CNC Programing method introduction _ Basic

Motivation and uses
To manufacture complex curved geometries in 2D or 3D
was extremely expensive by mechanical means (which
usually would require complex jigs to control the cutter
motions)
Machining components with repeatable accuracy
Unmanned machining operations

Advantages of CNC
- Easier to program;
- Easy storage of existing programs;
- Easy to change a program
- Avoids human errors
- safer to operate
- Complex geometry is produced as cheaply as simple ones
- Usually generates closer tolerances than manual machines

Vertical Milling machine architecture
Conventional milling machines

Types of CNC machines
Based on Motion Type:
Point-to-Point or Continuous path
Based on Control Loops:
Open loop or Closed loop
Based on Power Supply:
Electric or Hydraulic or Pneumatic
Based on Positioning System
Incremental or Absolute

Basic CNC Principles
• Using a vertical mill
machining center as an
example, there are typically
three linear axes of motion.
Each is given an alphabetic
designation or address. The
machine table motion side to
side is called the “X” axis.
Table movement in and out
is the “Y” axis, while head
movement up and down the
column is the “Z” axis.

Coordinates System
Absolute Coordinate System
Incremental Coordinate System

All computer controlled machines are able to accurately and
repeatedly control motion in various directions. Each of these
directions of motion is called an axis. Depending on the machine
type there are commonly two to five axes.
Additionally, a CNC axis may be either a linear axis in which
movement is in a straight line, or a rotary axis with motion
following a circular path.

If a rotary table is added to the machine table, then
the fourth axis is designated the “b” axis.

How CNC Works
• Controlled by G and M codes.
• These are number values and co-ordinates.
• Each number or code is assigned to a
particular operation.
• Typed in manually to CAD by machine
operators.
• G&M codes are automatically generated by
the computer software.

Features of CNC Machinery
• The tool or material moves.
• Tools can operate in 1-5 axes.
• Larger machines have a machine control unit
(MCU) which manages operations.
• Movement is controlled by a motors (actuators).
• Feedback is provided by sensors (transducers)
• Tool magazines are used to change tools
automatically.

Tools
• Most are made from
high speed steel (HSS),
tungsten carbide or ceramics.
• Tools are designed to direct waste away from
the material.
• Some tools need coolant such as oil to protect
the tool and work.

Tool Paths, Cutting
and Plotting Motions
• Tool paths describes the route the cutting tool takes.
• Motion can be described as point to point, straight cutting or
contouring.
• Speeds are the rate at which the tool operates e.g. rpm.
• Feeds are the rate at which the cutting tool and work piece
move in relation to each other.
• Feeds and speeds are determined by cutting depth, material
and quality of finish needed. e.g. harder materials need slower
feeds and speeds.
• Rouging cuts remove larger amounts of material than finishing
cuts.
• Rapid traversing allows the tool or work piece to move rapidly
when no machining is taking place.

Manual NC programming
Part program: A computer program to specify
- Which tool should be loaded on the machine spindle;
- What are the cutting conditions (speed, feed, coolant ON/OFF etc)
- The start point and end point of a motion segment
- how to move the tool with respect to the machine.
Standard Part programming language: RS 274-D (Gerber, GN-code)

History of CNC
The RS274-D is a word address format
Each line of program == 1 block
Each block is composed of several instructions, or (words)
Sequence and format of words:

CNC Programming Basics
• CNC instructions are called part program commands.
• When running, a part program is interpreted one command
line at a time until all lines are completed.
• Commands, which are also referred to as blocks, are made up
of words which each begin with a letter address and end with a
numerical value.

CNC Programming Basics
• Each letter address relates to a specific machine function. “G”
and “M” letter addresses are two of the most common. A “G”
letter specifies certain machine preparations such as inch or
metric modes, or absolutes versus incremental modes.
• A “M” letter specifies miscellaneous machine functions and
work like on/off switches for coolant flow, tool changing, or
spindle rotation. Other letter addresses are used to direct a
wide variety of other machine commands.

CNC programming
Important things to know:
• Coordinate System
• Units, incremental or absolute positioning
• Coordinates: X,Y,Z, RX,RY,RZ
• Feed rate and spindle speed
• Coolant Control: On/Off, Flood, Mist
• Tool Control: Tool and tool parameters

• Programming consists of a series of instructions in form of letter codes
• Preparatory Codes:
• G codes- Initial machining setup and establishing operating conditions
• N codes- specify program line number to executed by the MCU
• Axis Codes: X,Y,Z - Used to specify motion of the slide along X, Y, Z
direction
• Feed and Speed Codes: F and S- Specify feed and spindle speed
• Tool codes: T – specify tool number
• Miscellaneous codes – M codes For coolant control and other activities
CNC programming

Programming Key Letters
• O - Program number (Used for program identification)
• N - Sequence number (Used for line identification)
• G - Preparatory function
• X - X axis designation
• Y - Y axis designation
• Z - Z axis designation
• R - Radius designation
• F – Feed rate designation
• S - Spindle speed designation
• H - Tool length offset designation
• D - Tool radius offset designation
• T - Tool Designation
• M - Miscellaneous function

Explanation of commonly used G
codes
• G00 – Preparatory code to control final position of the tool
and not concerned with the path that is followed in arriving at
the final destination.
• G01 – Tool is required to move in a straight line connecting
current position and final position. Used for tool movement
without any machining- point to point control. (linear
interpolation)
• G02 – Tool path followed is along an arc specified by I, J and
K codes.( circular interpolation)

• M06 Tool change
• M08 Coolant on
• M09 Coolant off
• M10 Clamps on
• M11 Clamps off
• M30 Program stop, reset to start

Optimum machine programming requires consideration of certain
machine operating parameters including:
• Positioning control
• Compensations
• Special machine features
Positioning control is the ability to program tool and machine slide
movement simultaneously along two or more axes. Positioning may
be for point-to-point movement or for contouring movement along a
continuous path. Contouring requires tool movement along multiple
axes simultaneously. This movement is referred to as “Interpolation”
which is the process of calculating intermediate values between
specific points along a programmed path and outputting those
values as a precise motion. Interpolation may be linear having just a
start and end point along a straight line, or circular which requires an
end point, a center and a direction around the arc.

Two computer-based systems which impact the use of CNC technology are
computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing.
A computer aided design, or CAD, system uses computers to graphically create
product designs and models. These designs can be reviewed, revised, and
refined for optimum end use and application. Once finalized, the CAD design
is then exported to a computer aided manufacturing, or CAM, system.
CAM systems assist in all phases of manufacturing a product, including
process planning, production planning, machining, scheduling, management
and quality control.

Software programs can automatic generation of CNC data

cutting

Automatic part programming and DNC
Very complex part shapes  very large NC program
NC controller memory may not handle HUGE part program
computer feeds few blocks of
NC program to controller
When almost all blocks executed,
controller requests more blocks

Summary
CNC machines allow precise and repeatable control in machining
CNC lathes, Milling machines, etc. are all controlled by NC programs
NC programs can be generated manually, automatically
