1. INTRODUCTION:- 
1.1 Development in metal cutting machine tools 
The general purpose machine tools like lathe, milling, boring and grinding machine etc, were being operated manually until 1950 components needed in large numbers were catered by automats and special purpose machines. There were no machines available for catering special purpose machines. There were no machine available for catering to the need of batch production, where the higher productivity of special purpose machines is combined with the ease for job change over as in general purpose machine. If the general purpose machines could be operated automatically, and at higher speed, without the operator actually turning the hand wheels it would improve the productivity of these machines. 
Such an automated machines is numerically controlled machine. Numerical control was developed in 1952 in USA and is commercially available since 1960s.In the last two decades rapid development and miniaturization in the field of electronics has made it possible to build controllers which can effectively control basic machine and also their peripheral devices reliably. 
Production of CNC machine is increasing proportion of CNC machines among the total metal cutting machine tools also growing rapidly. 
1.2 An insight to CNC machines 
In manufacturer of part on machine tools, the work piece shape and dimension are achieved either by moving the tool against a rotating work piece or by moving the work piece against a rotating tool. The movement of tool/work piece is commanded manually through the help of hand operated controls through associated kinematics arrangements. This procedure is to be repeated to every piece produced. The dimension obtained by the operator setting have to be verified by measurements and suitable correction made. To produce component of high accuracy the operator must have high skill. 
For complicated components the production cycle time be very large as each dimension must be measured and controlled. Components having special profiles which requires two or more slides to be moved simultaneously cannot be without special profile generation system. These factors are responsible for low production rates one conventional machines. 
In a CNC machine, the slide (axes) movement are controlled by AC servo motors. The main objective is to be able to reach a particular point accurately at the required speed. The spindle speed is selectable according to needs of a particular job.
Page 5 
The selection and usage of the right tool for each of the machining operation as to be repetitively done each work piece by the machine operator on conventional machine. On NC machine, presenting the correct tool to the work piece is automatic by automatic indexing (as commanded) of multi-tool turret or automatic tool changer. 
For achieving higher production rates, multiple activities of the machine such as speed changes, motions of various slides, presentation of the right tool should be made concurrent activities to the maximum extent. This would call for an ability for coordination and execution of multiple activities which is beyond the human capability. Electronics system use in the numerical control system can do this task with the required speed and precision with the development of the computer and microprocessors, the logic control functions are achieved through computers. Such systems are called CNC systems. 
1.3 CNC Programming Concepts 
CNC machines are controlled by CNC systems through the intermediate drive elements like motors, hydraulic actuators etc. in order to execute any particular task. CNC system required are technological like cutting speeds, feeds, dept of cut, type of tool and geometrical data like size and shope of the work piece to be cut. 
The information input to such CNC system is to be in standard format such as 
EIA-RS-274B for positioning and contouring control. 
The programming format contains the letter code for each word with a special out number of digits for each numerical information. The letter codes includes the program the number, preparatory command, direction and distance to be moved for each axis, co-ordinates of the center of segments of circles for profile contouring, the feed rate , the tool number, spindle speed and other miscellaneous functions. 
The general program format is : 
Wkord sequence : 
N…G…X…Y..Z..S..T..D…M.. 
N01G02X4Z8F42M2T6S4 
The details of the format used for the machine is explained in the chapter. 
5- part programming. 
Also refer programming manual of siemens 802s CNC system supplied with machine.
Page 6 
1.4 Need for training in CNC 
As explained in sections 2 and 3 CNC machines are fairly complex with many special functions added to those found on conventional machines to achieve better productivity through automation . these machines require instruction from the machine operator in a different medium then the conventional machines. To facilitate learning of operating CNC machines , it is essential to impart proper training and operating the machine with the prepared part program. 
For preparing the part program, the geometrical information from the part drawing has to be converted to the program format. To get familiarization in program preparation, confidence in its correctness and operation of the CNC machine through th program ‘hand on training ‘ is required. 
A full fledged CNC machine suitable for such a machine is very high making it consequently machine hour rates of such a machine is very high making it uneconomical for usage for training purpose. Any error by the learner in programming or operation of the machine will be expensive to correct as these could damage the machines apart from loss of production time. Trainer machines are built in such a way that there will be no damage to the machine even during the execution of faulty program. Thus the familiarly with CNC machining obtained by training machines will develop the confidence of the learner to a level where he can take up operation for machines. 
1.5 ` Advantages of CNC machines: 
1. High productivity for small/medium batch quantity manufacture. 
2. Requires no special tool setting. 
3. High repeatability and accuracy of work pieces. 
4. Reduction in rejections 
5. Can do complicated jobs not normally possible on conventional machines 
6. Reduction in operator fatigue 
7. Reduction in skill required for machining operations 
8. Ease of product change over 
9. Reduction in lead- time for staring production 
1.6 Objectives of CNC machine training 
1. To understand the operation of CNC control 
2. To operate CNC machines based on the theoretical instructions obtained 
3. Imparting the ability to write program for different parts, which are difficult to cut in conventional machines 
4. To edit and execute these programs for different parts, which are difficult to cut in conventional machines 
5. To reduce the difficulty for change over to production CNC machines 
6. To understand the requirements of other features and peripherals needed for optimum machining.
Page 7 
1.4 Training method 
Following sequential steps are generally to be followed to train person in 
CNC machine operation: 
1. Understanding specifications, features and functions of the machine

