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 undertakes 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 catalogue.
It is entirely up to FAGOR to determine whether the repair is or not under warranty.
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 authorised 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.

Installation manual
WARRANTY ON REPAIRS
In a similar way to the initial warranty, FAGOR offers a warranty on standard repairs according to the
following conditions:
PERIOD12 months.
CONCEPTCovers parts and labor for repairs (or replacements) at the
network's own facilities.
EXCLUDING CLAUSESThe same as those applied regarding the chapter on initial
warranty. If the repair is carried out within the warranty period, the
warranty extension has no effect.
When the customer does not choose the standard repair and just the faulty material has been replaced,
the warranty will cover just the replaced parts or components within 12 months.
For sold parts the warranty is 12 moths length.

CNC MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The accumulated dirt inside the unit may act as a screen preventing the proper dissipation of the heat
generated by the internal circuitry which could result in a harmful overheating of the unit and, consequently,
possible malfunctions. Accumulated dirt can sometimes act as an electrical conductor and short-circuit the
internal circuitry, especially under high humidity conditions.
To clean the operator panel and the monitor, a smooth cloth should be used which has been dipped into
de-ionized water and /or non abrasive dish-washer soap (liquid, never powder) or 75º alcohol. Do not use
highly compressed air to clean the unit because it could generate electrostatic discharges.
The plastics used on the front panel are resistant to grease and mineral oils, bases and bleach, dissolved
detergents and alcohol. Avoid the action of solvents such as chlorine hydrocarbons, venzole, esters and
ether which can damage the plastics used to make the unit’s front panel.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE CLEANING THE UNIT
Fagor Automation shall not be held responsible for any material or physical damage derived from the
violation of these basic safety requirements.
• Do not handle the connectors with the unit connected to AC power. Before handling these connectors
(I/O, feedback, etc.), make sure that the unit is not connected to main AC power.
• Do not get into the inside of the unit. Only personnel authorized by Fagor Automation may manipulate
the inside of this unit.
• If the CNC does not turn on when actuating the start-up switch, verify the connections.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION.
1.1Software installation at the CNC.
Fagor delivers the CNC with the software properly installed in a compact flash type disk. Both
at a CNC and at a PC (simulator), the necessary files for the CNC are located in the folder
C:\CNC8070 and its relevant subfolders. See "1.6 Software configuration." on page 34.
The CNC software must not be re-installed or modified in any way without the express consent from
Fagor Automation. Fagor Automation shall not be held responsible for any personal injuries, physical
or material damage suffered or caused by the CNC due to software manipulation.
Software protection at the CNC. System with a write-protected (read-only) disk.
Fagor delivers the unit with the disk that is write-protected except for the folders or files that
must be unprotected for the normal operation of the CNC. The disk has been pre-configured
with three access modes, each offers a different protection level. See "1.1.1 Work modes
and software protection at the CNC." on page 26.

Software setting.
It is up to manufacturer to set up the CNC and adapt it to his machine. The manufacturer
can also customize the CNC's look using the screen customizing program FGUIM. Before
using this tool, read the relevant documentation carefully.
CNC setting; the MTB folder.
Both at a CNC and at a PC (simulator), the OEM has the folder ..\MTB to save the
modifications done at the CNC; such as the PLC program, the machine parameters, etc. The
CNC manages the MTB folders as follows.
• No MTB folder appears when installing the software for the first time. On system startup
and depending on the validation code, the system will move the corresponding folder from
..\CONFIGURATION to the CNC8070 and will rename it MTB.
• When changing the validation code, the system will return the MTB folder to the
..\CONFIGURATION folder and will give it its old name (MTB_M, MTB_T, etc); then, it
will move the corresponding folder from ..\CONFIGURATION to CNC8070 and will
rename it MTB.
• If the OEM has created the MTB folder manually, for example by copying it from a backup,
the system will not make any changes on power-up nor when modifying the validation
code.
Changing the language of the help files.
Fagor supplies the CNC with the help files installed in English. The CD that comes with the
product contains the help files in different languages. You can change the help files installed
by default with the ones provided on the CD.
CNC 8065
Locate the folder Help files inside the CD, select one of the available languages and copy
all the files to its CNC location. The help files installed at the CNC (or at the PC, if it is a
simulator) are located in the following folder.
C:\Cnc8070\Fagor\MMC\Help
The help files can only be in one language at a time at the CNC. The language of the help
files may be different from the one chosen for the interface.

