CNC C80 Series

Revolutionary, next-generation CNC opens a new era of production lines through compatibility with MELSEC iQ-R Series C80 Series

Concept

Five features ( productivity, expandability, usability, maintenance and safety ) empower manufacturing lines with infinite possibilities and innovative values in terms of advancement, reliability and growth.
Productivity C80 improves productivity through its advanced performance and functionality. Expandability C80 allows flexible system configuration to catch up with the MELSEC evolution. Usability C80 provides unprecedented user-friendliness. Maintenance Low maintenance reduces downtime and maintenance costs. Safety Easily implement a plethora of safety measures compliant with global standards.
Infinite Possibilities

Productivity

Mitsubishi Electric's original CNC-dedicated CPU provides a major leap in basic performance. A newly developed high-speed system bus approximately 40 times faster than our conventional product provides high-speed, large-capacity data communication. CNC control functions and drive units have been mproved, enabling high-speed, highly accurate machining. The C80 Series contributes to reducing cycle time and increasing productivity.

PLC processing capability (PCMIX value)

High processing capability of the PLC enables large-scale ladder logic to be processed at high speed in response to the demands in the era of IoT.

CNC-to-drive communication capability

Optical communication speed between CNC and drive has been increased. This improves system responsiveness, leading to more accurate machining.

MSTB processing capability

Miscellaneous command processing between CNC and PLC became 1.5 times faster than our conventional product. Shorter processing time leads to reduction in cycle time.

Expandability

The e-F@ctory integrated solution supports the future of machining in all areas, from development and manufacturing to maintenance, by utilizing advanced expertise and factory optimization to realize "total cost reduction."
The CNC C80 Series supports the iQ Platform, the integrated FA platform that forms the core of e-F@ctory.

Flexible system configurations

The PLC CPU is independent in the C80 Series, enabling selection according to production scale and application, and best-fit configuration of hardware.

Usability

CNC monitor2 newly developed to simplify use through the introduction of touch-screen operation displays the equivalent screen to the M800/M80 Series standard screens available in 8.4, 10.4 and 12.1-type models.

VGA added to product line

VGA added to product line

CNC monitor2 supports VGA in addition to the conventional SVGA resolut ion, which expands the availability of GOT2000 Series.

Maintenance

The C80 Series has greatly improved maintenance features compared to our conventional product, including the ability to acquire three times the alarm and warning history data. The program number and PLC number of the machining program executed can also be acquired, leading to early problem solving and less downtime.
