WARRANTY TERMS
INITIAL WARRANTY
All products manufactured or marketed by FAGOR carry a 12-month warranty for the end user which could
be controlled by the our service network by means of the warranty control system established by FAGOR
for this purpose.
In order to prevent the possibility of having the time period from the time a product leaves our warehouse
until the end user actually receives it run against this 12-month warranty, FAGOR has set up a warranty
control system based on having the manufacturer or agent inform FAGOR of the destination, identification
and on-machine installation date, by filling out the document accompanying each FAGOR product in the
warranty envelope. This system, besides assuring a full year of warranty to the end user, enables our service
network to know about FAGOR equipment coming from other countries into their area of responsibility.
The warranty starting date will be the one appearing as the installation date on the above mentioned
document. FAGOR offers the manufacturer or agent 12 months to sell and install the product. This means
that the warranty starting date may be up to one year after the product has left our warehouse so long as
the warranty control sheet has been sent back to us. This translates into the extension of warranty period
to two years since the product left our warehouse. If this sheet has not been sent to us, the warranty period
ends 15 months from when the product left our warehouse.
This warranty covers all costs of material and labour involved in repairs at FAGOR carried out to correct
malfunctions in the equipment. FAGOR under takes to repair or replace their products within the period from
the moment manufacture begins until 8 years after the date on which it disappears from the catalog.
FAGOR has exclusive competence in deciding whether the repair enters within the term defined as the
warranty period.
EXCLUDING CLAUSES
Repairs will be carried out on our premises. Therefore, all expenses incurred as a result of trips made by
technical personnel to carry out equipment repairs, despite these being within the above-mentioned period
of warranty, are not covered by the warranty.
Said warranty will be applied whenever the equipment has been installed in accordance with instructions,
has not be mistreated, has not been damaged by accident or by negligence and has not been tampered
with by personnel not authorized by FAGOR. If, once servicing or repairs have been made, the cause of
the malfunction cannot be attributed to said elements, the customer is obliged to cover the expenses
incurred, in accordance with the tariffs in force.
Other warranties, implicit or explicit, are not covered and FAGOR AUTOMATION cannot be held responsible
for other damages which may occur.

1.1 Part programs
Editing
To create a part-program, access the Edit mode.
The new part-program edited can be stored in the CNC's RAM memory, in the hard disk (KeyCF)
or in a remote disk. It is also possible to save a copy of the part-programs in a PC connected through
the serial line. See UTILITIES mode.
When using a PC through serial line, proceed as follows:
• Execute the WINDNC application program at the PC.
• Activate DNC communications at the CNC.
• Select the work directory.
Option: Utilities\ Directory\ Serial L.\ Change directory.
In the edit mode, it is possible to modify the part-programs located in the CNC's RAM memory, in
a hard disk (KeyCF) or in a remote disk.
Execution
Part-programs stored anywhere may be executed or simulated.
The user customizing programs must be in RAM memory so the CNC can execute them.
The GOTO and RPT instructions cannot be used in programs that are executed from a PC connected
through the serial line.
Only subroutines stored in the CNC's RAM memory can be executed. Therefore, to execute a
subroutine stored in a PC or in the hard disk, it must be copied into the CNC's RAM memory.
From a program in execution, it is possible to execute another program located in RAM memory,
in a PC or in the hard disk using the EXEC instruction.
Utilities
The utilities mode, lets display the part-program directory of all the devices, make copies, delete,
rename and even set the protections for any of them.
Ethernet
When having the Ethernet option and the CNC has been configured as a node within the computer
network, the following is possible from any PC of the network:
• Access the part-program directory of the hard disk (KeyCF).
• Edit, modify, delete, rename, etc., the programs stored on the hard disk (KeyCF).
• Copy programs from the hard disk to the PC and vice versa.