Installing the licenses.
Local license or network license.
During the installation, you will have to choose the type of license; local license (LOCAL) or
network license (NET). The type of license indicates where the dongle (hardware key) is
connected. For the dongle (hardware key) of he parallel port, always choose the local license.
• Choose the local license if the dongle (hardware key) will be connected to the PC where
the CNC software has been installed.
• Choose the net license if the dongle (hardware key) will be connected to a server. When
the CNC simulator needs to be authenticated, it will automatically look for the server
throughout the net. The CNC software needs not be installed at the server; however, the
software that enables the dongle (hardware key) must be installed at the server. This
software is included on the CD.
About the dongle (hardware key).
Fagor supplies two types of dongle (hardware key) to be connected either to the parallel port
or to the USB port. Once the software has been installed, in order to use the CNC, the dongle
(hardware key) supplied with the CD must be connected to the PC. If the net license was
chosen when installing the software, the dongle (hardware key) may be connected to a
server.
CNC setting; the MTB folder.
Both at a CNC and at a PC (simulator), the OEM has the folder ..\MTB to save the
modifications done at the CNC; such as the PLC program, the machine parameters, etc. The
CNC manages the MTB folders as follows.
• No MTB folder appears when installing the software for the first time. On system startup
and depending on the validation code, the system will move the corresponding folder from
..\CONFIGURATION to the CNC8070 and will rename it MTB.
• When changing the validation code, the system will return the MTB folder to the
..\CONFIGURATION folder and will give it its old name (MTB_M, MTB_T, etc); then, it
will move the corresponding folder from ..\CONFIGURATION to CNC8070 and will
rename it MTB.

Installation manual
• If the OEM has created the MTB folder manually, for example by copying it from a backup,
the system will not make any changes on power-up nor when modifying the validation
code.
Changing the language of the help files.
The help files are installed in English. The CD that comes with the product contains the help
files in different languages. You can change the help files installed by default with the ones
provided on the CD.
Locate the folder Help files inside the CD, select one of the available languages and copy
all the files to its CNC location. The help files installed at the CNC (or at the PC, if it is a
simulator) are located in the following folder.
C:\Cnc8070\Fagor\MMC\Help
The help files can only be in one language at a time at the CNC. The language of the help
files may be different from the one chosen for the interface.

1.3Updating the software version.
The updates must be carried out using the software supplied by Fagor Automation. Updating
the software maintains the set up of the machine parameters, PLC program, tool table and
tool magazine data. Before updating the software, check the list of possible incompatibilities
between versions.
Before updating the sofware.
Installation manual
1.
It is recommended to always have a backup copy of the full configuration (ASCII files) such
as machine parameter tables, tool tables, active-tools table and tool magazine tables as well
as the PLC program. Should any anomaly occur during the installation, these file will help
restore the CNC configuration.
Software update.
To update the software, close all the programs that may be running, including the CNC. The
software must be installed in setup mode.
The installation will start automatically when inserting the CD in the CD drive; if not, double-
Updating the software version.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION.
click on the setup70_Vxx_xx.exe file, where Vxx_xx indicates the version to be installed.
Then, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
When starting the process, the CNC offers the possibility of installing from scratch; in this
case, the installation process will not keep the CNC configuration like the machine
parameters, PLC program, etc.
Updating remote nodes of the CAN bus.
Every time the CNC is powered up, it verifies the versions of the remote nodes detected in
the CAN bus and automatically updates all these devices if necessary. When done loading,
it goes on with the usual start-up process.
If the loading is not successful, and, consequently, the software coherence between all the
elements of the CAN bus cannot be guaranteed, the CNC will display the corresponding error
message every time [RESET] is pressed.
