About this title

Synopsis:

For introductory courses in CNC manufacturing technology and machine technology.

This superbly detailed and illustrated text clearly defines, explains and illustrates the basics of CNC machining centers and CNC turning machines. The volume sufficiently identifies, outlines and explains all the important fundamentals of control components, control operations, machine operation functions, and setup methods and procedures. It provides hands-on experience with a straightforward step-by-step methodology that is easy to understand and illustrates the main components and characteristics that are associated with each CNC machine type.

From the Back Cover:

This book was developed to introduce students and machining professionals to the basic operations and methods of computer numerical control (CNC) technology. It provides a solid foundation for future advanced design and programming study.

Intended for readers with diverse backgrounds, concepts are presented using an applied, hands-on, step-by-step methodology, which is easy to understand and follow. Using generic examples not tied to a particular brand, coverage includes CNC set-up, operation, tooling, program structure, and machining processes. In addition, reviews of mathematics, blueprint reading, and metrology are included as needed.

Some of the key features include:

• Safety issues are emphasized throughout the text.
• Useful and effective illustrations visually support the explanations and program samples.
• Readers are shown how to understand the format and concepts of CNC programs.
• G-Codes, M-Codes, and the various other letter address codes are all discussed, in addition to operational codes, such as tool changing, offsets, spindles speed, coolant, and program stops.
• CNC machine types, toolholders, cutting tools, and workholding devices are fully covered.
