SXPI 陕西工业职业技术学院 The newest form of NC programming is called CAM. CAM stands for computer aided manufacturing. When using a CAM system, the programmer either calls up an existing part drawing, or defines the part geometry to the computer. Next, the cutter path is drawn around the part and the necessary information on cut direction, tool, speeds, and feeds are input. CAM是指计算机辅助制造，这是数控编程的最新形式。当使用CAM系统时，编程人员或者调用一个现存的零件图样，或者给计算机定义零件的几何参数。接着，走刀路线被绕着零件绘出来，有关切削方向、刀具、速度、进给量的必要的信息被输入。 This information is then converted into either an APT file or a cutter centerline data file by a postprocessor. This data is then fed through a secondary postprocessor, which produces the necessary NC code for a given machine. 然后由后置处理器把这些信息转化成一个APT文件，或者转化成一个刀具中心线数据文件。这些数据然后通过另一个后置处理器输入，该后置处理器为给定的机床生成需要的数控代码。 There are a number of different CAM systems on the market .The following is a brief explanation of several different types. 市场上有许多不同的CAM系统。下面对几种不同的类型做以简要的说明。 Digitizing Systems数字化系统 Digitizing systems use an existing part drawing to obtain the geometry information. The drawing used must be drawn to a true scale of the finished part. The scale drawing is fed into a digitizer which is connected to the CAM system computer. A digitizer is a device consisting of a table with a probe or other sensor attached. 数字化系统是用现存的零件样图获得几何信息，所使用的样图必须按零件的实际尺寸绘出来。按比例绘制的样图被输入一个数字转换器，它连接着CAM系统的计算机。数字转换器由附带着探针或其它传感器的工作台组成。 The sensing device is passed over the drawing, converting drawing lines in the necessary mathematical information into electronic form which the computer needs to recreate the drawing .The cutter path is then defined by the programmer and the cutter, speed, and feed information input. The result is then postprocessed into the necessary tape code for the CNC machine. 传感装置通过样图，把携带必要的数学信息的样图线条转换成电量的形式，这是计算机重新绘制样图需要的。然后，编程人员定义走刀路线，输入刀具、速度、进给量信息。最后，其结果被后置处理成为数控机床所必需的纸带代码。 which the computer needs to recreate the drawing 为定语从句，修饰electronic form。
