On October 11, engineer from Fanuc’s San Francisco branch arrived at our production facility to help us with the Fanuc control system upgrade. One of our CNC machine control system is upgraded from Fanuc oi-mf D4G1-18 to Fanuc oi-mf D4G1-38.

After the system is upgraded, we can use the Program Transfer Tool software developed by Fanuc to drag and drop the NC program directly from the PC to the CF card inserted in the CNC controller, and then DNC NC programs from the CF card directly.

The new CNC control system greatly increases productivity, saves many finger-press-button works and DNC from CF card is also very stable than DNC from Ethernet, it also avoided to buy expensive Fanuc Data Server for DNC large NC program purpose.

For the CNC machines built early with old control system before version Fanuc oi-mf, the NC programs cannot be directly transferred from the PC to the CF card through the Ethernet network. It can only use Data Server, so Data Server is still useful for old CNC machines.

Equipped with new CNC machines, new upgraded system, and efficient machining capabilities, it makes SYD Precision an advantage when quoting new jobs for customers.

We recently purchased a 4-axis table for our Fanuc oi-mf CNC machine. It is sold by ATS Systems Inc USA, the model is RT160.

With the setup of 4-axis table, we are able to machine many complicated round parts. It can greatly reduce the setting time and expend our machine shop’s capability.

After just two months time, we bought another brand new CNC machine, it is also equipped with latest fanuc-oi-mf controller. The NC programs can be drag and drop into controller’s CF card via Ethernet cable, then DNC running the nc program. In this case, the very expensive fanuc data server is no long needed, save a lot of money.

It is the best 2018 Christmas gift for SYD Precision, thanks the machine moving company, they shipped the machine from Michigan.

With two brand new CNC machines, small projects lead time can be greatly shortened.

After monthly searching and looking, at the help of the industrial property agent Matt, finally we rented this CNC machine shop space at Hayward Business Center.

After shop floor pressure washing, painting, our first brand new CNC machine is moved in.

The technician flew to San Jose from Taiwan to help setup and fine tune the machine.

The first sample machined is shining and awesome.
