Super CAP M and Super CAP II M are performed by using conversational
control software and a custom macro program. In Super CAP M and
Super CAP II M, therefore, many macro instructions dedicated to
conversational operation are provided as well as the standard custom
macro instructions. FANUC supplies a standard macro library to the
machine tool builder. The machine tool builder can make additions and
modifications to the standard macro library to develop unique functions.
The following sections explain the specifications of the conversational
automatic programming function of the standard macro library supplied
by FANUC.
Super CAP II M is a development of Super CAP M. It features the
following new functions:
(1)Background color for the display screen; 3–D frames for the windows
and soft keys.
(2)Finer and faster machining simulation based on a solid model.
(3)Cross–sectional display of a product based on a solid model.
(4)Selectable screen colors; up to four color schemes can be registered
(5)Improved visual interface for contour machining, with display of the
contour figure during contour programming.
All other functions, such as screen displays, key operations, and
machining functions, are the same as those of super CAP M.
Moreover, machining programs, tool data, and conversational function
parameters created with Super CAP M can also be used with Super CAP
II M.