1.2 Monitor information layout
The monitor is divided into the following areas or display windows:
CNC 8055
CNC 8055i
1. This window indicates the selected operating mode, as well as the program number and the
number of the active block. The program status is also indicated (in execution or interrupted)
and if the DNC is active.
2. This window indicates the time in the " hours : minutes : seconds".
3. This window displays the messages sent to the operator from the part program or via DNC.
The last message received will be shown regardless of where it has come from.
4. This window will display messages from the PLC.
If the PLC activates two or more messages, the CNC will always display the one with the highest
priority, which is the message with the smallest number. In this way, MSG1 will have the highest
priority and MSG255 will have the lowest.
In this case the CNC will display the character + (plus sign), indicating that there are more
messages activated by the PLC, it being possible to display them if the ACTIVE MESSAGE
option is accessed in the PLC mode.
In this window the CNC will also display the character * (asterisk), to indicate that at least one
of the 256 user-defined screens is active.
The screens which are active will be displayed, one by one, if the ACTIVE PAGES option is
accessed in the PLC mode.
5. Main window.
Depending on the operating mode, the CNC will show in this window all the information
necessary.
When a CNC or PLC error is produced the system displays this in a superimposed horizontal
window.
The CNC will always display the most important error. The CNC will show the [] key to indicate
that another less important error has also occurred and to press this key to view its message.
The CNC will show the [] key to indicate that another more important error has also occurred

• The bottom shows the data identifying the version selected in the top half.
Loading the version
To install a version, the user must follow the following procedure:
1. Select, in the left panel, the unit containing the new version to be installed.
To install a new version located in a "remote hard disk" or "USB disk", first transfer the ".f55" file to
the "vers" folder of the hard disk (KeyCF) and then load the version as mentioned next.
2. Place the cursor in the right panel, on the ".f55" file and press the softkey <INSTALL>. After
carrying out this task, it shows a dialog box requesting confirmation to resume the process:
F5 [OK] resume the process
[ESC] abort the process
3. Once the resuming of the operation has been confirmed, the CNC verifies that the file to be
installed is correct. During this operation, it displays a process bar with the message "checking..."
4. Then, it loads the code contained in the ".f55" file into the system flash memory. During this
operation, it displays a process bar with the message "loading..."
5. Finally, it verifies the checksum of the new version installed. This operation is identified with the
message "wait...".
If there is a CNC power outage during any of these processes, when powered back up, it goes on
loading the version from the interruption point.
If the interruption takes place while saving into the flash memory, it first checks the version file.

2.3 KeyCF (KeyCompactFlash)
The KeyCF will store the CNC configuration, i.e. the validation code, the software options, user
screens, PLC program backups and machine parameters. It also has memory for user programs.
Also, the CNC supports the management of several disks at the same time as well as the hard disk
(KeyCF):
• USB disk. The CNC selects a folder of a USB device and it considers it like its own hard disk.
From the user's point of view, the CNC has another hard disk.
• Remote hard disk. The CNC selects a directory of a PC shared in the network and it considers
it like its own hard disk. From the user's point of view, the CNC has a remote hard disk. It will

The purpose of these directories of the hard disk (hard disk, USB disk or remote disk) is to provide
the user with a space to save part-programs, tables, graphic files, etc. in an orderly fashion.
Directory /Prg
By default, this directory of the hard disk will store the user programs.
The OPEN and EXEC instructions can only be used in the subdirectory /Prg of the default hard disk
"by default", i.e. of the hard disk, USB disk or remote hard disk.
Directory /Tab
This directory of the hard disk will store the machine parameters and tables with the same format
OPERATING MODES

and the same name currently stored in the WinDNC.
The files for the parameters of an axis and for leadscrew compensation are stored in the hard disk
by the axis name.
Within the parameter table for an axis, it will offer the option to <load/hard disk>. This option first
checks if the file <APn> is stored:
Operating manual
• Axis parameters: APX, APY, ..., APC.
• Leadscrew parameters: ALX, ALY, ..., ALC.
If it's missing, it checks if the file <MXn> is stored.
• Axis parameters: MX1, MX2, ...
• Leadscrew parameters: US1, US2, ...
The same procedure will be applied with the <load/DNC> option.
Directory /Pan
This directory of the hard disk stores the graphic files with extensions <*.pan>, <*.sim> and <*.wgd>.
Directory /Vers
The user can store the different software versions in this directory of the hard disk.

