Download or read book CNC Programming Skills Program Entry and Editing on Fanuc Machines written by S. K. Sinha and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know how to insert a part of a program into another program at the desired location? Background editing?? Using PCMCIA card??? Or, maybe, a simple task such as replacing G02 by G03 in the whole file???? When it comes to manual program entry on the machine, or searching / deleting / editing / copying / moving / inserting an existing program residing in the control memory or the PCMCIA card, most people resort to trial and error method. While they might be able to accomplish what they desire, the right approach would save a lot of their precious time. If this is exactly what you want, this book is for you. The information contained herein is concise, yet complete and exhaustive. The best part is that you can enjoy the convenience of having the wealth of useful information on editing techniques even on your smart phone which is always with you! You would often need to refer to it because it is not possible to memorize all the steps which are many a time too complex and devoid of common logic, so as to make the correct guess. The following excerpt from the book would give an idea of the methodical and step-by-step approach adopted in the book: Writing a file on the memory card: The following operation will save program number 1234 in the memory card, with the name TESTPRO: * Select the EDIT mode on the MOP panel. * Press the PROG key on the MDI panel. * Press the next menu soft key. * Press the soft key CARD. * Press the soft key OPRT. * Press the soft key PUNCH. * Type 1234 and press the soft key O SET. * Type TESTPROG and press the soft key F NAME. * Press the soft key EXEC. While the file is being copied on the memory card, the character string OUTPUT blinks at the lower right corner of the screen. Copying may take several seconds, depending on the size of the file being copied. If a file with file name TESTPROG already exists in the memory card, it may be overwritten unconditionally or a message confirming the overwriting may be displayed, depending on a parameter setting. In case of such a warning message, press the EXEC soft key to overwrite, and CAN soft key to cancel writing. However, system information such as PMC ladder is always overwritten unconditionally. The copied file is automatically assigned the highest existing file number plus one. The comment, if any, with the O-word (i.e., in the first block of the program) will be displayed in the COMMENT column of the card directory. To write all programs, type -9999 as the program number. In this case, if file name is not specified, all the programs are saved in file name PROGRAM.ALL on the memory card. A file name can have up to 8 characters, and an extension up to 3 characters (XXXXXXXX.XXX). Repeat the last three steps to copy more files. Finally, press the CAN soft key, to cancel the copying mode and go to the previous menu.

Download or read book Getting Started with CNC written by Edward Ford and published by Maker Media, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Started with CNC is the definitive introduction to working with affordable desktop and benchtop CNCs, written by the creator of the popular open hardware CNC, the Shapeoko. Accessible 3D printing introduced the masses to computer-controlled additive fabrication. But the flip side of that is subtractive fabrication: instead of adding material to create a shape like a 3D printer does, a CNC starts with a solid piece of material and takes away from it. Although inexpensive 3D printers can make great things with plastic, a CNC can carve highly durable pieces out of a block of aluminum, wood, and other materials. This book covers the fundamentals of designing for--and working with--affordable ($500-$3000) CNCs.

Download or read book Advanced Design and Manufacturing Based on STEP written by Xun Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design and manufacturing is the essential element in any product development lifecycle. Industry vendors and users have been seeking a common language to be used for the entire product development lifecycle that can describe design, manufacturing and other data pertaining to the product. Many solutions were proposed, the most successful being the Stadndard for Exchange of Product model (STEP). STEP provides a mechanism that is capable of describing product data, independent from any particular system. The nature of this description makes it suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing, sharing and archiving product databases. ISO 10303-AP203 is the first and perhaps the most successful AP developed to exchange design data between different CAD systems. Going from geometric data (as in AP203) to features (as in AP224) represents an important step towards having the right type of data in a STEP-based CAD/CAM system. Of particular significance is the publication of STEP-NC, as an extension of STEP to NC, utilising feature-based concepts for CNC machining purposes. The aim of this book is to provide a snapshot of the recent research outcomes and implementation cases in the field of design and manufacturing where STEP is used as the primary data representation protocol. The 20 chapters are contributed by authors from most of the top research teams in the world. These research teams are based in national research institutes, industries as well as universities.

