Fanuc Custom Macro A – Milling & Turning

CNC Programming with the use of Fanuc Custom Macro A, enables you to design and implement macro programming techniques that result in accuracy, repeatability, and enhanced productivity (ideal for a family of parts). The course begins with step-by-step instructions and then gradually proceeds in complexity.

Programming examples will follow Fanuc's Custom Macro A language, and by the end of the course, you will be able to develop & understand programs that exploit the full potential of your CNC machines.

Applicants must already be well versed in Fanuc or similar programming and a good understanding of Mathematics would be advisable.

Please note that this method of programming has been superseded by the Fanuc Custom Macro B Programming System, and applicants should only use this course if they have older type machines or Macro A programs that need to be converted or understood.
