How many program timers are available in FANUC systems?

FANUC systems provide 20 program timers for use in CNC programming. These timers are essential for managing time-based operations within a program, allowing for tasks such as delays or the measurement of operational time intervals during machining processes. Each timer can be set and monitored to facilitate the automation of complex operations.

Having 20 timers offers a versatile range for programming, enabling operators to implement real-time control and optimization strategies for their machining tasks without the need to manage excessive numbers of timers. This limitation helps to maintain clarity and efficiency in programming, ensuring that users can effectively utilize the resources available to them.
