FMC (FAGOR MACHINING
CALCULATOR).
The FMC application consists of a database of materials to be machined and machining
operations (milling and turning) and an interface to choose suitable cutting conditions,
particularly the feedrate of the axes (F) and the turning speed of the spindle (S). After
selecting a particular material and operation, the FMC offers a range of recommended cutting
conditions. The user must choose the desired cutting conditions and a tool among those
offered. Using this data, the application calculates the optimal F and S values for the
machining.
The user can insert the obtained result in a part-program or canned cycle. The FMC main
window allows for the selection of the data to be inserted.
• In the part-program, the FMC enters one block for each selected data. Each block
introduced by the FMC is accompanied by a comment indicating the material, operation
and associated tool.
• In a canned cycle, the FMC completes the associated data for the feedrate (F), speed
(S) and tool number (T).
To take full advantage of the FMC’s capabilities, the tools to be used must be fully defined
on the tool table - type of tool, diameter and number of teeth.

• In any CNC mode or in the cycle editor, press the [CALC] key (or [CTRL] [K]
keys). By calling the calculator in this manner, the FMC allows the calculated
values to be inserted into the cycle or in the ISO editor.
• In the canned cycle editor, place the icon on the F or S field and press
[RECALL]. By calling the calculator in this manner, the FMC allows the
calculated values to be inserted into the cycle.
• The calculator can also be accessed from the task window ([CTRL] [A] keys),
the "Accelerators" tab or “calculator” option.
The same key can access both the arithmetic calculator and the FMC
calculator. The arithmetic calculator will have a softkey access to the
FMC calculator and vice versa.
