On the 0i-TF, tools are selected using the T address.
T0101
T0100 (Keeps Tool 1 in position but cancels the offset).The manual acts as a bridge between programming and machine configuration. It references System Parameters that dictate how G-codes behave (e.g., changing G00 rapid traverse speed or disabling certain safety interlocks). It stresses the importance of safety interlocks, such as:
The FANUC Series Oi-TF Plus Programming Manual is a dense but essential technical document. Its strength lies in the combination of traditional G-code (ISO) with high-level Macro B and conversational programming. For an engineer or machinist, mastering this manual means unlocking the full potential of modern CNC lathes—from simple 2-axis turning to complex multi-cycle operations with live tooling and macro automation.
Key takeaway: Do not read linearly. Use the manual as a reference. The fastest path to proficiency is to write short test programs for each cycle type (roughing, threading, macro) and simulate or run them in single-block mode.
This report is based on public documentation and standard practices for FANUC Oi-TF Plus. For exact syntax, always refer to the official B-64694EN manual and your machine builder’s supplement. fanuc series oitf plus programming manual
For the FANUC Series 0i-F Plus, the "Programming Manual" content is typically integrated into the Operator's Manual
, which is split by machine type. Depending on whether you are working with a lathe or a machining center, you will need one of the following primary manuals: Primary Manuals for Series 0i-F Plus
Lathe System (T series): Referred to as 0i-TF Plus. Use the Operator's Manual (B-64694EN-1) for specific turning programming and operations.
Machining Center System (M series): Referred to as 0i-MF Plus. Use the Operator's Manual (B-64694EN-2) for milling and multi-axis programming.
General Operator's Manual: For features common to both lathe and machining center systems, refer to B-64694EN. Key Programming Content Included | Feature | Oi-TD | Oi-TF Plus |
These manuals cover the standard ISO G-code and M-code programming required to operate the control:
Preparatory Functions (G-codes): Includes interpolation (G01, G02, G03), coordinate system setting, and polar coordinate commands (G15, G16).
Feed Functions: Details for constant surface speed control and various feed rate overrides.
Programming Simplification: Instructions for canned cycles, subprograms, and macro variables stored in non-volatile memory.
MANUAL GUIDE i: The "Plus" series often utilizes MANUAL GUIDE i, which allows for conversational, graphical programming without needing deep G-code knowledge. Advanced Programming Supplements Example: T0101
If you are performing specialized development beyond standard G-code, these dedicated manuals are necessary: CNC Series 0i-F Plus
This is the workhorse of any turning program. The manual provides a deep dive into the Type I and Type II pattern repeats.
Format: G00 X(U)__ Z(W)__;
Note: Rapid traverse rate is set by machine tool builder (parameter 1420). Non-interpolated motion – each axis moves independently at max speed.
From the manual’s warnings and experienced users’ notes:
The "Programming Manual" shines in its explanation of canned cycles. On a Fanuc lathe, these cycles save massive amounts of code. The Oi-TF Plus manual breaks these down into digestible flowcharts.
