 CNC Machines
• What is a CNC Machine?

• CNC : Computer and Numeric Control

• Conventionally, an operator decides and adjusts

various machines parameters like feed , depth of
cut etc depending on type of job , and controls
the slide movements by hand. In a CNC
Machine functions and slide movements are
controlled by motors using computer programs.
For a CNC machine control unit (MCU) decides cutting
speed, feed, depth of cut, tool selection , coolant on off
and tool paths. The MCU issues commands in form of
numeric data to motors that position slides and tool
accordingly.
 Overview
•A numerical control, or “NC”, system controls many machine
functions and movements which were traditionally performed
by skilled machinists.
•Numerical control developed out of the need to meet the
requirements of high production rates, uniformity and
consistent part quality.
•Programmed instructions are converted into output signals
which in turn control machine operations such as spindle
speeds, tool selection, tool movement, and cutting fluid flow.
 Overview
• By integrating a computer processor, computer
numerical control, or “CNC” as it is now known, allows
part machining programs to be edited and stored in the
computer memory as well as permitting diagnostics and
quality control functions during the actual machining.
• All CNC machining begins with a part program, which
is a sequential instructions or coded commands that
direct the specific machine functions.
• The part program may be manually generated or,
more commonly, generated by computer aided part
programming systems.
 Basic CNC Principles

All computer-controlled machines can accurately and repeatedly control

motion in various directions. Each of these directions of motion is called
an axis. Depending on the machine type there are commonly two to five
axes.
Additionally, a CNC axis may be either a linear axis in which movement
is in a straight line, or a rotary axis with motion following a circular
path.
 Motion control - the heart of CNC
•The most basic function of any CNC machine is automatic, precise, and
consistent motion control.

•Rather than applying completely mechanical devices to cause motion as

is required on most conventional machine tools, CNC machines allow
motion control in a revolutionary manner.

•All forms of CNC equipment have two or more directions of motion,

called axes. These axes can be precisely and automatically positioned
along their lengths of travel.

•The two most common axis types are linear (driven along a straight path)
and rotary (driven along a circular path).
Basic CNC Principles & Coordinates System

Absolute Coordinate System Incremental Coordinate System

 Basic CNC Principles
•Each axis consists of a mechanical component, such as a slide that
moves, a servo drive motor that powers the mechanical movement, and
a ball screw to transfer the power from the servo drive motor to the
mechanical component.
• These components, along with the computer controls that govern them,
are referred to as an axis drive system.
Basic CNC Principles
• Using a vertical mill
machining center as an
example, there are typically
three linear axes of motion.
Each is given an alphabetic
designation or address. The
machine table motion side to
side is called the “X” axis.
Table movement in and out
is the “Y” axis, while head
movement up and down the
column is the “Z” axis.
 Basic CNC Principles
If a rotary table is added to the machine table, then
the fourth axis is designated the “b” axis.
 Work Positioning
•The method of accurate work positioning in relation to the cutting tool is called the
“rectangular coordinate system.”
•On the vertical mill, the horizontal base line is designated the “X” axis, while the
vertical base line is designated the “Y” axis.
•The “Z” axis is at a right angle, perpendicular to both the “X” and “Y” axes.

•Increments for all base lines are specified in linear measurements, for most
machines the smallest increment is one ten-thousandth of an inch (.0001).
•If the machine is graduated in metric the smallest increment is usually one
thousandth of a millimeter (.001mm).

•The rectangular coordinate system allows the mathematical plotting of points in

space. These points or locations are called “coordinates.” The coordinates in turn
relate to the tool center and dictate the “tool path” through the work.
Basic CNC Principles
CNC Machines-
Advantages/Disadvantages
Advantages:
• High Repeatability and Precision e.g. Aircraft parts
• Volume of production is very high
• Complex contours/surfaces need to be machined. E.g. Turbines
• Flexibility in job change, automatic tool settings, less scrap
• More safe, higher productivity, better quality
• Less paper work, faster prototype production, reduction in lead times

Disadvantages:
• Costly setup, skilled operators
• Computers, programming knowledge required
• Maintenance is difficult
Types of Machine
• Lathes for metal and plastics
• Used to produce 3D product shapes and moulds for plastic products.
• Milling machine for mould making and surface milling.
• Used to produce dies for
die cutting printed products.
CNC Lathe

• Automated version of a manual lathe.

