BASIC REQUIREMENT OF NC MACHINE CONTROL


a. Preparatory functions: which unit, which interpolator, absolute or incremental programming, which circular interpolation plane, cutter compensation, etc. b. Coordinates: three translational, and three rotational axes. c. Machining parameters: feed, and speed. d. Tool control: tool diameter, next tool number, tool change. e. Cycle functions: drill cycle, ream cycle, bore cycle, mill cycle, clearance plane. f. Coolant control: coolant on/off, flood, mist. g. Miscellaneous control: spindle on/off, tape rewind, spindle rotation direction, pallet change, clamps control, etc. h. Interpolators: linear, circular interpolation

MANUAL PART PROGRAMMING


Example 10.1 Machined from a 5" x 4" x 2" workpiece. low carbon steel. The process plan: 1. Set the lower left bottom corner of the part as the machine zero point (floating zero programming). 2. Clamp the workpiece in a vise. 3. Mill the slot with a 3/4" four flute flat end mill made of carbide. From the machinability data handbook, the recommended feed is 0.005 inch/tooth/rev, and the recommended cutting speed is 620 fpm. 4. Drill two holes with a 0.75" dia twist drill. Use 0.18 ipr feed and 100 fpm speed.
