  1. 1. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 11 1. INTRODUCTION TO NC DNC AND CNC 1.1 NUMERICAL CONTROL (NC) Fig.1.1 Numerical Control Systems. Numerical control (NC) systems are hardware controls in which most of functions are carried out by electronic hardware based upon digital circuit technology. Numerical Control is a technique for controlling machine tools or processes using coded command instructions. These coded command instructions are interpreted and converted by NC controller into two types of signals namely; motion control signals and miscellaneous control signals. Motion control signals are a series of electric pulse trains that are used to control the positions and the speed of the machine table and spindle, whereas miscellaneous control signals are set of ON/OFF signals to execute the spindle rotation and direction, control of coolant supply, selection of cutting tools, automatic clamping and unclamping, etc. In motion control signals, each pulse activates a motion of one basic length-unit (BLU).
  2. 2. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 12 1.2 DIRECT NUMERICAL CONTROL (DNC) Direct numerical control (DNC), also known as distributed numerical control (also DNC), is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools. DNC networking or DNC communication is always required when CAM programs are to run on some CNC machine control. 1.3 COMPUTERNUMERICAL CONTROL (CNC) Fig.1.3 Block diagram of Computer Numerical control system CNC controls are soft-wired NC systems as control functions are controlled by software programs. Alternatively, Computer Numerical Control is the numerical control system in which dedicated, stored program microprocessors are built into the control to perform basic and advanced NC functions. Control signals in CNC systems are in the form of binary words, where each word contains fixed number of bits, 32 bits or 64 bits are commonly used, representing different axial positions. A CNC system consists of the following 6 major elements: a. Input Device b. Machine Control Unit c. Machine Tool d. Driving System e. Feedback Devices f. Display Unit
  3. 3. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 13 1.3.1 PROGRAMME INPUT DEVICE The program input device is the means for part program to be entered into the CNC control. Three commonly used program input devices are punch tape reader, magnetic tape reader, and computer via RS-232-C communication. 1.3.2 MACHINE CONTROL UNIT The machine control unit (MCU) is the heart of a CNC system. It is used to perform the following functions: It read the coded instructions, decode the coded instructions. Implement interpolations (linear, circular, and helical) to generate axis motion commands. and feed the axis motion commands to the amplifier circuits for driving the axis mechanisms. And it receives the feedback signals of position and speed for each drive axis. To implement auxiliary control functions such as coolant or spindle on/off and tool change. 1.3.3 MACHINE TOOL CNC controls are used to control various types of machine tools. Regardless of which type of machine tool is controlled, it always has a slide table and a spindle to control position and speed. The machine table is controlled in the X and Y axes, while the spindle runs along the Z axis. 1.3.4 FEEDBACK SYSTEM The feedback system is also referred to as the measuring system It uses position and speed transducers to continuously monitor the position at which the cutting tool is located at any particular instant. The MCU uses the difference between reference signals and feedback signals to generate the control signals for correcting position and speed errors. 1.3.5 DRIVE SYSTEM Drives are used to provide controlled motion to CNC elements drive system consists of amplifier circuits, drive motors, and ball lead-screws. The MCU feeds the control signals (position and speed) of each axis to the amplifier circuits. The motors used for CNC system are of two kinds- 1. Electrical –DC or AC Stepper motors and DC or AC servo motors 2. Fluid - Hydraulic or Pneumatic
  4. 4. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 14 2. CONTROL PANEL OF CNC Fig.2 Control Panel A CNC machine is normally controlled by a computer and software. However, most CNC machines have a range of controls for manual use. It is rare for a CNC machine to be used manually as simple operations are best carried out on cheap/basic/manual machines. When a CNC machine is used manually it is being used well below its capability and specification. 2.1RESET BUTTON The most important control button is usually the reset button. When the CNC machine is turned on, the reset button is pressed by the machine operator. This zero the cutter, moving the cutter to coordinates 0, 0, 0 on the X, And Z axis. In simple terms, the reset button moves the cutter to the corner of the machine, above the work table. 2.2 MANUAL CONTROL The cutter can be controlled manually although this is rarely needed. The ‘X’ and ‘Y’ buttons control the movement of the cutter along the horizontal surfaces. The ‘Z’ buttons control depth and up / down movement. 2.3 STOP BUTTON Most control panels have stop buttons. When pressed these stop the machine very quickly. 2.4 SPEED AND FEED On some CNC machines it is possible to manually vary the speed and feed of the cutter.

