Programming of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines
Programming of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines Author:Ken Evans, John Polywka, Stanley Gabrel Written in simple, easy-to-understand language by skilled programmers with years of experience teaching CNC machining to the industry and in formal education settings, Programming of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines provides full descriptions of many operation and programming functions and illustrates their practical applications through... more » examples. It provides in-depth information on how to program turning and milling machines, which is applicable to almost all control systems. And it keeps all theoretical explanations to a minimum throughout so that they do not distort an understanding of the programming. Completely revised and updated, the second edition features an updated CNC controller representation in the Operation Section and new sections on CAD/CAM and Conversational Programming that offer insight into the modern methods of CNC programming, as well as illustrates how to create each programming example through clear step-by-step presentations. Programming of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines also provides practical examples and study questions throughout, allowing users to demonstrate their proficiency and features improved blueprints and drawings recreated to ANSI standards in order to improve clarity. Whats more, a glossary of terminology and useful technical data and charts needed for effective programming and thorough descriptions of mathematical formula usage necessary for creating programs manually are included. And because of the wide range of information available about the selection of tools, cutting speeds, and the technology of machining, it is sure to benefit engineers, programmers, supervisors, and machine operators who need ready access to information that will solve CNC operation and programming problems.« less