Accessing the system from other devices
Through the WinDNC
From WinDNC it is possible to access the files of user programs, tables and screens located in the
hard disk as well as those located in the USB disk.
The WinDNC can only display the following devices:
• Memory.
• Default hard disk .
The "default hard disk" will be the first hard disk recognized by the CNC. The order of priorities is:
1.Hard disk (KeyCF).
2.USB disk.
3.Remote hard disk.
At the "default hard disk", only the default directory/Prg can be accessed. The rest of the
subdirectories are not accessible.
2.
Accessing the root directory of the DNC requires a WinDNC version 4.1 or higher. Likewise, sending
tables from/to the hard disk requires a WinDNC version 4.1.
Via FTP
It is possible to access (read and write) tables, machine parameters, graphic files and programs from
the network via FTP. All the disks will be available when accessing a CNC via FTP:
• Hard disk (KeyCF).
• USB disk.
• Remote hard disk.

The Ethernet option permits configuring the CNC as another node within the local area network.
This option makes it possible to communicate with other PC's to transfer files or carrying out
telediagnostic tasks.
To configure the CNC within a computer network, refer to the chapter on machine parameters for
Ethernet in the installation manual.
Once the connection to Ethernet has been configured, the following types of connections are
possible:
• Connection to a remote hard disk.
• Connection to a PC through WinDNC.
• Connection from a PC through an FTP client.
To communicate with the CNC, the PC must be configured just like another node within the local
area network or Internet and it must have the WinDNC (V4.0 or later) installed. The communication
through Ethernet does not require the DNC option.

OPERATIONS VIA ETHERNET
Operating manual
3.1 Remote hard disk
The CNC can have a local hard disk (at the CNC itself) or a remote hard disk accessible through
Ethernet.
The remote hard disk is configured by machine parameters. Refer to the chapter on machine
parameters for Ethernet in the installation manual.
As remote hard disk, it is possible to use the hard disk of a PC or just a folder. This memory space
may be shared by several CNC's or each may have its own memory space. The PC that makes its
hard disk (server) public must be connected to the local network.
The interface and the softkeys of the CNC will the same as if it were a local hard disk. When accessing
the CNC through WinDNC or FTP, the remote hard disk behaves like a local hard disk.
Protocol used
The NFS protocol is used to communicate with the remote hard disk. This protocol must be available
at the PC that is used as server.

3.2 Connection to a PC through WinDNC
The PC operative system must be Windows® and it must have the WinDNC software installed (V4.0
or newer). The CNC must be configured just like another node within the local network or internet.
The access to a DNC server is configured by machine parameters. Refer to the chapter on machine
parameters for Ethernet in the installation manual.
Possible connections:
•From a PC.
The connection may be initiated at any PC and addressed to any CNC. Two PC's cannot be
connected to each other.
To establish the connection, the WinDNC allows the user to enter the CNC's IP address to be
used for the connection.
• From a CNC.
The connection is always addressed to the DNC server. The DNC server is defined by machine
parameters.
Communication status
As with the communication via serial line, the DNC status screen shows its status through Ethernet.
When having the DNC available, the top of the screen shows the message" DNC E". The connection
may be activated and deactivated from the softkey menu.
It is possible to connect several WinDNC (up to 10) simultaneously to the same CNC. The access
protection is by operation. If several WinDNC initiate an operation, the commands are processed
one by one while the rest of the WinDNC's wait.

3.3 Access the CNC's hard disk from a PC
If the CNC is configured like another node in the network, it may be accessed from any PC of the
network knowing its IP. Only the CNC's hard disk may be accessed; i.e. it is not possible to access
programs in RAM nor read variables, tables, etc.
From the PC, it is possible to access the part-program directory of the hard disk and edit, modify,
etc. the programs stored. It is also possible to copy programs from the hard disk to the PC and vice
versa.

