    Description of the machines and system used.

    CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a subtractive manufacturing technology: parts


    are created by removing material from a solid block called either work piece or blank using variety of
    cutting tools. The basic CNC process can be broken down into 3 steps. Design the cad model of the
    parts, making the CN C program (G-code) and sets up the machine. There are two main type of CNC
    machining systems: Milling and turning. Each is better suited for manufacturing different
    geometries.

    Components of CNC systems

    In this experiment, we are learnt how does a CNC machine works and interpret the G code.
    G-code is the command system for the CNC machine. The main aim this CNC laboratory is to help to
    understand how to use G-code programming to manufacturing of small components on CNC
    machine. 10” Vertical Milling Machine with CNC control is used for this purpose. The CNC milling
    machine is normally running with a spindle speed of 70-2800 rpm with a feed range of 0-200
    mm/minute.

    The Glass work piece is clamped at the position manually with help of Allen key. The centre
    of work piece is set as origin of the CNC Drill tool and system executes G-code to run the program.
    NC software is used to load the program and check for the path of cutting with respect to workpiece
    before actual feeding occurs.

    Structure of the program


    The CNC programs list instructions to be performed in the order they are written. The CNC
    programming is based on the G90 Code with absolute coordinate parameter for the milling purpose.
    Each sentence in a CNC program is written on separate line called a Block.

    The Common G Code using for all CNC operation as follows:

    Table 2 Basic codes of Program


    G Code Purpose
    G00 Rapid Positioning Motion (X,Y,Z,A,B)
    G01 Linear Interpolation Motion (X,Y,Z,A,B,F)
    G02 Circular Interpolation Motion CW (X,Y,Z,A,I,J,K,R,F)-Arc Movement Clockwise
    G03 Circular Interpolation Motion CCW (X,Y,Z,A,I,J,K,R,F) –Arc Movement Anti-clockwise
    F Feed Rate
    G21 Metric Coordinate Positioning
    G17 Circular Motion XY Plane Selection (G02 or G03)
    M30 Program End and Reset
    F80 Fed rate is 80mm/rev for Roughing process

    Student number: 5641391 were selected which was an odd number. Hence Machine
    operation was performed in the counter clockwise direction started from right side. The initial
    distance was calculated as follows.
    28+ (0.15*91) = 41.65. So Starting distance was selected as half of total length to be cut.

    Hence Starting distance = 41.65/2 = 20.825mm.

     The tool used in 6mm Diameter in CNC. We programmed the coordinate of machine points
    accordingly.
     The CNC operation is done on Perspex slab with 3 mm depth.

    Accuracy and surface quality of the components produced


    The theoretical dimension and the dimension which took after the machine operation with
    help of Vernier calliper are mentioned in the figure below:

    Technically, the machined work piece must be exactly same as given dimension. There is no machine
    tool that can cut perfect pocket. Small roughness found on the edges of the cavity. And minor
    marking of the tool pieces resulted in the pocket especially in the centre. Minute chipping is seen
    with naked eyes on the edges.

    Relevance and usefulness of this laboratory exercise and suggestions


    for improvement
    CNC machines are a vital part of today’s manufacturing industry in world wide. All
    conventional tool operation is automated using computer aided programs and Computer aided
    designs. Advantages of NC systems over manual methods of production are better control of the tool
    motion under optimum cutting conditions, Improved part quality and repeatability, Reduced time to
    manufacture parts, Reduced scarp, Reduced tooling costs, tool wear and job set time, Better
    production planning and placement of machining operation in the hand of engineering. We are
    engineers, so we must know the how the CNC machine is working. This laboratory exercise helped us
    to learn more about CNC coding, CNC program, Error debugging, working of CNC machine. On other
    hand; we got general idea about parts pf CNC machines by machining a part, so we clearly
    understood the movement of cutter and how to set the work piece using gauge without touching
    the workpiece.
