System backs up CNC files automatically

FANUC America Corp. has introduced FASBacCNC (FOCAS Automation Solution Backup CNC), a network-based backup system for FANUC CNCs.

The system automatically backs up CNC files that have been created and customized by the machine tool builder or end user to a remote network server, eliminating the risk of extended downtime as a result of the loss of critical files on the CNC following a hardware failure or operational mistake. Files backed up can include CNC parameters, PMC ladder and parameters, custom macros and variables, part programs, tool offsets, and workpiece coordinate system offsets.

This front-end application interfaces with the manufacturer’s FASConnect server for file browsing, scheduling, and backup operations for FOCAS-enabled CNCs.