Protocol used
The FTP protocol is used to access the hard disk of the CNC. The FTP protocol permits transferring
files between a PC and a CNC connected to a local network or to internet. The FTP client, in charge
of managing the transfer, must be installed at the PC. The interface depends on the FTP client being
used.
The PC operative system may be Windows, Linux or Unix.
Windows® includes an FTP client in its Internet Explorer application from version 5.x on. From
Windows® 98 on, the Windows explorer has its own integrated FTP client.
When accessing the CNC from a PC via FTP, it shows the following directory structure.

The EXECUTE operating mode allows the execution of part programs in automatic mode or in single
block mode.
The SIMULATE operating mode allows the simulation of part-programs in automatic or single block
mode. When wished to SIMULATE a part-program, the CNC will request the type of simulation to
be carried out.
When selecting one of these operating modes, one must indicate the location of the part-program
to be executed or simulated. The part program may be stored in the CNC's internal RAM memory,
in PC connected through the serial line or in the hard disk (KeyCF).
After pressing one of these softkeys, the CNC displays the corresponding part-program directory.
The program may be selected by:
• Keying in its number and pressing [ENTER].
• Positioning the cursor of the screen over the desired program and pressing [ENTER].
The executing or simulating conditions (fist block, type of graphics, etc.) may be set before executing
or simulating the part-program. These conditions may also be modified if the execution or simulation
is interrupted.
To execute or simulate a part-program, press the [START] key.
To switch to JOG mode once executed or simulated a part program (or a section of it), the CNC will
maintain the machining conditions (type of movement, feedrates, etc.) selected while executing or

Feedrate selection.
The program is executed at the feedrate specified in the program and may be modified between
0% and 120% using the switch on the operator panel. When doing a simulation with axis movement,
the feedrate can also be modified with the switch.
The behavior of the rapid key during execution and simulation is set by machine parameters, thus
it may be disabled. When enabled, the rapid key behaves as follows in execution and simulation:
• The movements are carried out in rapid traverse (G00) while the rapid key is pressed.
• The rapid key is ignored while threading, while look-ahead is active.
• If G95 is active, it switches to G94 mode. When releasing the rapid key, it goes back to G95 mode.

4.1 Block search. Switching from simulation to execution
This feature solves a situation that occurred when interrupting a program that was being executed
before it ended. The program may have been interrupted due to a "STOP-RESET", and emergency,
a PLC/CNC error or because the CNC was turned off while executing a program or in a temporary
stop.
The CNC remembers the program block at the time of the interruption that did not allow executing
it completely.
The home search permits restoring the history of a program up to a particular block in such way
that when resumed, it executes the rest of the program with the same conditions as it would if it were
executed from the beginning.
Example: A part machining process is interrupted at any time. The block search may be used for
positioning the tool in the same place it was just when the program was interrupted and in the same
conditions.
Block search is executed from the execution mode using a menu driven operational process. The
program execution will resume once the block search is done.
To access the block search, press the softkey <BLOCK SELECTION> of the softkey menu of the
execution window.

Searching blocks containing G functions. EXEC G search
When restoring the history of the program, the CNC reads it up to the set block activating and
canceling the "G" functions that reads along. Likewise, it sets the feedrate and spindle speed
conditions of the program and calculates the position where the axes should be.
The M, T and S functions are not output to the PLC, but they are memorized so when the last block
is reached, the CNC shows a list of the conditions that the CNC must have assumed by the history.
Once the simulation is over, the user can restore the M, S, T functions:
A. In the order in which the M, S, T functions were simulated by pressing <EXECUTE MST> and
then [CYCLE START].
B. Pressing the softkeys <TOOL INSPECTION>, <DISPLAY MST> and <MDI> in this order, the
user can execute the desired blocks in any order he wishes.
The screen shows a list of the M, S and T functions (one per line and in simulation order) bearing
the following in mind:
• It shows the M functions of the history bearing in mind that some M functions may cancel others.
• If there is a second spindle and M functions a programmed that refer to that spindle (M3, M4,
M5, M19, M41-44), they will not cancel the ones equivalent to the first spindle. Also, when
restoring these M functions, it first restores those of each programmed spindle G28 or G29.
• When it receives an OEM's M function and then it receives the same M function, the older one
disappears from the list.
• It displays the last T function programmed as well as the last S function programmed.

