EGURO PEGASUS CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The FANUC 18i-TB is an ultra-compact, ultra-thin CNC control system designed for precision machining applications. This industrial-grade controller features an integrated LCD display, with the TB variant specifically offering a 10.4-inch mounted LCD interface for operator control and monitoring. The system supports advanced multi-axis control capabilities, accommodating up to 18 axes across dual CPU configurations with multiple path support, allowing complex simultaneous machine operations. The 18i-TB incorporates comprehensive I/O functionality with maximum digital input/output capacity of 1024/1024 or 2048/2048 points, enabling seamless integration with external devices and machine peripherals. Communication is facilitated through RS232 serial connectivity with configurable baud rates up to 19200 bps, supporting standard handshaking protocols (RTS/CTS) for reliable program transfer and data exchange. The controller supports multiple data input/output methods including PPR (FANUC Portable Paper Reader) and cassette-based program loading, providing flexible program management options. Advanced machining capabilities include polar coordinate interpolation, constant surface speed control with programmable maximum spindle speed limits, rigid tapping, and synchronous feed guidance via handwheel control. The system implements comprehensive parameter configuration through intuitive HANDY screens and MDI mode operation, allowing technicians to customize machine behavior for specific applications. With its compact design, network integration features, and robust axis control, the FANUC 18i-TB serves as a reliable control solution for precision turning, milling, and multi-function machining operations with an effective swing capacity of 7.87 inches.
