

Topical Outline
  • Terminology used to describe the machine.
  • Discuss metal cutting and how it affects the machine.
  • Discuss basic commands such as G, F, M, S and T codes.
  • Identifying control types, software versions, machine models.
  • Identify the major components in the control.
  • Show how the machine control handles movement and I/O.
  • Observe control screens used to diagnose errors.
  • Learn to safely test the major components on the machine.
  • Learn to distinguish between Fanuc and machine alarms.
  • Use of the diagnostic and ladder logic screens to trace errors.

 

If you wish to add, remove or concentrate on any of the topics please let us know.  We will accommodate any special requests. 

Prerequisites

Participants should have a good basic knowledge of electronics and the ability to use test instruments such as multi-meters.

NC-200: Fanuc CNC Advanced Machine Troubleshooting

Description

This course is designed for technicians who will be troubleshooting CNC equipment with Fanuc controls.  We will emphasize the importance for technicians to fully understand how the electronics and mechanics interact in order to troubleshoot a problem. The course will cover the three primary areas of CNC troubleshooting:

  • Electrical
  • Mechanical
  • Environmental

 Customer Supplied Training Equipment & Schematics

This class is available on site or at our location.  If done on site, the customer must provide a classroom suitable for training purposes.  A 220VAC supply will be needed for the simulator.
Topical Outline

During the course the students will assemble a CNC machine.  This includes items such as box and linear guide rails, gibbs, ballscrews and a lubrication system.  Once this is complete, the students will add the motors, servo drives and all of the necessary wiring.  In the next step they will install the control, operator panel, parameters and ladder logic.   As they assemble the machine we will discuss each component, how to adjust it, and how it can fail.

 

We will cover the interface between the CNC and the machine tool in detail.  After the assembly, errors will be introduced into the machine.  The students will use what they have learned in class to diagnose the problems.  The students will also be presented with various scenarios dealing with machine failures.  They will discuss potential causes for the failure and determine a logical series of tests in order to quickly isolate the problem.