CNC Wire EDM. 3.1 CNC LATHE (FANUC SERIES OI-TC) 3.1.1 SPECIFICATIONS Table.3.11 CNC Lathe Specification EQUIPMENT UNIT RANGE Made = Fanuc ---- ---- Chuck diameter mm 200 Max. cutting diameter mm 200 Max. cutting length mm 500 Spindle bore diameter mm 55 Spindle rotating speed rpm 45-4000 Main motor power(AC) kW 11 Hydraulic unit power motor kW 1.5 Chip conveyor motor kW 0.2 Coolant pump motor kW 0.55 Weight Kg 5000
  6. 6. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 16 Fig.3.11 CNC Lathe. 3.1.2 ABOUT CNC LATHE Some view lathes as the only universal CNC machine tool because a lathe can make all of the parts needed for another lathe. A lathe spins the work-piece in a spindle while a fixed cutting tool approaches the work-piece to slice chips off of it. The act of cutting a work-piece on a lathe is called "Turning". Computer numerical control (CNC) has been incorporated into a variety of new technologies and machinery. One such machine of this sort that is used for a wide array of production processes is known as a CNC lathe. Due to technological advancements, CNC lathes are quickly replacing some of the older and more traditionally used production lathes, such as the multi-spindle. CNC lathes come with a number of benefits. They can be easily set up and operated. They offer tremendous repeatability, along with top-notch accuracy in production. A CNC lathe is typically designed to utilize modern versions of carbide tooling and processes. A part can be designed for customization, and the machine’s tool paths are often programmed using the CAD or CAM processes some prime examples of finished items as a result of using CNC lathe machines include: Baseball Bats, Bowls, Camshafts, Crankshafts Cue, sticks Dining, Room Table and Chair Legs, Gun Barrels, Musical Instruments
  7. 7. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 17 3.1.3 PREPARING AND USING OF CNC LATHE Checking to make sure the lathe is lubricated and learning to schedule routine maintenance in accordance with workplace standards. Learning to translate product specifications and work instructions into a machine-readable format. Establishing criteria for tool selection with efficiency and safety in mind. Installing work-piece handling devices and inserting tools into their corresponding slots. Learning to load a machining program into the CNC lathe and aligning its data points according to project requirements. Producing sample parts to verify if they match specifications and operator instructions. 3.2 CNC MILLING MACHINE (SEIMENS CONTROLLER) Fig.3.2 CNC Milling Machine
  8. 8. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 18 3.2.1 SPECIFICATIONS Table.3.21 CNC Milling specification CNC controller Siemens control Axis Motor & Drive AC Servo (1.3 Nm) Spindle Motor 1 HP with VFD (3PH).

Table Load Capacity 100 Kg. 3.2.2 ABOUT CNC MILLING CNC milling is a specific form of computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining. Milling itself is a machining process similar to both drilling and cutting, and able to achieve many of the operations performed by cutting and drilling machines. Like drilling, milling uses a rotating cylindrical cutting tool. However, the cutter in a milling machine is able to move along multiple axes, and can create a variety of shapes, slots and holes. In addition, the work-piece is often moved across the milling tool in different directions, unlike the single axis motion of a drill. CNC milling devices are the most widely used type of CNC machine. Typically, they are grouped by the number of axes on which they operate, which are labelled with various letters. X and Y designate horizontal movement of the work-piece (forward-and-back and side-to-side on a flat plane). Z represents vertical, or up-and-down, movement, while W represents diagonal movement across a vertical plane. Most machines offer from 3 to 5 axes, providing performance along at least the X, Y and Z axes. Advanced machines, such as 5-axis milling centres, require CAM programming for optimal performance due to the incredibly complex geometries involved in the machining process. These devices are extremely useful because they are able to produce shapes that would be nearly impossible using manual tooling methods. Most CNC milling machines also integrate a device for pumping cutting fluid to the cutting tool during machining.

