(The term "Macro programming" in this sense is distinctly different from its more common use to refer to the action of programming a macro in G-code.) Fanuc controllers (and most others, because Fanuc compatibility is a de facto standard) support the following fixed cycles: Source: Smid 2008 [2] These are examples used on a mill.
G-code (also RS-274) is the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) and 3D printing programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools, as well as for 3D-printer slicer applications. The G stands for geometry. G-code has many variants. G-code instructions are provided to a ...
FANUC PLC. FANUC (/ ˈfænək / or / ˈfænʊk /; often styled Fanuc) is a Japanese group of companies that provide automation products and services such as robotics and computer numerical control wireless systems. [6]
A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. It is used to operate tools such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers and 3D printers. CNC transforms a piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, stone ...
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material [ 1 ] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions [ 2 ] on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. [ 3 ] Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large ...
The fundamental basis for creating the cutter paths suitable for CNC milling are functions that can find valid cutter locations, and stringing them together in a series. There are two broad and conflicting approaches to the problem of generating valid cutter locations, given a CAD model and a tool definition: calculation by offsets, and ...
The part program is a sequence of instruction that describe the work that is to be done to a part. Typically these instructions are generated in Computer-aided manufacturing software and are then fed into the computer numerical control (CNC) software on the machines, such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers, that are performing work on the part.
