Understanding Fanuc CNC Control Naming: Milling, Turning, and Grinding Models
Each generation of FANUC computerized numerical control system has different levels of capabilities, and these are generally referred to by a model or series number.

How Fanuc CNC Controls Milling Turning Grinding are Named
Each Fanuc cnc controls model is typically available with several device control capabilities, depending on what software functions are licensed for use on that device. Some common fanuc cnc control capabilities are:
M – Milling
T – Turning (lathe)
TT – Twin Turret
P – Punch press
G – Grinding
Within each model name, there can also be generational updates for each model, usually indicated by a trailing letter.
