    What robot model? What software?

    What are you milling?

    Most likely you want to purchase the HandlingTool manual. If you're milling simple shapes you can program them directly in the teach pendant. If you are doing crazy 3d sculptures then you probably want to purchase cam software.

    This is a very broad question. Taking it all in might work out better with more specific questions. Your Kuka expertise will help you once you learn the similarities.

    Following HawkME's suggestion, >HERE< is a manual at a very reasonable cost on eBay. It would be a tremendous help.

    You can search the internet for "fanuc educational cell exercises pdf" and "fanuc educational cell pdf" and you will find two documents that can already help a bit. Depending in your other skills.

    Hello JA,

    You can ask Fanuc for Roboguide software, it will help you to understand fanuc robots and for programming also.

    OK i found a lot of manuals on scribd.

    Also i have roboguide.

    One question fanuc R-30iA can interpret 5 axis milling G code except from karel ?

    If no is there a plugin that can read G code ?

    M-900iA/L260 how it compares with a kuka kr240 in mechanical characteristics ?

    Which has better mechanics ?

    I received the robot with control R-30iA but the power mains plug cable is cut.

    The plug that was on robot has 6 terminals+ground and the old cable (4 wires+ground wire) was connected to 1/2/3/4 terminals (5/6 was unconnected).

    The 3 phases are 1/2/3 and neutral is 4 ?

    There is a software option that converts NC codes to Teach Pendant Program (TPP). Not sure of the details.

    R-30iA 3-pos Mode Switch with wiring is Fanuc # A05B-2500-C071, without wiring is A55L-0001-0253#B.
