Experiment no 7

Draw a circle with CNC programming and perform experiment to construct the circle with CNC
milling machine.

Apparatus:
 CNC milling machine
 Workpiece material (paper)
 Drawing tool (pencil)
 Computer with CNC programming software

Theory:
CNC (introduction):
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a manufacturing process that involves the use of
computer software to control the movement and operation of machine tools. CNC milling
is a common application of this technology used to produce precise and complex shapes
on various materials such as metals, plastics, and wood. In this experiment, we will
demonstrate how to draw and construct a circle using CNC programming and a milling
machine.

Types of CNC Milling Machine :


 Vertical machining center (VMC): This type of machine has a vertical
spindle that is used to hold and rotate the cutting tool. The workpiece is held in a
fixed position on the table, and the cutting tool is lowered onto the workpiece to
remove material. VMCs are commonly used for producing parts with complex
shapes and features.
 Horizontal machining center (HMC): This type of machine has a
horizontal spindle that is used to hold and rotate the cutting tool. The workpiece is
held on a rotating table that can be moved in different directions to allow for
precise cuts. HMCs are commonly used for producing large parts and for high-
volume production runs.
 5-axis machining center: This type of machine has a rotary table and a tilting
head that allows for cutting in five different directions. This allows for greater
flexibility in producing complex shapes and features.
 Gantry/moving column milling machine: This type of machine has a
large frame that houses the cutting head and the worktable. The cutting head can
move along the X, Y, and Z axes, while the worktable remains stationary. This
design allows for the production of large and heavy parts.
 Desktop milling machine: This type of machine is smaller and more
compact than other types of CNC milling machines, and is designed for use in
small workshops and home settings. It can be used to produce small parts and
prototypes.
 Swiss-type CNC milling machine: This type of machine is designed for
producing small, precise parts with high accuracy. It uses a sliding headstock that
moves along the Z-axis to hold and rotate the workpiece, while the cutting tool
moves along the X and Y axes.

USES:
1. The G-code language is widely used in the CNC industry and provides a standardized
method of programming CNC machines.
2. The circular interpolation command is a useful tool for creating circular shapes,
which are commonly used in many industries.
3. CNC milling machines can be used to produce a wide range of shapes and parts, from
simple circles to complex three-dimensional objects.

Procedure:
1. Design the circle in CAD software and generate the G-code program for the CNC
milling machine.
2. Load the workpiece material onto the milling machine's bed and secure it in place.
3. Set the origin point (0,0) for the workpiece material on the CNC milling machine.
4. Load the G-code program into the CNC milling machine's control software.
5. Turn on the milling machine and execute the G-code program to begin
milling the circle.
6. Once the milling process is complete, remove the workpiece material from the machine.
7. Inspect the circle for accuracy and measure its dimensions with a caliper or other
measuring tool.

Result:

Comments:
1. CAD software is commonly used in the design of parts and components for CNC milling.
2. It is important to securely fasten the workpiece material to the milling machine to prevent
movement or damage during the milling process.
3. The origin point is a critical reference point for CNC milling and must be set accurately
to ensure proper part alignment and positioning.
4. It is important to inspect the resulting circle for accuracy and measure its dimensions to
ensure that it meets the desired specifications.
