Basic of CNC programming | Basic program writing

This is the basic of CNC Programming .Here you will get a complete idea about the programming for CNC machine.Here you will learn about the codes,defining part of the program,Operation part of the program and closing part of the program.You will learn about some simple example of programming.

Basic of CNC programming is to learn about G codes ,M codes and all the steps.It is to learn about all steps of a program to complete a machining process.

Basic of cnc programming codes

Language of CNC machines

• G code
• M code

Here we are going to learn about Basic programming of FANUC (Oi-TB)and SIEMENS(802d/802dSL/828d).

Siemens G code list-802d

Siemens M code list-802d

Fanuc G codes-Series Oi-TB

Fanuc M codes-Oi-TB

Programming systems

There are two types of programming mode used in CNC.

• Absolute
• Incremental

Incremental progamming mode(G91)

This is the programming mode where the movement (tool/bed/spindle) based on its last(Current) position.

Absolute progamming mode(G90)

This is the programming mode where all the movement measures from Origin point.

Difference between absolute and incremental programming in CNC

Incremental Dimension

Absolute dimension

CNC Positioning System

• Point To point
• Continuous path(contouring)

Point to point Positioning

Positioning(tool/spindle/Bed) from one coordinate(X,Y) to another to perform operation like drilling,Boring,reaming,taping..etc.

Continuous path(contouring)

The cutting tool travel from one point to another in Contact with work piece .Example- Turning .Milling

Zero Point Setting

Zero point can be set by any one method.

• Operator
• Manually by program
• Work coordinate

What is work offset in CNC?

This is also called work coordinate.This method is used to set zero point of the machine.Example- G54 X_ Z_.This is for master tool only.For other tool we need to set the tool geometry.

How to set work offset in CNC?

Practical of Work offset setting.-Touch the tool tip on face of raw material/workpiece and go to work offset G54 and set the Z value 0.0.Again touch the tool tip on OD of the work piece and set the X value .That is OD value.

What is Tool geometry offset in CNC?

This is the work offset for individual tool.Work offset required for other tool to perform the different operation.

What is Tool wear offset in CNC?

This offset is used to compensate tool wear.For example if there is 0.1mm of material remain after finishing cut.Then we need to input -0.1 in tool wear section and again to run the finishing cut program to remove remain material.

Interpolation

This method is the movement of Cutting tool from one point to another.

• Linear
• Circular
• Helical
• Parabolic
• Cubic

Linear Interpolation(G00/G01)

In this method the cutting tool move in a straight line.

Circular Interpolation(G02/G03)

In this method the cutting tool moves as circle or arc.This is of two types.Clockwise and counter clockwise

Block(CNC information)

Its consists of 5 word written in Horizontal line.This is recognized by MCU((Machine control Unit).

How to cnc programming

Step-1 : DATUM SETTING

Example:-

Step-2 : ^{TOOL CALL}

Example;-

T1 D1;

Step-3 : Spindle/Chuck-RPM & Direction

Step-4 : Safety Distance

Bring the Tool to a Safety Distance

Step-5 : Main operation

Example:-Turning/Facing/Grooving/Chamfer/Radius

G01 X_ Y_;

Step-6 : Safety Distance

Return the tool to a safety distance.

Step-7 : Spindle /Program Stop

Example:- M05 M30;

CNC programming lathe

Before learning about cnc programming for lathe machine we should know about the Cartesian Coordinate system.From which we can find out the coordinate point for any work piece.We should also learn about WORK CO-ORDINATE,TOOL GEOMETRY,TOOL WEAR.

CNC programming Facing

Raw material size – Diamter-20,Lenght- Any. If we want facing for 2 mm.

G0 X21.0 Z0.5 ; – Safety distance(Tool will move to 21.0 point in X axis and 0.5 in z axis rapidly ).20.0 is the diameter of raw material and face of work piece is the Z0.0.Tool will stop at Z 0.5 which is the distance from face.This is the suitable safety distance for raw material.After this it will start facing.

G01 Z-1.0 F0.3; – Tool will move to Z -1.0 in feed (Feed you can change)

G01 X 0.0; – Tool will move to X0.0 in feed .This is the facing operation of tool.As the tool start removing material from Z-1.0 to X0.0.That means 1.0 mm of material remove from face of the work piece.

G01 Z0.5; Now tool will move to Z 0.5 in feed.

G00 X21.0; Tool will move rapidly move to X21.0. Next to perform another facing operation.

G01 Z-2.0; Tool will move to Z-2.0 so that it can remove another 1.0 mm material

G01 X0.0; Tool will remove 1.0 mm of material from face of the work piece in this movement.

Now we can again move the tool to Z 0.5 in feed and then X21.0 in rapid.We can use the facing cycle to perform the facing operation.There we have to set the dimension to face and feed.The facing cycle will remove the material as per your requirement.

Basic of CNC programming Turning

If the Raw material having diameter 20 and lenght 30. and we want to make it of diameter 18 upto lenght 15mm.

G00 Z3.0; – This is the safety distance for Z axis i.e tool will move rapidly and stop at Z3.0.Which is the distance from face.(As face of workpiece is taken Z0.0)

G00 X22.0; – This is the safety distance for X axis.

G01 X19.0; – The tool will move to 19 diameter in X axis in feed. .(This movement is for turning of 1mm i.e upto 19 diameter)

G01 Z-15; – This is the Turning operation.Tool will move from X19.0 to Z-15 with removing material.(Here you can turn ON the coolant)

G01 X22.0; – Tool will move to safety distance of x axis.

In this way you can turn another 1mm.This is the way for turning operation.
