Chapter 1

NC Technology

1. Introduction:

Conventional machines used for operations like Turning, Drilling, Milling were commonly

used and operated manualy. the worker had to use a detailed working drawing sheet of the

workpart that included dimensions, tolerances, surface roughness,….

He also had to use process sheet, which includes production steps, cutting speed, feed,

feedrate, revolutions,…..

This sheet was used to develop the NC coded program.

2. Basic Components of NC Machine System:

To produce the program instruction we use the process sheet and convert it to NC coded

program.

The NC coded program is then punched into a tape to e transferred to the machine

control unit.

The machine control unit !MC"# contains a tape reader, it also has register and uffer,they are used to convert the data from the punched tape into electric signals that are sent

to the machine tool.

$. #rogram of Instructions : It is the detailed step %y step commands that direct the actions of the processing

e&uipment. In machine tool applications 'the program of instruction is called part

program 'and the person !ho prepare the program is called a part programmer.

The program is coded on a suita%le medium for su%mission to the machine control

unit. The most common input mediums used are punched tape ' punched cards and

magnetic tape .

a. #unched Card:

#unched card is a plastic ( paper card !hich is ha)ing holes . It can

accommodate only fe! sentences of the program so there is restriction on the

si*e . The ad)antage of using card is that se&uence of operation can %e changed

%ecause each operation is on separate card .'program readers and

transportation de)ices for punched cards are more complicated than for punched tape.

%. #unched Tape :

"ifferent materials ha)e %een used for punched tape . These materials are

paper and foil . The follo!ing figure sho!s the shape and dimensions of the

punched tape

The follo!ing ta%les sho!s the standard +I, and IS- ,SCII/ codes for

numerical control programming originally designed for punched tape.

c. Magnetic Tape :

Magnetic tape is a plastic tape coated !ith iron o0ide and is similar to the tape

sed in tape recorders %ut small si*e/.magnetic tape can store much moreinformation per unit length as compared to punched cards or magnetic tapes .,lso

Information can %e easily stored and erased .This is the least preferred in

machining %ecause of the follo!ing reasons :

1. electrical and magnetic fields can easily distort program signals

2. any damage of the magnetic tape is not easy detecta%le %ecause no )isual

e0amination is possi%le.

3.tape gets damaged in dust in the shop floor.

.Machine Control nit :

Information is passed from the NC tape to the machine control unit %y means of

the tape reader in the machine control unit MC/ . ,fter the tape has %een read

%y the tape reader 'the coded information 'no! in the form of signals 'is passed on

to the control. egisters !ithin the control accept the information !hich consists

of proper coordinates ' preparatory functions and miscellaneous functions..This

information is transmitted to the respecti)e register sections !here actuation

signals are relayed to the machine tool dri)es. , fundamental s4etch of this process

is illustrated in the follo!ing figure .

Most modern NC and CNC machine controls are euiped with uffer storage shown

in the following figure ,this feature allows the control to accept information into the

uffer registers while an operation is eing performed from the active machineregisters.when the operation is complete the information is transferred from the uffer

storage to the machine actuation registers.

Tape reader types/a.Mechanical Type/ as shown in following figure

• Consists of pins that read holes in the tape, such that a hole is read as % or

signal, tape is red as + or no signal.

• 0t is commonly used in point to point motion !like in drilling#• 0t is slow, reads only aout 1+ chr2sec

• 0t is reliale, ine3pensive, and easy maintainance.

. 5hoto6electric reader/ as shown in the following figure

• Consists of a light eam and photo electric cell that gives a signal when light

falls upon it, such that a hole is read as % or signal, tape is red as + or no signal.

• 0t is commonly used in contouring motion.• 0t is fast, reads '++6)++ chr2sec

• 0t is very e3pensive

• 0t has high sensitivity to dust



C. 5numatic reader / as shown in the figureTheir principle is similar to that of electromechanical tape reader . Here pressure on

the moving contact is e3erted y compressed air . 0f there is punched hole in front of

no77le , the compressed air passes and no pressure uilds up at the opening of no77le

.this pressure is utili7ed to otain an electric signal . these readers are relatively cheap

.They have the advantage that the dirt particales in the reading 7one are automatically

lown off thus providing more reliaility .

