3. What is the CNC machine?
•
•
Now that we have seen what the NC machine is and its various
parts, it is easier to understand what the CNC machine is. CNC is
the short form for Computer Numerical control. We have seen that
the NC machine works as per the program of instructions fed into
the controller unit of the machine. The CNC machine comprises of
the mini computer or the microcomputer that acts as the controller
unit of the machine. While in the NC machine the program is fed
into the punch cards, in CNC machines the program of instructions
is fed directly into the computer via a small board similar to the
traditional keyboard.
In CNC machine the program is stored in the memory of the
computer. The programmer can easily write the codes, and edit the
programs as per the requirements. These programs can be used for
different parts, and they don’t have to be repeated again and again.

4. How the CNC machine works?
•
•
The CNC machine comprises of the computer in which the program
is fed for cutting of the metal of the job as per the requirements. All
the cutting processes that are to be carried out and all the final
dimensions are fed into the computer via the program. The
computer thus knows what exactly is to be done and carries out all
the cutting processes. CNC machine works like the Robot, which
has to be fed with the program and it follows all your instructions.
Some of the common machine tools that can run on the CNC are:
Lathe, Milling machines, Drilling Machine etc. The main purpose of
these machines is to remove some of the metal so as to give it
proper shape such as round, rectangular, etc. In the traditional
methods these machines are operated by the operators who are
experts in the operation of these machines. Most of the jobs need
to be machined accurately, and the operator should be expert
enough to make the precision jobs. In the CNC machines the role of
the operators is minimized. The operator has to merely feed the
program of instructions in the computer, load the required tools in
the machine, and rest of the work is done by the computer
automatically. The computer directs the machine tool to perform
various machining operations as per the program of instructions fed
by the operator.

Motion control-The heart of CNC
All forms of CNC equipment have two or
more direction of motion called axes.
These axes can be precisely and
automatically positioned along their length
of travel.
The two most common axis types are:
1.linear(driven along a straight path)
2.Rotary(driven along a circular path)

6. Identification of work piece material

7. •
•
Also the identification is done by different
aspects like by metal’s magnetic attraction,
density, thermal conductivity an
mechanical condition.
EX. Thermal conductivity:- Aluminium
feels warmer to the touch than stainless
steel with a similar finish.

8. REQUIREMENTS
•
•
•
•
Tools must resist abrasive wear
It must be capable of supporting and
retaining smooth , sharp edges
They must be rigid
Cutting and clearance angles must be
carefully selected

9. TYPES OF TOOL MATERIALS
•
•
•
•
•
•
High speed steel (HSS)
High carbon tool steel (HCS)
Cast alloy
Cemented carbide
Ceramics
Diamond

10. CNC MILLING
•
•
•
•
A machine operation in which a work part
is fed past a rotating cylindrical tool with
multiple edges. (milling machine)
HSS with titanium-nitride-coated end mills
Climb milling
Cobalt premium end mills

11. MILLING TOOLS
• T-15 cobalt premium steel Various

Drilling is a cutting process that uses
a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of
circular cross-section in solid materials.
Types of drill bits
low helix twist drill
high helix twist drill
coolant feeding drill

14. CNC TURNING
•
•
I.
II.
Turning is a machining process in which
a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit,
describes a helicaltoolpath by moving
more or less linearly while the
workpiece rotates
Types of tools:-
Indexable insert tools
Standard brazed tools

Inserts are removable cutting tips, which means they are
not brazed or welded to the tool body
They are usually indexable
This saves time in manufacturing by allowing fresh cutting
edges

18. INSERT SHAPE
• The strength of the insert also depends on
the shape of the insert

19. MODULAR TOOLING SYSTEMS
FOR TURNING
•
•
Specialized tooling consisting of a back end
mounted in the turret and interchangeable
front ends containing various cutting inserts
Modular tooling allows quick and
accurate positioning of cutting tools
on the lathe.

21. TOOL PRESETTING
•
•
•
The setting of tool in advance at a place
away from the machine tool
A presetting device is used to preset axial
and radial positions of the tool tip on tool
holder
Once this is done, tool holder is ready to
be mounted on the machine

24. AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGERS
For the (ATC) to operate, it is necessary to have
the following:
a) A tool magazine where sufficient number of
tools can be stored.
b) The tool adopter that has a provision for
pick-up by the tool change arm.
c) The ability in the control to perform the tool
change function,
d) Tool change procedure
