The new FS500i-A offers several important innovations. For instance, operators are set to benefit from FANUC’s new iHMI2 CNC interface, which maintains the appealing look and feel of FANUC’s iHMI but combines it with the familiar operability of legacy systems. For every task, all interactions can be handled on one screen so that there is no need to jump between several of them. The FS500i-A also provides the potential to program PMC (programmable machine control) systems using ISO-defined Structured Text language, while a further new function is the simplification of processes that require programming in five axes. Specifically, using a special tool, the FS500i-A offers the ability to accommodate any arbitrary machine kinematics.

FANUC offers the widest range of drive systems on the market: servo and spindle motors of all
sizes in optimised packages with perfect matching amplifiers. That’s our strength. You’ll always
find the best system delivering perfect results for your requirements – with outstanding
performance and work piece surface quality.
All FANUC motors and amplifiers are developed and manufactured in-house at FANUC Japan.
This results in superior functional reliability, ease of availability, simple installation and
maintenance, and optimised energy efficiency.

FANUC’s Power Motion i-MODEL A Plus is the only CNC that is dedicated to the motion control market. More versatile than a PLC, it adds all the benefits of a high-response CNC to your motion control. The integrated ultra-fast PLC processor controls and monitors rapid and smart operation of the machine’s auxiliary devices. Up to five ladder logic programs can be executed at the same time for a total of 24,000 to 300,000 steps. This makes it ideally suited to a wide range of applications requiring everything from positioning to high-performance, multiple-axes or complex motion applications.
