an approved CNC curriculum and issue a certificate just as if
they came to one of FANUC’s own training facilities. Schools get credit for all the above

Traditionally, schools train with the lowest cost solution to

maximize the machine-to-student ratio. Now competitive
products are available from FANUC and their machine tool
builder partners at education friendly prices.

FANUC now offers NCGuide Academic Packages, FANUC’s

CNC software running on a PC. It provides 24/7 access to
both of FANUC’s most popular and most advanced CNCs.
Supporting the complete CNC programming, setup and
operation workflow, NCGuide provides students an
opportunity for the most extensive hands-on experience.

The CNC certification cart from Levil Technology and sold

through FANUC’s Education Authorized Resellers brings
new effectiveness to classroom training and new efficiencies
to workshop machines. By bringing the CNC and machine
tool into the classroom, students can be better prepared
when they move into the workshop.

FANUC works with the world’s leading machine tool builders

and a variety of commodity machine tools that are ideal for
education and are now available at education friendly prices.
NCGuide Academic

NCGuide Academic packages are FANUC CNC software running on a PC, providing a 100% authentic
operation and part programming environment at a fraction of the cost of using a hardware simulator or a
workshop machine tool. Comprehension and retention is enhanced as students perform repetitive hands-
on exercises in an ergonomically friendly environment with 24/7 access. Students can practice common
procedures, complete assignments and experiment safely with minimum supervision and without risks to
people, tooling or machines.

Creating and editing part programs
Part programs can be created using the standard CNC part
program G-code word editors or using MANUAL GUIDE i
conversational programming screens. NCGuide supports
both turning and milling controls.

MANUAL GUIDE i conversational programming simplifies

part programming and focuses the student on the sequence
of operations before they learn the actual G-code.

Loading and saving part programs

Part programs can be created externally using a PC-based
editor or a CAD/CAM post processor. Programs created in
NCGuide CNCs can be transferred to a real machine.

Programs, tool offsets and workpiece coordinate system

offsets and other files can be input to and output from
NCGuide CNCs using the standard I/O screens and a virtual
memory card interface. The virtual memory card may be
located on a USB memory stick for student convenience, or
on any directory on the PC or on a remote network drive.

Graphical program verification

Before executing a part program on a machine tool, it is
common to check it for syntax problems and ensure the
correct order of operations. Verification is best achieved
using a graphics display.

NCGuide supports both the standard GRAPH tool path

plotting display and a 3D solid model machining simulation
that are exactly the same as those on the real CNC.

Tool and work offsets

NCGuide CNCs support tool geometry and tool wear offsets
and workpiece coordinate system offsets for complete
machine setup workflow exercises.

Industrial quality machine

The certification cart machine is designed for 24/7 industrial
production of small parts in a variety of materials including
brass, aluminum and soft steel. It is not your typical
education lab machine, rather it is an industrial quality
machine. It features a high-speed 17,000 RPM, 2HP liquid
cooled spindle, a surprisingly large axis motion range (16.5”
X 8.5” x 7.5”) and an integrated coolant system.

The eleven station automatic tool changer uses standard

S20T tool holders that can accept a maximum tool size of
3/8”. It is programmed with the usual Txx M06 G-code and
delivers a chip-to-chip tool change time of 8-seconds. An
economic tool length sensor and a touch probe are available
options for training on automated setup.
