Description:

CNC Programming: Principles and Applications sets machinists and machine operators on a systematic path to mastering G- and M-code programming, guiding them from initial planning through programming of an actual NC machining job. The first section of the book lays the foundation by introducing readers to the fundamentals of CNC machine tools, manufacturing processes, and necessary technical mathematics. The next four chapters of the book explain concepts of NC part programming, and the final section features advanced programming concepts and techniques for the milling center and lathe. Readers who have acquired some conventional machining experience, yet have little or no formal academic training, will find this how-to and reference book to be particularly well-suited to their needs.

Features:

Short, to-the-point code examples focus attention on specific topics, while complete part programs enable new CNC programmers to integrate seemingly disjointed concepts.
Numerous illustrations explain core principles, allowing the author to convey concepts visually to readers more accustomed to the language of graphics vs. dense text.
AutoEditNC programming software (a specialized code editor and simulation package) is available free to readers to download for additional Fanuc-style programming practice.
The general approach acknowledges the absence of an industry-wide standard while allowing readers to account for wide variation in machine tool controls and differences between various brands of controls.
Prerequisites for successful NC programming - such as trigonometry, speeds and feeds, CNC control, and tooling - are explained in detail for benefit of the reader.