4.1.2 Automatic block search
It may be used to restore the program history up to the block where the execution was interrupted.
The CNC remembers in which block the execution was interrupted, thus not being necessary to set
the stop block.
If the program is interrupted inside an internal cycle, it will behave as follows:
If it is a pocket cycle (G66, G67, G68, G87, G88) or a multiple cycle (G60, G61, G62, G63, G64),
when doing a home search, it restores the history up to the last subblock inside the completed
cycle.
In the rest of the canned cycles (G69, G81, G82, G84, G85, G86), it is interrupted inside the
cycle, it restores the history up to the cycle calling block.
To access the automatic block search, press <BLOCK SELECTION> and press one of the operating
modes <EXEC G SEARCH> or <EXEC GMST SEARCH>.
Then, press the <STOP BLOCK> and <AUTOMATIC SEARCH> softkeys.
The <AUTOMATIC SEARCH> softkey is only shown when the block that has been stored for the
automatic search is located among those of the program and once pressed places the cursor in that
block.
Once the block has been selected, the screen shows the text STOP=HD:PxxxLxxx that indicates
the location of the program, the program number and the program line. After pressing [CYCLE

• If there is a pending spindle movement (M3, M4, M5, M19), it shows a spindle softkey showing
this previous status and the pending function.
After pressing the displayed softkey and then [CYCLE START], the CNC generates a block that
resumes the spindle movement before the inspection.
If the spindle position changes while being in M19, it considers that there has been a change
and it shows the softkey.
• When selecting an axis with the relevant softkey and pressing [CYCLE START], the CNC
generates a motion block up to the repositioning coordinate for that axis.
Several axes may be moved at the same time, but it is not possible to select the movement of
the axes and of the spindle at the same time.
• The repositioning movement of one or several axes may be interrupted and it is possible to
inspect and reposition as often as desired.
• Using the manual repositioning mode, the CNC lets move the axes with the electronic
handwheels or with JOG keypad both continuously and in incrementally. The movement of the
axes is restricted by the repositioning end point and the corresponding software travel limit.
The handwheel movements will not be restricted by the repositioning points.
• When an axis reaches the last repositioning point, it is no longer available and cannot be jogged.
To move that axis, switch to tool inspection mode.
• The [END REPOSITIONING] softkey may be used to exit the repositioning mode and press
[CYCLE START] to resume program execution.
If after quitting the repositioning mode, the axes are not properly repositioned, the CNC will move
the axes from where they are to the repositioning point.
• The [TOOL INSPECTION] softkey may be used to return to the tool inspection mode where the
axes may be jogged continuously, incrementally or with an electronic handwheel. In this case,
the movements are only limited by the software travel limits.
Besides, it is possible to switch to MDI mode to execute simple blocks.

LINE GRAPHICS XZ, XC, ZC
This type of graphics draws with colored lines the movement of the tool on the selected planes (XZ,
XC, ZC).
The graphic generated after the execution or simulation of a program will be lost in the following
cases:
• When deleting the screen ("CLEAR SCREEN" softkey)
• When deactivating the graphics ("DEACTIVATE GRAPHICS" softkey).
• When selecting another type of solid graphics (solid XZ, solid XC, solid ZC).
SOLID GRAPHICS
The types of solid graphics available are (solid XZ, solid XC, solid ZC).
This type of graphics shows the part secured at the spindle and the tool in use. Depending on
whether the program is being executed or simulated, the programmed tool movement will be shown
as well as the shape of the part after that operation.
If during the execution or simulation of a program, no tool is selected, the CNC will NOT show the
tool and the shape of the part will be shown intact.
In XZ SOLID, when an "S" spindle speed is assigned, the resulting part will be shown machined

