The solution for simple machines
Fagor Automation has been characterized in history for providing tailored solutions to their
[Link] offers high-end products for highly demanding machines and also provides
solutions for simpler machines with products like the CNC 8037.
This CNC originates from the platform of the CNC 8055 but adapting its operation and features
to the needs of simpler machines simplifying the operator’s everyday operation.
Integral solution
With this product, Fagor Automation continues with its philosophy of offering an integral solution for machines considering
all the devices and servo systems that make up the machine in order to achieve its maximum performance while making the
operator’s job easier.
When using several suppliers, integrating all those systems to make them work reliably and in coordination becomes
cumbersome and often complicated.
Fagor Automation also offers the possibility to integrate third-party systems in combination with their products in order to
provide the manufacturer flexibility when selecting the components of his machines.

Operation
Operating with programs
The Fagor CNC 8037 offers the user several
ways to save his programs.
CNC memory
The units come with 1 MB of RAM memory and a 512 MB
Compact Flash as standard for the user to save his programs.
Remote memory
They also offer the possibility to use the memory of a remote
PC for the same purpose.
The user can launch (run) those programs in two ways:
CNC Memory
• Accessing the PC memory from the CNC and selecting the
program.
• R
emotely, using the Fagor WinDnc communication
RS232 software.
ETHERNET
USB Program portability
The operator can use the Ethernet communication ports
or the RS232 serial line for exchanging programs with an
external PC. A USB connector is also offered to exchange
files with a pendrive.
Matchless operation
Accessing the various operating modes of
the CNC 8037 is fast and intuitive through
hot keys and submenus.
The user can run a simulation of the part before starting its
real execution being able to:
• C
heck that the machining paths have been properly
programmed and no unexpected movements take place.
• Check that the part has been properly programmed.
• R
un a part execution time estimation. This feature is very
useful when making parts on demand because it helps
calculate the budget by estimating how long it will take to
make the parts.
The user has the possibility to advance work while executing
the program. The CNC 8037 offers the “background
programming” feature that allows editing new programs while
executing a different program. Machine productivity may be
increased thanks to this type of features.

Programming
Flexible and intuitive
The ISO language offered by all the models of the CNC 8037 may be used for large series where
optimizing the program is most important so execution time is as short as possible.
Teach-in editing Teach-in editing
With the CNC 8037, it is possible to save the manual
operations of the operator in a single program. This helps
operators who are not used to CNC machine create
programs very intuitively and execute them later on without
having to repeat the whole manual process.
To program the coordinates, just jog the machine with
the JOG keys or with the electronic handwheel to the
desired position and press the key of the axis or axes to be
programmed. The CNC generates a block to move to that
position.
By combining features like the interactive editor and the
Teach-in editor, going from the blueprint of the part to
machining it is done easily and intuitively in just a few steps,
even for users coming from conventional machines without
prior programming knowledge.
Editing through predefined cycles
The ISO language helps optimize the execution of programs
to achieve the best machining time. For that, it requires taking
into account all the machine movements, machining passes,
tools, axis feed rates, spindle speed, etc. which increases the
chances of making mistakes that could cause personal injury
or damage to the machine.
In order to minimize these risks and making programming
easier, the CNC 8037 offers a long list of predefined cycles
(called canned cycles).
Editing through predefined cycles
Machine productivity increases thanks to the fact that these
cycles require very little data to define the whole machining
process. Programming time is reduced considerably.
On the other hand, using these can cycles minimizes risks
when dealing with movements because they take all preset
machining conditions under consideration.

Interactive editor Interactive editor
Within ISO programming, Fagor offers an interactive editor
for making more complex parts. It is a dialog-based guided
editing method. The CNC guides the operator through the
help screens that request the data for the selected operation.
In the case of predefined cycles mentioned earlier, the user
needs to know the various codes and variables for the
operation to perform; i.e. he needs prior knowledge. With
this programming system, no expert ISO programming
knowledge is required, just the basics.
This editing method only lets you enter the requested data,
hence making it impossible to generate wrong or incomplete
blocks. The cycle will consider all the movements, machining
passes, tools, axis feed rates, spindle speeds, consequently
preventing programming errors and potential risks at the
machine.

For preparation and during execution
Calibrations Corrective actions
For proper machining, the CNC has to know the dimensions
of the tools. Fagor Automation offers several options for
setting them:
• A
fter pre-setting off the machine, entering that data into the
CNC.
• U
sing a master part of known dimensions. Just approach
the tool and touch the part so the CNC automatically
calculates and assumes the real dimensions of the tool.
Corrective actions
While using the tools, the user can take different corrective
actions:
• C
ompensate for tool wear. Fagor Automation offers the
possibility to make this correction either manually or
automatically using the cycles developed for this purpose.
• C
heck tool status. The operator can interrupt the
execution of the machining operation and if he detects tool
deficiencies, he can apply corrections or replace it with
another one if necessary.
• If no identical tool is available, Fagor CNC’s let the
operator select another one of different characteristics
(length, radius). In this case, the CNC recalculates the next
machining paths according to the new selected tool.
Zero offsets
Zero offsets
With the CNC 8037, it is possible to define several reference
points on the machine and save them in memory to be used
later on. In later machining operations, the user can recover
these reference points without having to calculate them again
and, thus, avoid possible errors.
