Complex NC programs
4.7.3 Exercise 8: Contact plate
The contact plate on the drawing is to be produced on a CNC vertical milling machine from a blank of AlMg1
dimensioned 100 x 100 x 25 mm. Prepare, test and correct the manufacturing process with the MTS CNC
Milling Simulator. Define the workpart zero, work out the process layout, set-up form and NC program.
