NC TECHNOLOGY
1.1 Numerical Control (NC):

MANUAL

Department of Mechanical
Engineering

It is the acronym for Numerical Control. Numerical Control refers to the use of coded
numerical information in the automatic control of equipment. NC can be defined as a kind of
programmable automation in which the process is controlled by numbers, letters & symbols. The
numbers letters & symbols are arranged as a program of instructions for a particular job. Such a
program is called a part program.
NC can be applied to various operations in engineering, like drafting, machining, assembly,
inspection, etc. The main area of NC application is metal machining operations.
1.2 Basic Components of an NC System:
An NC system consists of three basic components.
1. Program of instructions
2. Machine control unit
3. Machine tool
PROGRAM OF
INSTRUCTIONS

MACHINE
CONTROL UNIT

MACHINE TOOL

Above Figure shows the block diagram of an NC machine. The program of instructions sends
commands to the Machine Control Unit, which in turn controls the machine tool.
1.3 NC Coordinate systems:
The relative movement of the machine tool spindle & worktable is due to the individual slides
being operated by instructions from the part program.
Normally, three slides are required in a NC machine tool.

Longitudinal

Vertical

Transverse

The position and direction of movement of each slide is given by the right hand coordinate
system. Here we have three axes X, Y & Z mutually perpendicular to each other.
Position of axes: Usually the Z axis is located (positioned) along the machine tool spindle. The
X axis is positioned parallel to the machine worktable and perpendicular to the Z axis. The Y
axis is perpendicular to both Z & X axis.

Direction of axes: If the movement of the slide is such that the tool moves away from the work
piece, the direction of that slide axis is positive (+ ve). Similarly, if the movement of the slide is
such that the tool moves nearer to or into the work piece, the direction of that slide axis is
negative ( - ve).
Zero points & Reference points:
The accurate position of the machine tool slides with the machine tool is established by the Zero
Point. The Zero Points may be (a) Machine Zero Point & (b) Work Zero Point.
Machine Zero Point is specified by the manufacturer of the machine. This is the zero point for
the coordinate systems and other reference points in the machine.
Workpiece Zero Point determines the workpiece coordinate system in relation to the machine
zero point. This point is chosen by the programmer, and input into the CNC system when setting
up the machine. The position of this point can be freely chosen by the programmer within the
workpiece envelope of the machine. Its position is chosen such that the dimensions in the
workpiece drawing can be conveniently converted into coordinate values and also to effectively
take care about the clamping/chucking, setting up, etc.
Reference Point or Home Position serves for calibrating and controlling the measuring systems
of the slides and tool traverses. The position of the reference point is accurately predetermined in
every traverse axis by the trip dogs and the limit switches. Therefore the reference point
coordinates always have the same precisely known numerical values in relation to the machine
zero point. After initiating the control system, the reference point must always be approached
from all axes to calibrate the traverse measuring system.
Dimension System: Dimensional information in the work piece drawing can be stated in 2
methods Absolute Dimensioning & Incremental Dimensioning.
In Absolute dimensioning, the coordinate data are taken with respect to a fixed reference point on
the workpiece drawing (usually the workpiece zero).
In Incremental Dimensioning, the coordinate data are taken with respect to the previous
coordinate value. i.e., every coordinate programmed will be the origin for the next coordinate to
be programmed.
1.4 NC & CNC: During the early period of NC technology, most of the control activities in the
controller were performed by electronic hardware devices like diode valves. The electronics
consisted of many mechanical devices which frequently posed problems of non-contact. The
machine tools and processes then controlled by such controllers were called as NC Machines.
With the improvement of technology and with the evolution of integrated circuits mechanical3

MANUAL

Engineering

problems with electronic devices were solved. Also with the very fast development of computers,
almost all the control activities, performed by the hardware of the controller unit, could then be
tackled by software (programs). The machine tools and processes presently being controlled by
powerful computers is termed as CNC Machines. CNC is the acronym for Computer Numerical
Control.
1.5 CNC Part Program:
It consists of a set of properly arranged sequence of instructions which when executed
initiates the controller to send various signals to different machine tool drives in accordance with
the program sequence so as to perform the desired work/job.
The CNC program (also called as the CNC part program) is made up of number of lines of
instructions. Each line of instruction is called a Block. Each Block in turn consists of a few
alpha-numeric words called as CNC Words
Figure here shows a sample part program depicting the Blocks and CNC Words.
Also, it may be noted that each CNC word starts
with a Word Address (upper-case alphabet) followed
by a numeric data.
Such a CNC program format is called Word
Address Format.

CNC Words: The different types of CNC words


used in CNC programming are as follows.
a) Sequence Number (N-word): It is used to identify a block.
b) Preparatory function word (G-code): This command prepares the machine controller to
follow a given instruction. E.g. G00 stands for Rapid Movement (point-to-point position)
c) Coordinate Data(X, Y & Z words): These words specify the coordinate position of the
cutting tool. E.g. X15, Y-40, Z-2
Coordinate Data may also contain the I, J & K words which specify the coordinate values
of the arc. I, J & K values are also called as the interpolation parameters.
d) Arc Radius (R-word): Instead of programming the interpolation parameters (arc-centercoordinates) I, J & K, the arc radius can be programmed using the R-word.

