Second edition. Revised and updated (January 2021). With free graphic simulation software, upgrade of procedures and images. This book is designed for students and teachers who are looking for a programming course in combination with a graphic simulation software. The course is based on the understanding of the ‘ISO Standard’ functions, i.e. the programming language at the basis of all numeric controls. The training and simulating software faithfully replicates a real numeric control on your computer. This course comprises chapters and paragraphs for both theoretical and practical learning. Paragraphs on theory contain drawings and diagrams that simplify the understanding of the text. The first practical experiences consist in the utilization of pre-drafted programs, which are useful to the participant’s initial understanding of the numeric control and its potential. Later you will learn how to write new programs with difficulty levels that are commensurate to the acquired experience. During the practical exercises the reader is constantly guided by the respective operating procedures. The learning method has been developed so that even beginners may complete the course and understand all the most complex functions and programming methods. Periodical tests are offered in order to help the students and teachers assess progress achieved or to highlight the topics for review. This is a fifty-hour course. The total number of hours necessary for the understanding of the theoretical part and for carrying out the practical exercises will always be specified at the beginning of each chapter. The course is centered on a three-axis lathe (X, Z, C) with driven tools, then the concepts applied to the programming of the lathe will be used to program a three-axis vertical mill (X, Y, Z). All the programs used during the explanations and the collection of the images contained in the book, which may be printed, viewed or displayed during the course at home or in the classroom may be downloaded from the website cncwebschool.com. Finally the book contains a list of technical terms and their translation from English into Italian and German.

By the end of the book, you will be able to develop highly efficient programs that exploit the full potential of CNC machines. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Variables and expressions Types of variables--local, global, macro, and system variables Macro functions, including trigonometric, rounding, logical, and conversion functions Branches and loops Subprograms Macro call Complex motion generation Parametric programming Custom canned cycles Probing Communication with external devices Programmable data entry
This is the book and the ebook combo product. Over its first two editions, this best-selling book has become the de facto standard for training and reference material at all levels of CNC programming. Used in hundreds of educational institutions around the world as the primary text for CNC courses, and used daily by many in-field CNC programmers and machine operators, this book literally defines CNC programming. Written with careful attention to detail, there are no compromises. Many of the changes in this new Third Edition are the direct result of comments and suggestions received from many CNC professionals in the field. This extraordinarily comprehensive work continues to be packed with over one thousand illustrations, tables, formulas, tips, shortcuts, and practical examples. The enclosed CD-ROM now contains a fully functional 15-day shareware version of CNC tool path editor/simulator, NCPlot(TM). This powerful, easy-to-learn software includes an amazing array of features, many not found in competitive products. NCPlot offers an unmatched combination of simplicity of use and richness of features. Support for many advanced control options is standard, including a macro interpreter that simulates Fanuc and similar macro programs. The CD-ROM also offers many training exercises based on individual chapters, along with solutions and detailed explanations. Special programming and machining examples are provided as well, in form of complete machine files, useful as actual programming resources. Virtually all files use Adobe PDF format and are set to high resolution printing.
