What Is Manual Part Programming
Part Programming?
Manual part programming involves
creating instructions for CNC
machines using a specialized
programming language, known as G-
code. It's a hands-on approach that
offers precise control over every
aspect of the machining process.
Understanding G-code
and M-code
1 G-code 2 M-code
G-code defines the M-code controls
machine's movements, auxiliary machine
such as linear functions, like spindle
interpolation, circular speed, coolant
interpolation, and tool activation, and
changes. program start/stop.
3 Syntax
Both codes use a specific syntax with letters,
numbers, and punctuation marks to represent
various commands.
Key Components of Manual Part Programming
1 Design
The first step is to design the part using CAD software.
2 Programming
The next step is to program the CNC machine using G-code and M
3 Simulation
Before machining, the program is
simulated to check for errors and optimize
tool paths.
4 Machining
The CNC machine executes the program
to cut and shape the material according
to the design.
