Explain M Codes and G Codes Star SB 20-R, the Star SB20-R has a Fanuc Oi TF control. It is configured especially for the Star machine.

Being a sliding head machine you get loads and loads of G codes and M codes even codes like M8 and M9 coolant on and off are different on this machine.

As I always teach people it is a good idea to put explanations on all your M codes so that you can easily see what they mean when going through programs.

To the rescue comes this screen

Memory Card on a Fanuc control, today I’m being totally selfish so please don’t read this article, it’s just for me.

I had this idea a while back. Every time I find something on a machine that I might forget, I would write a post about it.

Easy, when I google something it’s me.

In fact I get really pissed off now if I google something to do with CNC machines  and I don’t find my own article.

These are things I don’t want to forget but usually do.

Now I don’t mean stuff like shitting at the back of someone’s filing cabinet or nicking the soap out of the toilets.

No no no I mean stuff like Fanuc Parameters that I might forget or little tricks n tips on some obscure control.

I  mean sometimes I just want to forget everything but we wont talk about that in case you do want to use me for training.

I know I’m old and decrepit but in fact I’ve always had a bad memory.

I’ve always lost things. My mate used to say to me “you’d lose your bollocks if they weren’t in a sack”

He was a Brummie and he had a way with words (bless you Roy if you’re out there).

Where the fuck did this idea come from that Brummies are thick? My mate Eddie had this incredibly sharpe witt. Oh and he could fix anything, many a time I called him out to fix my old mini van.

It broke down everyday so I relied on him quite a lot.

I mean posh people break down in their cars and don’t have a fuckin clue what to do. I mean if you were on a dessert island who would you want with you Jacob Rees-Mog and Boris Johnson or my two mates Eddie and Roy.

I mean Eddie would build you a raft in 20 minutes and Roy could build a mud hut quicker than DIY SOS. Oh and he could fish too so you’d have a hot meal.

Boris would be reciting Shakespeare and Jacob would be reading from the bible and asking for his butler.

As much as I like Shakespeare (I have all their records)

Stuck on a dessert island, first thing I’d want is a hot meal and then I’d want to fuck off on a raft back to Barwell..

In the fast-paced world of modern manufacturing, staying ahead means equipping your team with the right skills to operate advanced machinery seamlessly.

At CNC Training Centre, we’re proud to offer specialised onsite training on machines with Fagor controls, bringing expert instruction directly to your facility.

Why Choose Onsite Training for Fagor Controls?

  • Customised Curriculum: We design each course around your specific equipment and operational needs. From basic interface navigation to advanced programming techniques, our instructors cover everything from G-code essentials to optimising Fagor’s conversational programming features for faster setup times.

  • Hands-On Experience: Theory is important, but practice makes perfect. Trainees work directly on your Fagor-controlled machines, applying new skills in real-time under the guidance of experts with years of industry experience.
  • Proven Results: Participants leave with enhanced confidence, reduced error rates, and the ability to troubleshoot common issues like axis calibration or tool path optimisation. Many of our clients report immediate improvements in productivity and part quality.

Fagor controls are renowned for their user-friendly design, precision, and versatility across industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing. However, unlocking their full potential requires targeted training. Our programs address key areas such as:

  • Interface Mastery: Understanding the touchscreen layout, menu navigation, and simulation modes.
  • Programming Proficiency: Writing and editing programs using Fagor’s ISO and parametric languages.
  • Safety Protocols: Integrating best practices to ensure compliance with industry standards.
