CNC line features software

The company has announced that Gibbs SFP (shopfloor programming) will be included as a standard feature in Fadal's entire line of CNC machine tools, which incorporate Fadal's new 104/D controller. According to the company, built-in programming tools have been expanded to provide machining solutions for users.

The shopfloor programming is fully compatible with the off-line GibbsCam software, allowing process models to be exchanged between the two. Programming offices can forward high-content process models to the machine tool. At that point, the operator can review the models and make necessary adjustments. These modifications may be saved and sent back to the programming office for future reference.