Engineering

e) Feed Rate (F-word): These words specify the feed rate of the tool in a machining
operation. It is usually expressed in mm/min. E.g. F30
f) Cutting Speed (S-word): These words specify the cutting speed of the tool/spindle
rotation in RPM. E.g. S1200
g) Tool Selection (T-word): This command is used to access a required tool from a tool
turret or an automatic tool changer. This command is usually used in CNC machines with
Automatic Tool Changing facility. E.g. T10 may specify that a 10 mm drill must be
selected from position number 10 of a tool magazine (holder).
h) Miscellaneous Functions (M-code): These are used to specify certain miscellaneous or
auxiliary functions (coolant on, coolant off, spindle on CW/CCW, spindle stop, etc)
available on the given machine.

Note: Incremental program is easy to program but tedious to change values in between. Error
committed in any block is carried over to the consecutive blocks. Whereas, absolute
programming is a bit inconvenient as all coordinates are measured from a fixed point. Error
committed in any block will affect only that block. Consecutive blocks are not affected.

1.12 Subprogram:
A CNC program is divided into a main program & a subprogram. Normally the CNC operates
according to the main program but when a command calling a subprogram is encountered in the
main program, control is passed to the subprogram. When a command indicating a return to the
main program is encountered in the subprogram, control is returned to the main program. The
first block of the main program & sub program must contain a program number starting with
letter O.
Use of subprogram: When a program contains certain fixed sequences or frequently repeated
patterns, these sequences or patterns can be entered into the memory as a subprogram to simplify
programming. If a subprogram can call another subprogram, it is regarded as a one loop sub
program call.

2. INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING, PROGRAMS ON MILLING


CNC MLL
In CNC Mill we have 3 axes X axis (along length), Y axis (along breadth) & Z axis (along
thickness). The position of the Z axis is along the spindle axis and it is +ve in a direction
away from the workpiece. The position of the X & Y axis is parallel to and on the worktable.
X axis is along the length and Y axis is along the breadth of the table. X and Y axes are +ve
in directions moving away from the workpiece.

2.1 Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): It is a facility or device provided on the CNC Mill for
automatically indexing the tool magazine and making the required tool change as indicated in
the CNC program.
2.2 Automatic Pallet Changer (APC): It is a time saving facility provided on the CNC Mill
for automatically loading and unloading the pallets. Pallets are portable work holding
devices. While a loaded pallet is being used, a machined-component may be unloaded from
the pallet and a to-be-machined workpiece may be loaded on to the pallet.
2.3 Dimensional Notations used in CNC Mill are:

2.4 Programming Method - Absolute & Incremental Programming:


Absolute programming is specified by the G code G90 and incremental programming by
G91. In absolute programming, coordinate values are measured from the program zero point.
In incremental programming, the coordinate values are measured from the previous
programmed point

Note: Incremental program is easy to program but tedious to change values in between. Error
committed in any block is carried over to the consecutive blocks. Whereas, absolute
programming is a bit inconvenient as all coordinates are measured from a fixed point. Error
committed in any block will affect only that block. Consecutive blocks are not affected.

2.7 Subprogram:
A CNC program is divided into a main program & a subprogram. Normally the CNC operates
according to the main program but when a command calling a subprogram is encountered in
the main program, control is passed to the subprogram. When a command indicating a return
to the main program is encountered in the subprogram, control is returned to the main

program. The first block of the main program & sub program must contain a program number
starting with letter O.
Use of subprogram: When a program contains certain fixed sequences or frequently
repeated patterns, these sequences or patterns can be entered into the memory as a
subprogram to simplify programming. If a subprogram can call another subprogram, it is
regarded as a one loop sub program call.

2.12 Mirroring: If symmetrical contours (symmetry about X axis only, symmetry about Y
axis only OR simultaneous symmetry about both X & Y axes) are to be machined on a
component, the mirroring feature in CNC programming can be selected to ease the task of
programming. Here, part program (usually a sub-program) is written only for one of the
contours of the symmetric pair. Part program for the other part of the pair can be appended by
just selecting the Mirror On feature.
M codes that are used for selecting the Mirror On feature are:
M70

X Mirror ON means all future X coordinates programmed


are taken with ve values.

M71

Y Mirror ON means all future Y coordinates programmed


are taken with ve values.
M80

X Mirror OFF

to cancle X Mirroring

M81

Y Mirror OFF

to cancle Y Mirroring

Note: (1) Simultaneous mirroring of X & Y values is possible by programming both M70 &
M71.
(2) Mirroring changes the CW arc tool movement to CCW and vice-versa. In other
words, G02 becomes G03 and G03 becomes G02

6. DEFINITIONS OF FMS AND ASRS


6.1 Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)
An FMS can be defined as an integrated computer controlled configuration of NC machine
tools, other auxiliary production equipments, and a material handling system designed to
simultaneously manufacture low to medium volumes of a wide variety of high quality
products at low cost. An FMS is capable of processing a variety of different part styles
simultaneously at various workstations, the mix of part styles and quantities of production
can be adjusted in response to changing demand patterns. FMS is the most automated and
technologically sophisticated Group Technology cell. FMS is designed to produce parts (or
products) within a defined range of styles, sizes and processes. A typical FMS is shown in the
below illustration.

MC1- Machining center 1


MC2- Machining center 2

6.2 Automatic storage and Retrieval system


An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) can be defined as a storage system that
performs storage and retrieval operations with speed and accuracy under a defined degree of
automation. The performance of any manufacturing industry depends mostly on its material
handling and storage system. Generally, ASRS refers to a variety of computer-controlled
methods for automatically depositing and retrieving loads to and from defined storage
locations. Within an automated storage system environment, there are having several layouts
such as horizontal carousels, rotary carousels ,vertical carousels, vertical lift modules, and
fixed aisle storage and retrieval systems. A typical rotary carousels ASRS is show below.
