METHODS OF NC PART PROGRAMMING
1. Manual part programming
2. Computer assisted part programming
3. Manual data input
4. NC programming using CAD/CAM
5. Computer automated part programming
Manual part programming:
The processing instructions are documented on a
form called a part program manuscript.

The manuscript is a listing of the positions of the


tool relative to the workpiece that the machine must
follow in order to perform the processing.

The listing may also include other commands such as


speeds, feeds, tooling, and so on.

A punched tape is then prepared directly from the


manuscript.
Computer-assisted part programming,
The programmer prepares the set of processing
instructions in a high-level computer language.

For complex jobs, this computer language is much


easier to use than the lower-level coding required in
manual part programming.

The high-level language commands are interpreted


by the computer, and the required calculations and
data processing are accomplished to prepare the NC
program for the tape reader (or other input device).
Manual data input (MDI) :

The NC program is entered directly into the


MCU at the site of the processing machine.

The use of the punched tape is avoided.

The programming procedure is simplified to


permit machine operators rather than part
programmers to do the programming.
NC part programming using CAD/CAM
An advanced form of computer-assisted part
programming in which an interactive graphics system
equipped with NC programming software is used to
facilitate the part programming task.

The term CAD/CAM means computer-aided design


and computer-aided manufacturing.

In this method the programmer works on a


CAD/CAM workstation to enter the machining
commands.
The actions indicated by the commands are
displayed on the graphics monitor, which provides
visual feedback to the programmer.

Also, certain portions of the programming cycle are


automated by the NC programming software to
reduce the total programming time required.
5. Computer automated part programming

It automates the complete part programming task


using software that is capable of making logical
and even quasi intelligent decisions about how
the part should be machined.

Tape Programming Format

Word Address Format


This format is used by most of the NC machines, also
called variable block format. A typical instruction
block will be as below :

N20 G00 X1.200 Y.100 F325 S1000 T03 M09


Tab Sequential Format
Here the alphabets are replaced by a Tab code, which
is inserted between two words.

The MCU reads the first Tab and stores the data in the
first location then the second word is recognized by
reading the record Tab

>20 >00 >1.200 >.100 >325 >1000 >03 >09


Fixed Block Format
In fixed block format no letter address of Tab code are
used and none of words can be omitted.

The main advantage of this format is that the whole


instruction block can be read at the same instant,
instead of reading character by character.

This format can only be used for positioning work


only.
