Types of Words N - sequence number prefix G - preparatory words Example: G00 = PTP rapid traverse move X, Y, Z - prefixes for x, y, and z-axes F - feed rate prefix S - spindle speed T - tool selection M - miscellaneous command Example: M07 = turn cutting fluid on Example: Word Address Format N001 G00 X07000 Y03000 M03 N002 Y06000 Cutter Offset Cutter path must be offset from actual part outline by a distance equal to the cutter radius Issues in Manual Part Programming Adequate for simple jobs, e.g., PTP drilling Linear interpolation G01 G94 X050.0 Y086.5 Z100.0 F40 S800 Circular interpolation G02 G17 X088.0 Y040.0 R028.0 F30 Cutter offset G42 G01 X100.0 Y040.0 D05 Example Manual Data Input Machine operator does part programming at machine Operator enters program by responding to prompts and questions by system Monitor with graphics verifies tool path Usually for relatively simple parts Ideal for small shop that cannot afford a part programming staff To minimize changeover time, system should allow programming of next job while current job is running Computer-Assisted Part Programming Write machine instructions using natural language type statements Statements translated into machine code of the MCU APT (Automatically Programmed Tool) Language Sample Statements Part is composed of basic geometric elements and mathematically defined surfaces Examples of statements: P4 = POINT/35,90,0 L1 = LINE/P1,P2 C1 = CIRCLE/CENTER,P8,RADIUS,30 Tool path is sequence of points or connected line and arc segments Point-to-Point command: GOTO/P4 Continuous path command: GOLFT/L1,TANTO,C1 NC Part Programming Using CAD/CAM YouTube CNC Milling CNC Punching CNC Adhesive Bonding CNC Drug Insertion CNC Bioprocessing CAD/CAM Etc.
