Technical Description

The Fagor 8055 TC CNC lathe combines compact control architecture with versatile machining capabilities for turning operations. With a 24-inch swing and 75-inch machining length, this machine delivers substantial production capacity while maintaining operational efficiency. The Fagor 8055 TC control features multiple communication ports including RS-232 serial, USB, and optional Ethernet connectivity for seamless integration into modern shop environments. The system functions as a digital readout during manual operations, a motion controller for semi-automatic work, and a full CNC control for automated production. The control integrates a high-speed PLC with 16 digital inputs and 8 outputs, supporting both conventional analog drive communication and advanced digital servo protocols. Programming capabilities include comprehensive turning cycles across two levels, featuring facing, taper turning, and thread repair functions with API compliance and multi-entry threading support. The system offers linear, circular, and helical interpolation with tangential control and RTCP functionality for precision contouring. Operational features include constant surface speed (G96) and constant tool center speed (G97) modes, electronic handwheel control, and tool calibration automation with intuitive graphics. The control supports up to 256-tool magazine management with automatic tool data backup during offline periods. Its rugged sealed keyboard and enclosed design accommodate demanding shop environments, while the conversational part programming interface simplifies complex operations, making it accessible for both novice and experienced operators seeking reliable, production-ready performance.
