Just as numerical control of the 1960s had much room for growth, so do the additive manufacturing machines of today.
CNC machines allow users to include clarifying messages within the G code, which can be an easy way to communicate with other operators.
Manufacturers can easily train new CNC users by simplifying tasks. Learn how to simplify CNC tasks for new hires in this CNC Tech Talk.
While G65 does not enable users to simply and easily carry out Custom Macros in multiple locations, G66 and G66.1 provide modal solutions for doing so.
While CNC machining and turning systems of the past only had resolutions and least input increments equal to the displayed decimal places, new systems support more precise inputs.
Using “vacant” local variables enables CNC machinists to create custom macros that can target multiple types of machining work.
While it is possible to calculate by hand adjustments to feed rate for circular milling operations, cutter radius compensation CNC programs streamline this process.
Maintaining a constant feed rate between linear and circular milling easily leads to chatter — for most applications, increase feed rate on external arcs and decrease it for internal.
Precisely placing jaws on three-jaw chucks for CNC turning machines is difficult, but a laser pointer and clever programming can ease the issue.
