Fanuc Custom Macro A – Milling and Turning

Course description

To ensure a positive learning experience course size is limited to 6 attendees.

Cost of course is £300.00 + VAT per attendee.

CNC Programming with the use of Fanuc Custom Macro A, enables you to design and implement macro programming techniques that result in accuracy, repeatability, and enhanced productivity (ideal for a family of parts). The course begins with step-by-step instructions and then gradually proceeds in complexity.

Programming examples will follow Fanuc’s Custom Macro A language, and by the end of the course, you will be able to develop and understand programs that exploit the full potential of your CNC machines.

Applicants must already be well versed in Fanuc or similar programming and a good understanding of Mathematics would be advisable.

Please note that this method of programming has been superseded by the Fanuc Custom Macro B Programming System, and applicants should only use this course if they have older type machines or Macro A programs that need to be converted or understood.
