CNC Part Programming
CNC Part programming is a method of defining machine
tool movements through the application of numbers and
corresponding coded letter symbols.
PART Program contains all information for machining of a
component
Prepared by listing the coordinate values (X, Y, Z) for entire
tool paths as suited to machine the complete component.
Coordinate Values are prefixed with Preparatory Codes to
indicate the type of movement required (PTP, Straight, Circular)
Coordinates are suffixed with Miscellaneous codes for initiating
machine tool functions like start, stop, spindle movement etc.
Block of information - command for machine to execute.

What Programmer has to do?
Study relevant component drawing throughly
Identify the type of material to be machined
Determine specification and functions of the machine
Decide the dimension and mode - metric or inch
Decide coordinate system - Absolute / Incremental
Identify the plane of cutting
Determine the cutting parameters for the job/tool
combination
Decide the feed rate programming - mm/min or mm/rev
Establish sequence of machining operations

Structure of a Part Program
Basic unit of a part program input to the control is called
a Block (made up of words)
A block may contain any or all of the following:
Optional block skip
Sequence or block number (N)
Preparatory functions (G)
Dimensional information (X, Y, Z, etc.)
Feed rate (F)
Spindle speed (S)
Tool number (T)
Tool offset function (D)
Miscellaneous functions (M)
End of block (EOB)

G02/G03 Circular Interpolation
The interpolation parameters together with the axis commands determine the
circle or arc
KA determined by the previous block
KE fixed by axis value in plane of interpolation
KM determined by - a) through interpolation parameters
b) by specifying circle radius

G02/G03 Circular Interpolation
Using Interpolation Parameters
The Circle centre is determined through the interpolation parameters:
Vector I parallel to X axis Magnitude of I, J, K are
incremental distances
Vector J parallel to Y axis
from circle start point to
Vector K parallel to Z axis centre point

G02/G03 Circular Interpolation
By Specifying the Radius
Starting point determined by the previous block
End point given by axis values
Centre defined by the signed radius P
Sign of radius P is according
to the size of traversing angle
P+ : angle <= 180
P- : angle > 180
