Fanuc Battery Replacement on a CNC Mill or Lathe
Fanuc Battery Replacement. Don’t let your Fanuc turn into a paperweight over a dead battery. Replace batteries regularly to prevent losing parameter settings. This can prevent your mill or lathe from becoming an expensive paperweight. Replacement should be done anytime you get a BAT notice or at least every year or two. #cncmill #machinist #homeshop #fanuc

Moving the CNC Mill around in the shop for installation.
Moving a VMC Vertical CNC Mill with steel bars. The VMC is a Excel PMC series mill with Fanuc 0M controls. This replaces my old smaller VMC (HAAS Mini Mill) with a new to me larger model.