control the execute the machine operations.The coordinate system of the machine has been explained is in the chapter.The programming methods program structure and explanation of each operating codes have also been provided. 
5.1 Coordinate system of CNC lathe 
The information “move the longitudinal slide in the head stock direction” is a very long one. besides, in each language, it would be different that’s why the traverse path movements in machine tools are described within the coordinate system. Coordinate system on a NC lathe is shown below. 
Z-axis - Axis parallel to the turning axis 
X- axis - Axis perpendicular to the turning axis 
-Z movement - Movement of the longitudinal slide towards the 
direction of the head stock. 
+Z movement - Movement of the longitudinal slide away from 
the head stock. 
-X movement - Movement of the cross slide towards the spindle 
axis. 
+X movement - Movement of the cross slide away from the spindle 
axis.

5.2 Programming methods 
There are two method to describe the path of motion in a CNC machine: 
1.Absolute programming method. 
2.Incremental programming method. 
In absolute programming method,the next point on the work piece is Taken as a reference or zero point and all the other dimensions are represented with respect to that point. 
In incremental programming method,the next point dimension in each block is referred with respect to the final point on the previous block. 
The system of dimensioning in each method is shown in the Illustrations.

    Page 4 1.INTRODUCTION:- 1.1 Development in metal cutting machine tools The general purpose machine tools like lathe, milling, boring and grinding machine etc, were being operated manually until 1950 components needed in large numbers were catered by automats and special purpose machines. There were no machines available for catering special purpose machines. There were no machine available for catering to the need of batch production, where the higher productivity of special purpose machines is combined with the ease for job change over as in general purpose machine. If the general purpose machines could be operated automatically, and at higher speed, without the operator actually turning the hand wheels it would improve the productivity of these machines. Such an automated machines is numerically controlled machine. Numerical control was developed in 1952 in USA and is commercially available since 1960s.In the last two decades rapid development and miniaturization in the field of electronics has made it possible to build controllers which can effectively control basic machine and also their peripheral devices reliably. Production of CNC machine is increasing proportion of CNC machines among the total metal cutting machine tools also growing rapidly. 1.2 An insight to CNC machines In manufacturer of part on machine tools, the work piece shape and dimension are achieved either by moving the tool against a rotating work piece or by moving the work piece against a rotating tool. The movement of tool/work piece is commanded manually through the help of hand operated controls through associated kinematics arrangements. This procedure is to be repeated to every piece produced. The dimension obtained by the operator setting have to be verified by measurements and suitable correction made. To produce component of high accuracy the operator must have high skill. For complicated components the production cycle time be very large as each dimension must be measured and controlled. Components having special profiles which requires two or more slides to be moved simultaneously cannot be without special profile generation system. These factors are responsible for low production rates one conventional machines. In a CNC machine, the slide (axes) movement are controlled by AC servo motors. The main objective is to be able to reach a particular point accurately at the required speed. The spindle speed is selectable according to needs of a particular job.

