An abundant array of capabilities to control transfer lines
FANUC Series 31i-MODEL A
FANUC Series 31i-MODEL A features an abundant array of capabilities and superb reliability, which make the CNC most suitable for controlling transfer lines. A significant enhancement has been made in its high-speed, large-capacity and multi-path PMC with expansion in its ladderinstructions, and by an added function of FANUC NC GuidePro to verify PMC ladderprogram. FANUC also plans to develop a PMC Function Block capability, which meets the IEC61131-3 Standards, to facilitate PMC ladder programming.