To the paper !ith its point at the location !here the 8 and 9 lines cross each

-ther 'the intersection of the t!o a0es 8 and 9 is called orign or ero point.

our &uadrant are formed !hen the 8 and 9 a0es cross as sho!n in the figure

7.2 incremental System :

,n incremental system !or4s according to the same principle ' it positions the

;or4 or cutter in increments from the immediately preceding point. Calculations

,re made from the location of the tool or ta%le to !here it is going. ,s sho!n in figure the use of plus and minus signs in)ol)es a ne! aspect !hen used in the

incremental mode ' a <0 mo)e directs the tool to the left . Similarly a =9 mo)e

positios the cutter up from the present location and <9 is a command to mo)e

do!n . a = directs the cutter a!ay from the !or4piece'!hile a < is a mo)e

to!ard or into the !or4piece.

7.3 ,%solute Systems :

,n a%solute system operates similar to the a%solute dimensioning. ,ll positions

are figured and punched in the tape relati)e to the same *ero or reference point.

-ne ad)antage of a%solute systems o)er incremental systems concerns

positioning errors .if a positioning error occurs in an incremental system 'all

13



>. +ngineering ,nalysis of NC #ositioning Systems :

The NC positioning system converts the coordinate a3is values in the NC part

program into relative positions of the tool and work part during the processing .

Aet us consider the simple positioning system shown in figure .The system consists of

= cutting tool and worktale on which a work part is fi3ed .The tale is designed to

move the part relative to the tool . The worktale moves linearly y means of a

rotating leadscrew ,which is driven y stepping motor or servomotor .8or simplicity,

Be show only one a3is in our sketch .To provide 36y capaility ,the leadscrew has a

certain pitch 5 !in2thread , mm2thread#. Thus the tale moves a distance eual to the

pitch for one revolution. The velocity of the work tale ,which corresponds to the feed

ate in a machining operation is determined y the rotational speed of the leadscrew.

There are two types of positioning systems used in NC system / shown in figure

a. open loop system operates without verifying that the actual position achieved

in the move is the same as the desired position.

. Closed loop control system uses feedack measurements to confirm that the

final position of the worktale is the location specified in the program .

9pen loop cost less than closed loop systems and are appropriate when the force

1%



esisting the actuating motion is minimal , closed loop systems are normally

specified for machines that perform continuous path operations such as milling or

Turning in which there are significant forces resisting the forward motion of the

cutting tool.

NC #art #rogram

NC part programming consists of planning and documenting the seuence of processing

;teps to e performed on an NC machines, the part programmer must have a knowledge

9f machining as well as geometry . The documentation portion of the part programming

involves the input medium used to transmit the program of instructions to the NC machine

Control unit !MC"#.

The traditional input medium !%4)+# to the NC machines is %6inch wide punched tape .

more recently ,the use of magnetic tape and floppy disks have een growing in popularity as storage technologies for NC .

5art programming can e accomplished using a variety of procedures ranging from highly

Manual to highly automated methods. These methodes are /

1 . Manual part programming :

In manual part programming 'the programmer prepares the NC code using the lo! le)el

machine language .the program is either !ritten %y hand on a form from !hich a

punched tape or other storage media is su%se&uently coded 'or it is entered directly into

, computer e&uipped !ith NC part programming soft!are '!hich !rites the program ontothe storage media .In any case 'the part program is a %loc4 %y %loc4 listing of the

machining instructions for the gi)en Go% 'formatted for the particular machine tool to %e

used .

Manual part programming can %e used for %oth pointFtoFpoint and contouring Go%s. It is

Most suited for point <toFpoint machining operations such as drilling . It can also %e used

for simple contouring Go%s' such as milling and turning !hen t!o a0es are in)ol)ed .
