What is the purpose of FANUC's "Parametric Programming"?

The purpose of FANUC's "Parametric Programming" is to create flexible programs that can adjust based on variable inputs. This programming technique allows engineers and operators to write programs that adapt to changing parameters during operation, such as dimensions, materials, or other conditions that can vary from one part to another.

By using parameters, a single program can produce multiple parts with different specifications without the need to rewrite the entire code for each variation. This adaptability enhances efficiency and reduces the time and potential errors associated with programming each new part or changing specifications.

This flexibility is particularly valuable in environments where customization is common, as it enables manufacturers to respond quickly to different production requirements while maintaining precision and quality in their machining processes. Parametric programming is thus a powerful tool for optimizing production workflows and improving overall operational versatility.
