For many machines, feed rate can also be specified in per-revolution fashion (either inches or millimeters per revolution). This makes feed rate specification easy. But one constant headache for programmers is that feed rate for most rotary axes must be specified in degrees per minute. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Tue, 20 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/405/1/CAM-Program-Copes-With-Die-Machining-Changes/CAM-Program-Copes-With-Die-Machining-Changes.html Started in the 1990s as a part of the Tooling Systems Group (Grand Rapids, MI), Dienamic Tooling Systems took root in Lenoir City, TN, producing medium to large sheet metal dies for nearby auto manufacturers. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/327/1/CNC-has-powerful-onboard-programming-tools/CNC-has-powerful-onboard-programming-tools.html NUM's Axium Power CNC system combines a compact CNC with powerful onboard programming tools for spin-forming processes. The embedded spinning functionality, together with guided preform and spin-cycle setup routines, is combined with a graphical and user-friendly interface, known as the HMI, to provide a highly specialised and economical control solution with minimal integration effort and setup time. info@seoseonews.com (Super Admin) Thu, 08 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/325/1/-Verifying-CNC-Program-Correctness-Step-3/-Verifying-CNC-Program-Correctness-Step-3.html The objective of this step is to carefully run the first workpiece in such a way that it will pass inspection. For our purposes, let's assume this is very important to the company that justified the first workpiece. info@seoseonews.com (Super Admin) Thu, 08 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/324/1/-Verifying-CNC-Program-Correctness-Step-2/-Verifying-CNC-Program-Correctness-Step-2.html Step two is to verify the correctness of the setup with proven CNC programs that have been successfully run before (there shouldn't be anything wrong with the program's movements). This will be true as long as you're sure that you have the current version of the program, as long as nothing has changed since the last time the job was run. However, with new programs, there could be serious mistakes still in the program. info@seoseonews.com (Super Admin) Thu, 08 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/300/1/CNCs-with-conversational-programming/CNCs-with-conversational-programming.html The Fagor 8040 and 8055 CNC units feature dual operating systems.

The biggest change in recent times for the CAD/CAM industry lies with the term "integration". Integration plays a very important role in the future of CAD/CAM products. There have been big workstation integrated CAD/CAM systems around for many years. They provide CAD and CAM integration by providing all pieces from the same company. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Thu, 01 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/127/1/Is-manual-programming-really-important---CNC-Tech-Talk/Is-manual-programming-really-important---CNC-Tech-Talk.html I am often questioned about the scope of this column. The most common question is: "Why do you continue to discuss manual programming techniques when almost all companies are using CAM systems?" Aside from the fact that other columnists are addressing issues related to computer Integrated manufacturing, I believe that a firm understanding of manual programming is of paramount importance to all CNC people. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/126/1/What-is-the-CNC-Control-and-its-Purpose/-What-is-the-CNC-Control-and-its-Purpose.html The CNC control will interpret a CNC program and activatethe series of commands in sequential order.
