Fanuc Custom Macro B

IMR LOGO 285

Organisation profile

IMR is Ireland's leading independent research and technology organization, RTO. All Irish Manufacturing Research’s projects focus on translational innovation projects, in collaboration with industry, to demystify, de-risk and deliver emerging concepts, processes and technologies.

Training aim

The course is designed for operators in engineering already experienced using the machine at an advanced level and want to leverage CNC machines full capabilities through Macro programming. CNC Programming with the use of Fanuc Custom Macro B, enables you to design and implement powerful, advanced CNC macro programming techniques that result in unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, and enhanced productivity (ideal for a family of parts). The course begins with step-by-step instructions and then gradually proceeds in complexity. The course is suitable for customers with Fanuc controlled machines or with a similar configuration.

Learning objectives

At the end of the course the participants will have acquired basic knowledge for CNC programming and operation of CNC Precision machines through Macro programming.  By the end of the course, you will be able to develop highly efficient programs that exploit the full potential of CNC machines.

Trainer's profile

Mr. Jeff Hart is Manager of Mills Training Academy for 16 years, 

Started career as an apprentice Toolmaker in 1972 ~ 1976, and with quite high qualifications achieved was asked at the age of 21 to start part time teaching in a college YOPS (Youth Opportunity Scheme) for 5 years while simultaneously working in a Company as a Toolmaker with Plastic Injection Moulds. 

While at the Company, took the opportunity to learn Programming in Heidenhain and Fanuc. Several years later in 1985 the chance to join Fanuc came up and was employed as the Training Manager. Travelled all over Europe training Machine Tool Builders, Agents and Fanuc Employees in Programming, Service Issues and New products from Fanuc. 

After 10 years Mills CNC joined them as their Training Manager and create a training centre in the Midlands which was ultimate ambition. 

Since Mills started the Training Academy we have had over 8,000 students come through the system, not just from the UK but many from Ireland, Egypt, India & Poland etc. 

Qualifications include: 

City & Guilds in Production Engineering Full Cert. 

D32 & D34 level qualified for NVQ’s (Non Vocational Qualifications) 

Fanuc Controlled Lathes up to 9 Axes 

Fanuc Controlled Machining Centres up to 5 Axes 

Heidenhain 5 Axes Machining Centres.    

Siemens ShopMill & Shopturn  

FeatureCam, Cimco & FAPT Software trained. 

Mr. Chris Judge is the Machining Applications Specialist for subtractive manufacturing at Irish Manufacturing research. His expertise lies in his experience growing an advanced technology and modern precision engineering company in a fast-paced environment. Chris has extensive experience within the precision engineering sector working with technologies from CNC machining, abrasive waterjet cutting to EDM. Researched and implemented new and emerging technologies to ensure Prodieco always stayed competitive in their market sector. Chris is currently leading other research programs and involved in EU funded research programs within the Irish precision engineering space.
