Unit 7 Computer-aided Part Programming ;7.1 Lesson 13 Development of Computer -aided CNC Programming ; The digital computer, however, has changed the way programs are written, checked, and run. Some of the most dramatic improvements provided by the computer include off-line programming, the use of computer-aided programming languages, and the application of CAD/CAM to programming.; CNC machines operate at optimum when running part programs and machining parts.[3] This goal is achieved when new programs are written and tested at an off-line computer terminal. The program can be composed directly in word address (G and M codes) with the aid of text editing software. It can be tested and then stored on punched tape, diskette, zip diskette or CD-ROM media. If the remote computer has a communication line to the CNC machine, the program can be downloaded directly to the machine’s controller. This technique is known as off-line programming.;7.2 Lesson 14 Computer-aided Part Programming ; 1. The system can be used for off-line checking of the program. Resulting tool paths can be graphically displayed on the computer screen. The user can zoom in and view the tool paths at various orientations. The system can generate real time material removal displays and flag tool breakthrough or part violation problems. 2. Time and cost of machining the part can be quickly determined. 3. The system can determine optimum tooling, speeds and feeds for the material selected.;7.3 Reading Materials 13 Conversational Programming ; Once the program is written, the programmer needs an output file in order to use it on the CNC machine. To enable the CNC machine control to read and execute the prepared program, the output file must be compatible with the tape format of one particular machine, including the G and M codes. However, in the CNC field, there are variations in tape format from one machine combination to another. The answer is a postprocessor.; T
