Study to Determine the Optimum Method in Writing a CNC Milling Program for a Specific Product
ABSTRACT: The trend towards
automation of production equipment is having great demands from people. Since
the early 1970s, manufacturers have worked to increase productivity, quality,
process capability, reliability and flexibility. They used technologies to
improve quality and productivity. This study studies the differences of a few
CNC milling program – relating to time scale and machining accuracy. For
experiment, a fewprograms are being written to machining a simple product. Each
program has its ownfeatures. By running all the written programs, the
effectiveness and goodness of eachprogram could be analyzed. On the other hand,
by machining the product and testing them, the product accuracy also can be
analyzed. The results show that, the number ofcommand lines will affect the
simulation time. More command lines in the program willneed more time in
running the simulation. Besides that, results show that using the Canned Cycle
command will give a more accurate machining compared to thoseconventional and
CAD/CAM method