Download or read book Basics of CNC Programming written by Pawan Negi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the introduction of automatic machines and automation, industrial manufacturing of machines and their parts for the key industries were made though manually operated machines. Due to this, manufacturers could not make complex profiles or shapes with high accuracy. As a result, the production rate tended to be slow, production costs were very high, rejection rates were high and manufacturers often could not complete tasks on time.Industry was boosted by the introduction of the semi-automatic manufacturing machine, known as the NC machine, which was introduced in the 1950’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA. After these NC machine started to be used, typical profiles and complex shapes could get produced more readily, which in turn lead to an improved production rate with higher accuracy.Thereafter, in the 1970’s, an even larger revolutionary change was introduced to manufacturing, namely the use of the CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control). Since then, CNC has become the dominant production method in most manufacturing industries, including automotive, aviation, defence, oil and gas, medical, electronics industry, and the optical industry. Basics of CNC Programming describes how to design CNC programs, and what cutting parameters are required to make a good manufacturing program. The authors explain about cutting parameters in CNC machines, such as cutting feed, depth of cut, rpm, cutting speed etc., and they also explain the G codes and M codes which are common to CNC. The skill-set of CNC program writing is covered, as well as how to cut material during different operations like straight turning, step turning, taper turning, drilling, chamfering, radius profile, profile turning etc. In so doing, the authors cover the level of CNC programming from basic to industrial format. Drawings and CNC programs to practice on are also included for the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second edition. Revised and updated (January 2021). With free graphic simulation software, upgrade of procedures and images. This book is designed for students and teachers who are looking for a programming course in combination with a graphic simulation software. The course is based on the understanding of the ‘ISO Standard’ functions, i.e. the programming language at the basis of all numeric controls. The training and simulating software faithfully replicates a real numeric control on your computer. This course comprises chapters and paragraphs for both theoretical and practical learning. Paragraphs on theory contain drawings and diagrams that simplify the understanding of the text. The first practical experiences consist in the utilization of pre-drafted programs, which are useful to the participant’s initial understanding of the numeric control and its potential. Later you will learn how to write new programs with difficulty levels that are commensurate to the acquired experience. During the practical exercises the reader is constantly guided by the respective operating procedures. The learning method has been developed so that even beginners may complete the course and understand all the most complex functions and programming methods. Periodical tests are offered in order to help the students and teachers assess progress achieved or to highlight the topics for review. This is a fifty-hour course. The total number of hours necessary for the understanding of the theoretical part and for carrying out the practical exercises will always be specified at the beginning of each chapter. The course is centered on a three-axis lathe (X, Z, C) with driven tools, then the concepts applied to the programming of the lathe will be used to program a three-axis vertical mill (X, Y, Z). All the programs used during the explanations and the collection of the images contained in the book, which may be printed, viewed or displayed during the course at home or in the classroom may be downloaded from the website cncwebschool.com. Finally the book contains a list of technical terms and their translation from English into Italian and German.

Book excerpt: Instrument Engineers' Handbook – Volume 3: Process Software and Digital Networks, Fourth Edition is the latest addition to an enduring collection that industrial automation (AT) professionals often refer to as the "bible." First published in 1970, the entire handbook is approximately 5,000 pages, designed as standalone volumes that cover the measurement (Volume 1), control (Volume 2), and software (Volume 3) aspects of automation. This fourth edition of the third volume provides an in-depth, state-of-the-art review of control software packages used in plant optimization, control, maintenance, and safety. Each updated volume of this renowned reference requires about ten years to prepare, so revised installments have been issued every decade, taking into account the numerous developments that occur from one publication to the next. Assessing the rapid evolution of automation and optimization in control systems used in all types of industrial plants, this book details the wired/wireless communications and software used. This includes the ever-increasing number of applications for intelligent instruments, enhanced networks, Internet use, virtual private networks, and integration of control systems with the main networks used by management, all of which operate in a linked global environment. Topics covered include: Advances in new displays, which help operators to more quickly assess and respond to plant conditions Software and networks that help monitor, control, and optimize industrial processes, to determine the efficiency, energy consumption, and profitability of operations Strategies to counteract changes in market conditions and energy and raw material costs Techniques to fortify the safety of plant operations and the security of digital communications systems This volume explores why the holistic approach to integrating process and enterprise networks is convenient and efficient, despite associated problems involving cyber and local network security, energy conservation, and other issues. It shows how firewalls must separate the business (IT) and the operation (automation technology, or AT) domains to guarantee the safe function of all industrial plants. This book illustrates how these concerns must be addressed using effective technical solutions and proper management policies and practices. Reinforcing the fact that all industrial control systems are, in general, critically interdependent, this handbook provides a wide range of software application examples from industries including: automotive, mining, renewable energy, steel, dairy, pharmaceutical, mineral processing, oil, gas, electric power, utility, and nuclear power.