5.1.2 TEACH-IN editing
It is basically the same as the previous option (editing in CNC language), except when it comes to
programming coordinates.
This option shows the current position values of each one of the axes of the machine.
It permits to enter the axes position values from the CNC keyboard (as when editing in CNC
language) or, also, use the TEACH-IN editing format as described next.
1. Jog the machine axes with the jogging keys or with the electronic handwheel up to the desired
position.
2. Press the softkey corresponding to the axis to be defined.
Edit
EDIT
3. The CNC will assign to this axis its current physical position as the program position value.
Both editing coordinate defining methods may be used indistinctly, even while defining a block.
When the block being edited has no information (editing area empty), the [ENTER] key can be
pressed. In this case, the CNC will generate a new block with the current position values of all the
axes of the machine.
This block will be added automatically to the program and it will be inserted after the block indicated
by the cursor.
The cursor will position over the new edited block and the editing area (window) will be cleared so
another block can be written.
When the position values of all the axes are not to be programmed in this fashion, the CNC permits
to select the desired axes. To do this, in this operating mode and within the "EDITOR PARAMETERS"
option there is a softkey for "TEACH-IN AXES"
Execution of the edited block
When editing a program in TEACH-IN mode, It will be possible to execute the block just edited.
Once the desired block has been edited, press [START] to execute that block. Once the block has
been executed, press [ENTER] to enter it in the program or [ESC] not to.
An example of application may be to create a roughing program to machine a large part while

5.1.3 Interactive editor
This editor leads the operator through the program editing process by means of questions he/she
will answer.
This kind of editing offers the following advantages:
• There is no need to know the CNC programming language.
• The CNC only lets entering the data being requested, thus avoiding any data entry errors.
• The programmer is assisted at all times with help screens or messages.
When selecting this option, the CNC displays in the main window, a series of graphic options
selectable by softkey.
If the selected option has more menus, the CNC will keep showing new graphic options until the
desired one is selected.
From this moment, the information corresponding to this option will appear in the main window and
it will start requesting the data necessary to program it.
As the requested data is entered, the editing window will show, in CNC language, the block being
edited.
The CNC will generate all necessary blocks and it will add them to the program once the editing
of this option is done and it will insert them after the one indicated by the cursor.
The main window will show again the graphic options corresponding to the main menu being
possible to continue editing the program.

Operation with the profile editor
Several profiles may be edited without quitting the editor. To edit a profile, proceed as follows:
1. Select a point of the profile as its beginning point.
2. Break the profile into straight and curve sections. If it has corner rounding, chamfering or
tangential entries or exits, use one of these methods:
Treat them as individual sections when having enough information to define them.
Ignore them while defining the profile and, once the full definition is done, select the corners
that have those characteristics and enter the corresponding radius value.

coordinates, the Polar origin will be the same for both points.
• The starting point of the circle can only be edited in absolute coordinates, whereas the center
may be edited in absolute as well as in incremental coordinates.
If the starting point is not defined, the CNC assumes one.
The "Profile Direction" softkey indicates whether the profile is programmed clockwise or
counterclockwise. This data is very important for later modifications and profile intersection. Every
time this softkey is pressed, the text at the top of the middle right window changes.
Editing a rectangular profile
A rectangular profile may be quickly defined using this option. The softkey menu may be used to
define the data in either Cartesian or Polar coordinates. The type of coordinates at the beginning
of the editing operation will be in Cartesian and absolute.
• The starting point of the rectangle can be edited in Cartesian as well as Polar coordinates, but
always in absolute coordinates.
The "Profile Direction" softkey indicates whether the profile is programmed clockwise or

Clockwise Counterclockwise
A straight angular profile is defined with a single command, but the CNC internally breaks into 4
straight segments.
Editing any profile
A profile with straight and arc sections may be defined with this option. For any element of the profile,
the softkey menu may be used to define the data in either Cartesian or Polar coordinates and either
in absolute or incremental coordinates.
When pressing the "PROFILE" softkey, the CNC requests the starting point of the profile. To define
it, use the corresponding softkeys. The starting point of a profile can be edited in Cartesian as well
as Polar coordinates, but always in absolute coordinates. The type of coordinates at the beginning
of the editing operation will be in Cartesian and absolute.
For example, if when working in the ZX plane the new desired starting point is (Z50, X20):
[X] 20 [ENTER]
[Z] 50 [ENTER]
Once the starting point has been set, press the "VALIDATE" softkey. The graphic area will show a
