Synopsis

Using a practical, step-by-step approach, easy-to-follow language, an abundance of graphics, and state-of-the-art professional machining simulation/verification software, this text/CD-ROM package gradually develops the most fundamental concepts in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology?with a focus on word address (G and M code) programming for the industry standard Fanuc controllers. An emphasis on program pattern recognition helps readers learn to organize lines of CNC code into specific groups that execute particular machining operations. Contains self-contained, thoroughly tested program listings, over 92 completely solved programming examples, over 165 self-contained programming exercises, a review of important mathematical principles, and quick-reference appendixes. The accompanying software can be run on many types of computer platforms. Modern Machine Tool Controls. Tooling for Hole and Milling Operations. Features of CNC Machining Centers. Review of Basic Blueprint Reading. Review of Basic Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Mathematics for CNC Programming. An Overview of CNC Shop Activities. Word Address Programming. Programming Hole Operations. Programming Linear Profiles. Programming Circular Profiles. Programming with Cutter Diameter Compensation. Programming with Subprograms. Introduction to the CNC Lathe. Fundamental Concepts of CNC Lathe Programming. Techniques and Fixed Cycles for CNC Lathe Programming. Modern Computer-Aided Part Programming. Elements of the Computer-Controlled Factory. Verifying Part Programs. For CNC Programmers/Operators, Machinists, Process Engineers, Industrial Engineers, Shop Operators/Managers, Planners, Coordinators, Sales Personnel.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This third edition of an award-winning classic in the field marks a breakthrough in technology-aided learning. Introduction to Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Third Edition, continues with its major goal of clearly presenting the fundamentals of CNC operations and programming. Also, with the addition of the Predator simulation software, readers will have an opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world applications.
