Aims and objectives: To present a problematic of the technological preparation of
manufacturing process and NC machines programming. To approach the principle of tool
preparation for NC machines, automation tool exchange systems, their coding, tool store,
manipulation with workpiece. To provide the theoretical background of the automation
programming from the view of the processor structure, postprocessor structure etc. From the
practical view to enable for student the preparation of entering media – enter data for PC,
program debugging, simulation of program on PC, start-up of NC machines at the various
modes.
Course content:
1. Flexible automation of the mechanical engineering manufacturing and pre-manufacturing
stage.
2. Fundamentals of NC technology – basic components of an NC system, NC coordinate
systems, motion control systems.
3. Computer Numerical Control - features of CNC, CNC software, Direct Numerical Control.
4. Application of NC – machine tool applications, other NC application, advantages,
disadvantages, NC Part programming- coding systems.
5. Manual Part programming - Sequence of the operations, the block structure, the proposal of
technological process, tool setup, motion cycle of tools and technological conditions. The
programming of the motion path, technological parameters, tools exchange, their correction,
preliminary and auxiliary function, cycles.
6. Computer assisted part programming - preparation of the sources program, the structure of
the software, processor, and postprocessor. Essence, basic principles and differences of the
programming. Sample of the component parts manufacturing simulation on PC. APT –
Automatically Programmed Tool.
7. NC Part Programming using CAD/CAM - CAD/CAM system EdgeCAM and
Pro/ENGINEER. The geometry design definition, tool path generation, CL DATA files
generation, NC program, simulation of the manufacturing process on the PC.
