Fanuc Parameter 1860 Full Review

Do not use Parameter 1860 to compensate for a worn ballscrew or loose coupling. Fix the mechanical problem first. Case Study: Correcting a Lost Zero After Battery Failure Situation: A Fanuc Robodrill (16i control) lost absolute encoder batteries over the weekend. After replacing batteries, the Z-axis zero was off by -12.345 mm (the tool changer finger crashed into the spindle).

Introduction In the world of CNC machining, precision is everything. A misalignment of just 0.001 inches can scrap a part costing thousands of dollars. Among the hundreds of system parameters that control a Fanuc CNC controller, Parameter 1860 often stands out as both a powerful tool and a potential hazard. fanuc parameter 1860 full
