FANUC PC Fapt

CAD/CAM for CNC lathes

The versatility of FAPT now

available on your office PC.

The CAPT software is designed

by FANUC, the world's largest
lathe control manufacturer. Who
else is better qualified to
develop such a leading product?

Supports multiple tool files - quickly

create your own tool library for a
particular machine or material.
Automatic Toolpath creation mode greatly
Reduces the time spent in defining a components machining operations
Full solid model animation of toolpath - lets you see exactly how the part will cut
DXF in so you can import customers drawings avoiding have to draw the component
from scratch. DXF out so you can export your componet to your CAD system to
produce working drawings from your part.
During roughing operations CAPT shows exactly what metal the current tool can
remove safely whilst avoiding any gouging of components.
The user can print out a operation list which contains the tool information and
estimated machining time.

Optional C/Y axis for driven tooling

Associated toolpaths - If you change the component shape the toolpath will be
automatically updated.
If you prefer you can draw using the program's own CAD functions.

Solid Model Simulation
Machining simulation using solid models to give a re-
alistic impression of the machining process. Graphic
display of tool tip and tool holder with checks for
interference between tool and chuck.
Automatic Toolpath Creation
The user can either let the system determine its own
optimal toolpath creation automatically or specify each
cutting operation individually. Feeds and speeds are
calculated automatically based on cutting conditions and
surface finish requirements.
Symbolic Keys
Component profiles can be created using the well proven
FAPT method. If you don’t know a tangency point on the
profile leave it blank and CAPT will calculate it
automatically. Special buttons are available for operations
such as grooving, necking and threading.
PC Fapt also has its own built in CAD functions and can
read and write DXF file formats.
Tool Libraries
Tools can be quickly and easy defined and stored in a
library. When a machining process is defined a suitable
tool is automatically selected from the tool library,
however the user can still browse the library to change to
a different tool if required.
Cutting Condition Files
Material files contain predefined information for depth of
cut, cutting speed, finishing allowances etc for a type of
operation and type of tool. When an operation is selected
the tool and cutting conditions are automatically selected.
C/Y Axis Module Option
Driven tooling is fully supported by the C/Y axis module.
Features such as keyways, hexagons, flats, face or side
drilling can be easily programmed.
