Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker (ACET)
2. MEANING OF CAM
“Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is
an application technology that uses
computer software and machinery to
facilitate and automate manufacturing
processes”
CAM is the successor of computer-aided
engineering (CAE) and is often used in
tandem with computer-aided design (CAD).
Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker
(ACET)
3. MEANING OF CAM
“Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is
the use of software to control machine tools
and related ones in the manufacturing of
work-pieces.”
To the use of a computer to assist in all
operations of a manufacturing plant,
including planning, management,
transportation and storage.
Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker
(ACET)
4. OBJECTIVE OF CAM
The use of computers to guide the working
of the industrial processes is known as
computer aided manufacturing or CAM.
Any factory can be made highly automated
by deploying real time systems and
robotics.
The purpose of CAM is to ensure that the
error rate is decreased, uniformity of
products is high and precision in the
processes can be achieved.

(ACET)
5. OBJECTIVE OF CAM : Continue
For example, the packaging of meat and
related products is fully done by automated
plants from the slaughter of the animal to
the final product. This has also reduced the
labor cost and other operating overheads.
The processes are now fully automated that
they can replace the tools and switch to the
successive processes on their own.

(ACET)
6. SCOPE OF CAM
Integrated CAD/CAM/CAE Software like
Pro/Engineer, I-DEAS & CATIA help
manufacturers optimize product concept early
in Design process, enabling them to
significantly improve product quality, while
reducing product development time and cost.
Moreover people having 3D CAD/CAM/CAE
knowledge have better chances of growth,
immediate employability after completion of
course, graduation and chances of jobs abroad.

8. NC CONTROLS
Numerical control (NC) is the technique of
giving instructions to a machine in the form
of a code which consists of numbers, letters
of the alphabet, punctuation marks and
certain other symbols.
Controlling a machine tool by means of a
prepared program is known as numerical
control.
Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker
(ACET)
9. NC CONTROLS : Continue
“A system in which actions are controlled
by the direct insertion of numerical data at
some point. The system must automatically
interpret at least some portion of this data”
Instructions are supplied to the machine as
blocks of information. A block of
information commands sufficient to enable
the machine to carry out one individual
machining operation. Each block is given a
sequence number for identification.
Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker
(ACET)
10. NC CONTROLS : Continue
A set of instructions forms an NC program.
“When the instructions are organized in a logical
manner they direct the machine tool to carry out a
specific task. It is thus termed as part program”
The numerical data which is required for producing a
part is maintained on a punched tape and is called the
part program.
The part program is arranged in the form of blocks of
information, where each block contains the numerical
data required to produce one segment of the work
piece. The punched tape is moved forward by one
block each time the cutting of a segment is
completed.
Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker
(ACET)
11. NC CONTROLS : Continue
Part programs are written manually or by
using a computer-aided language, such as
Automated Program Tool (APT).
Preparing the part program for a NC
machine tool requires a part programmer.
The part programmer must possess
knowledge and experience of tools, cutting
fluids, machinability data and fixture
design techniques.
Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker
(ACET)
12. NC CONTROLS : Continue
In NC machine tools , following operations
may be automatic:
I. Automatic starting and stopping of the
spindle;

24. CNC
With the recognized trend toward smaller, less
expensive computers, it soon became practical to
apply a single small computer to one machine tool.
This concept came to be called computer numerical
control (CNC).
The CNC systems were first commercially
introduced around 1970, and they applied the soft-
wired controller approach to good advantage.
One standard computer control unit could be adapted
to various types of machine tools by programming
the control functions into the computer memory for
that particular machine.
Today, because of the advantages of CNC, very few
conventional hard-wired NC systems are sold in the
United States. Prepared by: Prof. Rahul Thaker

30. Direct Numerical Control : DNC
DNC was the first of the computer control
systems to be introduced, around 1968. In the
evolution of computer technology, the
computers of that era were quite large and
expensive, and the only feasible approach
seemed to be to use one large computer to
control a number of machine tools on a time-
shared basis.
The advantage of DNC was that it established
a direct control link between the computer and
the machine tool, hence eliminating the
necessity for using punched tape input.
