- 13. NC MACHINE CLASSIFICATIONS4. Positioning systems: incremental absolute positioning 5. Hardwired NC and softwired Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
- 14. POINT TO POINT • Moving at maximum rate from point to point. • Accuracy of the destination is important but not the path. • Drilling is a good application.
- 15. CONTINUOUS PATH• Controls both the displacement and the velocity. • Machining profiles. • Precise control. • Use linear and circular interpolators.
- 16. COMPONENTS OF AN NC MACHINE TOOL Magnetics control cabinet Controller Servo drive Machine table Position transducer Leadscrew Gear box Tachometer Motor
- 17. NC MACHINE RATING• Accuracy • Repeatability • Spindle and axis motor horsepower • Number of controlled axes • Dimension of workspace • Features of the machine and the controller.
- 18. NC ACCURACY• Accuracy = control instrumentation resolution and hardware accuracy. • Control resolution: the minimum length distinguishable by the control unit (BLU). • Hardware inaccuracies are caused by physical machine errors.
- 19. HARDWARE INACCURACIESComponent tolerances: inaccuracies in the machine elements, machine-tool assembly errors, spindle runout, and leadscrew backlash. Machine operation: Tool deflection (a function of the cutting force), produces dimensional error and chatter marks on the finished part.
- 20. HARDWARE INACCURACIESThermal error: heat generated by the motor operation, cutting process, friction on the ways and bearings, etc. Use cutting fluids, locating drive motors away from the center of a machine, and reducing friction from the ways and bearings
- 21. REPEATABILIT Y Avg. error Programmed position Test result Repeatability
- 22. LEADSCREW S Leadscrew Pitch Nut Converting the rotational motion of the motors to a linear motion. pitch (p): the distance between adjacent screw threads the number of teeth per inch (n): n = 1 / p BLU: Basic Length Unit (machine resolution) BLU = p / N
- 23. CONTROL LOOPS Open loop - No position feedback. Use stepping motor. motor table pulses
- 24. CONTROL LOOPS• A machine has 1 BLU = 0.001".To move the table 5" on X axis at a speed (feed rate) of 6 ipm. • pulse rate = speed/BLU = 6 ipm/0.001 ipp= 6,000 pulse/min • pulse count = distance/BLU = 5/0.001 = 5,000 pulses
- 25. CLOSED LOOP Reference pulses + DC Motor Tacho- meter Differential amplifier EncoderUp-down counter AmpDAC _ + Shaft Closed-loop control mechanism
- 26. INTERPOLATIO NControl multiple axes simultaneously to move on a line, a circle, or a curve. (3,2) (10,5) X Y Point-to-point control path (3,2) (10,5) X Y Linear path Vy =6 (5-2) (10-3) 2 + (5-2) 2 = 6 3 49+ 9 = 2.3635 Vx =6 (10-3) (10-3) 2 + (5-2) 2 = 6 7 49+ 9 = 5.5149
- 27. INTERPOLATOR S• Most common : linear and circular • Since interpolation is right above the servo level, speed is critical, and the process must not involve excessive computation. • Traditional NC interpolators: Digital Differential Analyzer (DDA) • Higher order curves, such as Bezier's curve, use off-line approximation algorithms to break the curves into linear or circular segments.
- 28. COORDINATE SYSTEMS • Right hand rule • Z axis align with the spindle - +Z moves away from the workpiece or the spindle. • X axis - Lathe: perpendicular to the spindle. • Horizontal machine: parallel to the table. • Vertical machine: +X points to the right. x y z x y z

- #4: There are several references that can be used here. The web site contains a CNC Machining Center User’s Manual. It is operational at this time.
- #5: Students should understand what operations should be used to produce what feature. Planning a simple prismatic part is a good warm up activity for students. Here I have used the same exercise that was used for the first Lean Manufacturing Module.
