New high-performance CNC series

The 'FS500i-A' CNC controller from Fanuc, which was presented in the development phase as the 'FS 50i-A', offers 2.7 times higher CPU performance and, according to the manufacturer, enables faster cycle times, improved 5-axis simultaneous machining and better surface quality.

Machine users can digitally simulate and test all CNC-controlled machining processes. Thanks to software solutions such as G-code simulation and Smart Digital Twin technology, machining processes can be displayed in real time. The CNC from Fanuc complies with the international cyber security standard IEC 62443 for industrial automation and control systems.