Deal promptly and effectively with problems within your control, and seek help and guidance from the relevant people if you have problems that you cannot resolve. Shut down the equipment to a safe. 3.3 CNC WIRE EDM (MITSUBISHI CONTROLLER) Fig.3.3 CNC Wire EDM

In this process an electric spark is used as the cutting tool to cut (erode) the work piece to produce the finished part to the desired shape.
  11. 11. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 21 The wire-cut type of machine arose in the 1960s for the purpose of making tools (dies) from hardened steel. The tool electrode in wire EDM is simply a wire. The first CNC EDM machine was produced in 1976. EDM wire cutting uses a metallic wire to cut a programmed contour in a work piece. Extrusion dies and blanking punches are very often machined by wire cutting. Cutting is always through the entire work piece. To start machining it is first necessary to drill a hole in the work piece or start from the edge. On the machining area, each discharge creates a crater in the work piece and an impact on the tool. The wire can be inclined, thus making it possible to make parts with taper or with different profiles at the top and bottom. There is never any mechanical contact between the electrode and work piece. The wire is usually made of brass or stratified copper, and is between 0.1 and 0.3 mm diameter. Depending on the accuracy and surface finish needed, a part will either be one cut or it will be roughed and skimmed. On a one cut the wire ideally passes through a solid part and drops a slug or scrap piece when it is done. This will give adequate accuracy for some jobs, but most of the time, skimming is necessary. A skim cut is where the wire is passed back over the roughed surface again with a lower power setting and low pressure flush. There can be from one to nine skim passes depending on the accuracy and surface finish required. Usually there are just two skim passes. A skim pass can remove as much as 0.002" of material or a as little as 0.0001". During roughing (i.e. the first cut) the water is forced into the cut at high pressure in order to provide plenty of cooling and eliminate eroded particles as fast as possible. During skimming (accuracy / finish cuts) the water is gently flowed over the burn so as not to deflect the wire. 3.3.4 PREPARING AND USING OF WIRE EDM Work safely at all times, complying with health and safety legislation, regulations and other relevant guidelines. Plan the CNC machining activities before you start them. Load/input the program to the machine controller and check the program for errors using the approved procedures. Mount and set the required work holding devices, work-piece and cutting tools. Check that all safety mechanisms are in place, and that the equipment is set correctly for the required operations The whole operation should take place inside water. Run the operating program, and check and adjust the machine speeds, feeds and cutting parameters to achieve the component specification.

KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 22 Measure and check that all dimensional and geometrical aspects of the component are to the specification. Deal promptly and effectively with problems within your control, and seek help and guidance from the relevant people if you have problems that you cannot resolve. Shut down the equipment to a safe 4. STRUCTURE OF NC PART PROGRAM In general, several commands are grouped together to accomplish a specific machining operation, hence the use of a block of information for each operation. Each command gives a specific element of control data, such as dimension or a feed rate. Each command within a block is also called a word. The way in which words are arranged within the block is called block format. Three different block formats are commonly used, (Fixed sequential format, Tab sequential format and Word address format) With this type of format, each type of word is assigned as address that is identified by a letter code within the part program. Thus the letter code specifies the type of word that follows and then its associated numeric data is given. For example, the code T represents a tool number. Thus a word of the form T01 would represent tool number 1. Theoretically, with this approach, the words in a given block can be entered in any sequence and the controller should be able to interpret them correctly. With the word address format only the needed words for a given operation have to be included within the block. The command to which the particular numeric data applies is identified by the preceding address code. Word format has the advantage of having more than one particular command in one block something that would be impossible in the other two formats. N-CODE: Sequence number, used to identify each block with in an NC program and provides a means by which NC commands may be rapidly located. It is program line number. It is a good practice to increment each block number by 5 to 10 to allow additional blocks to be inserted if future changes are required. G-CODE: Preparatory Word, used as a communication device to prepare the MCU. The G- code indicates that a given control function such as G01, linear interpolation, is to be requested. X, Y & Z-CODES: Coordinates. These give the coordinate positions of the tool. COMMONLY USED WORD ADDRESSES F-CODE: Feed rate. The F code specifies the feed in the machining operation.
  13. 13. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 23 S-CODE: Spindle speed. The S code specifies the cutting speed of the machining process. T-CODE: Tool selection. The T code specifies which tool is to be used in a specific operation. M-CODE: Miscellaneous function. The M code is used to designate a particular mode of operation for an NC machine tool. I, J & K-CODES: They specify the centre of arc coordinates from starting.

ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS OF CNC SYSTEMS 6.1 ADVANTAGES The manufacturing process can be simulated virtually and no need to make a prototype or a model. This saves time and money. Once programmed, these machines can be left and do not require any human intervention, except for work loading and unloading. These machines can manufacture several components to the required accuracy without any fatigue as in the case of manually operated machines. Savings in time that could be achieved with the CNC machines are quite significant. 6.2 DISADVANTAGES CNC machines are generally more expensive than manually operated machines. The CNC machine operator only needs basic training and skills, enough to supervise several machines. Increase in electrical maintenance, high initial investment and high per hour operating costs than the traditional systems. Fewer workers are required to operate CNC machines compared to manually operated machines. Investment in CNC machines can lead to unemployment. 6.3 APPLICATIONS CNC was initially applied to metal working machinery: Mills, Drills, boring machines, punch presses etchant now expanded to robotics, grinders, welding machinery, EDM's, flame cutters and also for inspection equipment etc. CNC electrical discharge machining (EDM). CNC fabrication machines (sheet metal punch press, bending machine, or press brake)

In the first day of training all the students were asked to assemble and campus tour was held. Introduction about various machines present in the GTTC and their applications was taught. The next day, the students were divided into 2 batches and timings were decided. The batches were allotted a trainer. Mr. Kotrappa , our trainer, conducted classes for 4 hours from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm every day . Lectures were given on the theory of NC, mainly CNC machines during the first few days. Various preparatory functions (G codes) and miscellaneous functions (M codes) were taught. Basic programs on turning, milling using G codes and M codes were taught. The theory sessions were followed by laboratory sessions on simulation. After some days, we were given hands on training on CNC machines to perform basic turning and milling operations. Demo on wire EDM operations were also shown. The internship ended on 08th of February 2018 and the students were awarded with 4 weeks of internship certificate.
  22. 22. KMCT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KUTTIPPURAM INTERNSHIP REPORT DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 32 II. SELF EVALUATION During 4 weeks of internship at GTTC Hassan, I was given training on CNC machines operations and their applications. I was eager to see the CNC operations as I was seeing it for the first time. It was a new experience for me to see such huge machines in working condition. The training started with some basic introduction to CNC machines. I could gain a decent knowledge about preparatory functions (G codes) and miscellaneous functions (M codes). I came to know about the differences between NC, CNC and DNC, and their operations, applications. Practical sessions were the most interesting ones. After 2 hours of theory sessions, we used to have practical sessions where I was allowed to have hands on experience on the machines. I also had laboratory sessions in the simulation lab which was comparatively a bit boring. Working in CNC machines was one of my most favourite parts. Our Trainer taught to write the programs really well which helped me to do well in the practical. Simulation lab was a bit boring since it was not that easy to understand. Even after trying for more than half an hour, I could not get the output. Another thing which was not satisfactory was complexities in programming for different types of machines. There are various types of machines such as SIEMENS, FANUC etc., for which we need to write different programs since the machines have differences in specifications. In spite of these drawbacks, it was a wonderful experience working as an intern in GTTC. Hence I have successfully studied about the CNC machine tool and their function. With their G & M codes and operation performed on these type of machine tool. The importance of lathes and milling machines even if they are conventional cannot be undetermined. These machines have played a vital role in bringing about industrial revolution and have laid the foundations. But the bringing about of the new technology in the present era is very important. The conventional machines are required in small quantities whereas the CNC machines must be increased to improve the quantity and quality of production.
