CNC Programming: Principles and Applications |
CNC Programming--Principles and Applications is a book that students, machinists, and machine operators can use to help them learn how to program CNC machine tools such as milling centers. Its focus is on the most commonly used language in industry which is called G & M-code programming, or Fanuc-style programming.
CNC Programming--Principles and Applications is presented in three sections. The first section provides the groundwork to modern manufacturing and takes the reader on through the fundamentals of CNC machine tools, manufacturing processes and technical mathematics. The second section introduces the concept of NC part programming and gently presents the fundamental aspects of the language over four chapters. The last section provides advanced programming concepts and techniques for the milling center and lathe. Additional reference material is provided in the appendices so that CNC Programming--Principles and Applications can serve as a stand-alone resource for a CNC programming class or teaching unit.
CNC Programming--Principles and Applications is different form other programming books because it provides a systematic path from planning to programming a NC machining job. Additionally, this work provides material that is a prerequisite for NC programming including trigonometry, speeds and feeds, CNC control, and tooling. The assumption is that the reader has some conventional machining experience, but has not had any additional academic preparation, which is required in programming.
In addition to the previously mentions features, CNC Programming--Principles and Applications also includes the following strengths and features:
