Monitor CNCs Remotely with Tablet-Type Devices

FANUC FA America (Hoffman Estates, IL) has an option which allows the Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL B CNCs to be monitored remotely using tablet-type devices. This advancement in remote monitoring greatly enhances the maintainability and production capabilities of the FANUC CNC.

The most innovative Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL B CNC is now capable of acting as a web server. It allows you to display CNC screens on any device on your network; for example, over wireless Ethernet to communicate with a tablet-type device. This ability allows maintenance or production personnel on the shop floor to monitor all the CNC equipment from across the shop in one location and on one device.

Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL B CNCs are the best in class for performance and reliability for standard CNC applications up to the most complex machine tools and non-traditional applications. For advanced smooth and accurate simultaneous 5-axis high-speed machining, 30i-B/31i-B5 CNCs boast the new High-Speed Smooth TCP with new fairing technology.  This drastically reduces cycle times while improving part accuracy and quality.  For complex machining processes, this is the ideal combination of reliability and modern high speed 5-axis features.
