FANUC Series 0i-MODEL C / 0i Mate-MODEL C Descriptions Manual B-64112EN/01

This FANUC Series 0i-MODEL C / 0i Mate-MODEL C Descriptions Manual B-64112EN/01 is a detailed English-language reference for the FANUC Series 0i-MODEL C and Series 0i Mate-MODEL C CNC families. It describes the functions and specifications available across the T series and M series models, including the FANUC Series 0i-TC, 0i-MC, 0i-PC, 0i Mate-TC, and 0i Mate-MC. The document is organized as a descriptions manual rather than an operator’s manual, programming manual, or maintenance manual, so it is best used to understand what the CNC supports, how the functions are structured, and which specifications apply before consulting the model-specific operator, programming, connection, parameter, or maintenance documentation.

As a whole, this document gives technicians, programmers, integrators, and maintenance personnel a structured view of the FANUC Series 0i-MODEL C and 0i Mate-MODEL C function set. It is useful for matching a machine’s capabilities to its CNC model, understanding available G-code and compensation features, preparing for parameter or programming work, and identifying which detailed manual should be consulted for a specific procedure. Because it is a descriptions manual, it explains functions and specifications at a system level rather than serving as a step-by-step repair guide or a replacement for the operator and maintenance manuals.

Practical Use for CNC Programmers, Integrators, and Maintenance Teams

The FANUC Series 0i-MODEL C / 0i Mate-MODEL C Descriptions Manual B-64112EN/01 is particularly helpful when you need to confirm whether a function is supported on a particular model before writing a program or configuring a machine. It brings together T series and M series preparatory functions, interpolation options, feed behavior, coordinate system handling, spindle functions, tool compensation, custom macro, high-speed cutting functions, data input/output, safety functions, and punch press-specific functions in one reference. For shops running mixed FANUC 0i Model C and 0i Mate Model C equipment, the manual helps distinguish model-specific capabilities and avoid assumptions carried over from another CNC family.

• Check model-specific controlled axes, axis names, increment systems, and maximum stroke
• Review G-code groups and preparatory functions for T series and M series
• Understand interpolation, threading, feed override, acceleration/deceleration, and exact stop behavior
• Reference coordinate system, workpiece offset, local coordinate, and plane selection details
• Study spindle speed control, tool compensation, custom macro, and measurement functions
• Review display, data input/output, diagnosis, safety, and status output functions
• Identify punch press functions and Power Mate CNC interface topics where applicable