    Page 5 Theselection and usage of the right tool for each of the machining operation as to be repetitively done each work piece by the machine operator on conventional machine. On NC machine, presenting the correct tool to the work piece is automatic by automatic indexing (as commanded) of multi-tool turret or automatic tool changer. For achieving higher production rates, multiple activities of the machine such as speed changes, motions of various slides, presentation of the right tool should be made concurrent activities to the maximum extent. This would call for an ability for coordination and execution of multiple activities which is beyond the human capability. Electronics system use in the numerical control system can do this task with the required speed and precision with the development of the computer and microprocessors, the logic control functions are achieved through computers. Such systems are called CNC systems. 1.3 CNC Programming Concepts CNC machines are controlled by CNC systems through the intermediate drive elements like motors, hydraulic actuators etc. in order to execute any particular task. CNC system required are technological like cutting speeds, feeds, dept of cut, type of tool and geometrical data like size and shope of the work piece to be cut. The information input to such CNC system is to be in standard format such as EIA-RS-274B for positioning and contouring control. The programming format contains the letter code for each word with a special out number of digits for each numerical information. The letter codes includes the program the number, preparatory command, direction and distance to be moved for each axis, co-ordinates of the center of segments of circles for profile contouring, the feed rate , the tool number, spindle speed and other miscellaneous functions. The general program format is : Wkord sequence : N…G…X…Y..Z..S..T..D…M.. N01G02X4Z8F42M2T6S4 The details of the format used for the machine is explained in the chapter. 5- part programming.

    Page 6 1.4Need for training in CNC As explained in sections 2 and 3 CNC machines are fairly complex with many special functions added to those found on conventional machines to achieve better productivity through automation . these machines require instruction from the machine operator in a different medium then the conventional machines. To facilitate learning of operating CNC machines , it is essential to impart proper training and operating the machine with the prepared part program. For preparing the part program, the geometrical information from the part drawing has to be converted to the program format. To get familiarization in program preparation, confidence in its correctness and operation of the CNC machine through th program ‘hand on training ‘ is required. A full fledged CNC machine suitable for such a machine is very high making it consequently machine hour rates of such a machine is very high making it uneconomical for usage for training purpose. Any error by the learner in programming or operation of the machine will be expensive to correct as these could damage the machines apart from loss of production time. Trainer machines are built in such a way that there will be no damage to the machine even during the execution of faulty program. Thus the familiarly with CNC machining obtained by training machines will develop the confidence of the learner to a level where he can take up operation for machines. 1.5 ` Advantages of CNC machines: 1. High productivity for small/medium batch quantity manufacture. 2. Requires no special tool setting. 3. High repeatability and accuracy of work pieces. 4. Reduction in rejections 5. Can do complicated jobs not normally possible on conventional machines 6. Reduction in operator fatigue 7. Reduction in skill required for machining operations 8. Ease of product change over 9. Reduction in lead- time for staring production 1.6 Objectives of CNC machine training 1. To understand the operation of CNC control 2. To operate CNC machines based on the theoretical instructions obtained 3. Imparting the ability to write program for different parts, which are difficult to cut in conventional machines 4. To edit and execute these programs for different parts, which are difficult to cut in conventional machines 5. To reduce the difficulty for change over to production CNC machines 6. To understand the requirements of other features and peripherals needed for optimum machining.
