AIM: To write the CNC program for milling operation and simulate it on sinumerik 808D
MCU.
OBJECTIVE:
❖ To know how to use G codes and M codes in part programming.
❖ To know how to operate the MCU of the CNC machine.
❖ To know how to write a CNC program for given operation and specimen.
❖ To know how to select and create a new tool for CNC operation.
INTRODUCTION:
Milling: Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by
advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying direction on one or several
axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. It is a process performed with a machine in which the
cutters rotate to remove the material from the work piece present in the direction of the angle
with the tool axis.
PROCEDURE:
• In Sinumerik 808D, click start button to start machine or create a new template or
machine for the required operation.
• After creating it, click the start button.
• Select Reference button, press x and z buttons to the machine reference point
i.e., to bring machine to zero position.
• Now keep some feed and spindle speed on the machine by using the knob.
• Now select the JOG mode for next operation and click on offset, select the existing
tool or create a new tool with required dimension and number it and press input.
• Now select T, S, M button and give the required tool change number, spindle speed in
rpm and spindle rotation by using select button.
• After entering all the T, S, M details press the cycle start button to change the tool.
• Now, select meas tool and give the work piece dimensions like x and z dimensions
and press input.
• Now click on program manager and select new to create a file with the required name
in MPF format.
• Then select the file and press input and the file gets opened and write the program for
the operation there. Write the part program using different G and M codes.
• T- Tool number designation, x and z are used to give coordinates.
• After that execute the program, click on auto and simulate to show the operation. The
material has to be given to show the actual material removal stock.
• For this, in execution window – more- material removal-diameter-length of work
piece – ok.
• Press simulation and press cycle start to generate the simulation of the given
operation.
Conclusion:
Hence the program for milling is written by using different G and M codes and executed it on
sinumerik MCU. The real simulation is also generated by using it and understood the
working of it. Also learnt about the significance of G and M Codes in the part program.
