To make a progoutm in VMC you have to knowledge about G code and M code, which i describe in my previous post. We are starting from one example. Generally many VMC holders are using a CAM software for programming. It is very easy to use. The users of CAM software does not need knowledge G code and M Code. These are only for learning a manual program by typing a code and this is a actual program what you need.
For example we are taking a rectangular type pattern.
There are a four points in picture.
A (X0 Y0)
B (X100 Y0)
C (X100 Y100)
D (X0 Y100)
Now i want to travel my tool from A-B-C-D-A , So the program will be such a way
Suppose my tool position is at point A and this is planer so i will take Z=0.
Line 1: Tool will go to home position in Z axis (for safety) this line is necessary in my case because whenever machine operator starts the program, the tool is first go to Z home position in Rapid . It prevents an accident.
Line 2: Tool will go to X0 Y0 of G54 work coordinate and spindle start at 2000 RPM(Revolution per minute)
Note: As long as you do not give any other action, it remains in the previous state
Line 3: Tool will go Z5 in rapid because we still not defined any other feed
Line 4: Tool Reach Z0 at feed 200 mm/min. at X0 Y0
Line 5: Tool will go to the Point B X100 (Y is 0 from line 2)
Line 6: Tool will go to the Point C Y00 (X is 100 from line 5)
Line 7: Tool will go to the Point D X0 (Y is 100 from line 6)
Line 8: Tool will go to the Point A Y0 (X is 0 from line 7)
Line 9: Tool will go Z5 (safety distance)
Line 10: Tool will go to home position in Z axis
Line 11: Spindle Stop.
Line 12: Program End.
Here, you can view the simulation of program.
If any suggestion regrading this post, Please reply in comment section. I will explain all VMC program with actual cutting parameter