• Programmed to change tools automatically.
• Used for turning and boring wood, metal and plastic.
CNC Milling Machine
• Has 3 to 5 axes.
• Used for wood, metal and plastic.
• Used to make 3D prototypes, moulds, cutting dies, printing plates and
signs.
How CNC Works
• Controlled by G and M codes.
• These are number values and co-ordinates.
• Each number or code is assigned to a particular operation.
• Typed in manually to CAD by machine operators.
• G&M codes are automatically generated by the computer software.
Features of CNC Machinery
• The tool or material moves.
• Tools can operate in 1-5 axes.
• Larger machines have a machine control unit (MCU)
which manages operations.
• Movement is controlled by a motors (actuators).
• Feedback is provided by sensors (transducers)
• Tool magazines are used to change tools
automatically.
Tools
• Most are made from
high speed steel (HSS),
tungsten carbide or ceramics.
• Tools are designed to direct waste away from the material.
• Some tools need coolant such as oil to protect the tool and work.
Tool Paths, Cutting
and Plotting Motions
• Tool paths describes the route the cutting tool takes.
• Motion can be described as point to point, straight cutting or
contouring.
• Speeds are the rate at which the tool operates e.g. rpm.
• Feeds are the rate at which the cutting tool and work piece
move in relation to each other.
• Feeds and speeds are determined by cutting depth, material
and quality of finish needed. e.g. harder materials need slower
feeds and speeds.
• Rouging cuts remove larger amounts of material than finishing
cuts.
• Rapid traversing allows the tool or work piece to move rapidly
when no machining is taking place.
Point to Point and Tool Paths
CNC Programming Basics

• CNC instructions are called part program commands.

• When running, a part program is interpreted one command

line at a time until all lines are completed.

• Commands, which are also referred to as blocks, are made up

of words which each begin with a letter address and end with a
numerical value.
CNC Programming Basics

• Each letter address relates to a specific machine function. “G”

and “M” letter addresses are two of the most common. A “G”
letter specifies certain machine preparations such as inch or
metric modes, or absolutes versus incremental modes.

• A “M” letter specifies miscellaneous machine functions and

work like on/off switches for coolant flow, tool changing, or
spindle rotation. Other letter addresses are used to direct a
wide variety of other machine commands.

 Program Command Parameters

Optimum machine programming requires consideration of certain machine operating parameters including:
• Positioning control
• Compensations
• Special machine features

Positioning control is the ability to program tool and machine slide movement simultaneously along two or
more axes.

Positioning may be for point-to-point movement or for contouring movement along a continuous path.
Contouring requires tool movement along multiple axes simultaneously.

This movement is referred to as “Interpolation” which is the process of calculating intermediate values
between specific points along a programmed path and outputting those values as a precise motion.
Interpolation may be linear having just a start and end point along a straight line, or circular which requires
an end point, a center and a direction around the arc.
Rules for programming

Block Format

N135 G01 X1.0 Y1.0 Z0.125 F5

Sample Block
• Restrictions on CNC blocks
• Each may contain only one tool move
• Each may contain any number of non-tool move G-codes
• Each may contain only one feed rate
• Each may contain only one specified tool or spindle speed
• The block numbers should be sequential
• Both the program start flag and the program number must be
independent of all other commands (on separate lines)
• The data within a block should follow the sequence shown
in the above sample block
 CAD/CAM
Two computer-based systems which impact the use of CNC technology are computer aided design and
computer aided manufacturing.

A computer aided design, or CAD, system uses computers to graphically create product designs and
models.
These designs can be reviewed, revised, and refined for optimum end use and application. Once finalized,
the CAD design is then exported to a computer aided manufacturing, or CAM, system.

CAM systems assist in all phases of manufacturing a product, including process planning, production
planning, machining, scheduling, management and quality control.
