2. COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL(CNC)
INTRODUCTION
Computer numerical control CNC) is one in which
the functions and motions of a machine tool are
controlled by means of a prepared program
containing coded alphanumeric data.
CNC can control the motion of the work piece or
tool, the input parameters such as feed, depth of
cut, speed, and the function such as turning spindle
on / off, coolant on/off.
3. ADVANTAGE AND LIMITATIONS
The benefits of CNC are
a) High accuracy in manufacturing.
b) Short production time.
c) Reduced human error.
d) Simpler fixturing.
The drawback include
a) High Cost.
b) High Maintenance Cost.
9. CNC MILLING (MTAB)
Program build-up for CNC MILLING using FANUC
System.
CNC Program can be divided into three parts.
1. Start-up Program
2. Profile Program
3. End of the Program
13. CNC LATHE AND MILLING- M-Codes
M-codes are miscellaneous functions that
include actions necessary for machining but
not those that are actual tool movements (for
example, auxiliary functions). They include
actions such as spindle on and off, tool
changes, coolant on and off, program stops,
and similar related functions.
21. CNC LATHE AND MILLING- G-Codes
G-codes are
preparatory
fuctios that
iole actual tool
moes (for example,
cotrol of the
machie). These
iclude rapid moes,
feed moes, radial
feed moes, dwells,
