JERGENS - CONTINUING TO ADVANCE ADVANCED WORKHOLDING
times created in 2020, Fanuc is offering this simulation tool at no cost. CNC Guide offers an immersive and safe way to learn how to operate CNCs, even for novice operators. Because the software creates digital twins of machine controls, programmers can test G-code programs with no risk of damaging actual machines.
CNC Guide can also help optimize machining operations since users can experiment in the virtual environment with performance-enhancing features in Fanuc controls. In addition, the soft- ware used in tandem with their conver- sational programming tool, MANUAL GUIDE i, can act as a simplified CAD/ CAM package.

This limited-time offer is good only through September 2020 and available to Fanuc America customers residing in the U.S. Interested parties need to contact Fanuc through the CNC GUIDE trial offering page on their web page to get started.
