CNC programming (Computer Numerical Control Programming) is utilized by manufacturers to create program instructions for computers to control a machine tool. CNC is highly involved in the manufacturing process and improves automation as well as flexibility.
How do you write a CNC program?
- Step 1 Eliminate Assumptions. Because of modal commands (discussed in Chapter 2), it is possible that the machine may have settings in a different state than the programmer may expect.
- Step 2 Establish The Coordinate System.
- Step 3 Program Toolpaths.
- Step 4 End Safely.
What are the types of CNC programming?
There are three basic CNC machine programming methods — manual, conversational, and CAM system programming.
How do you set up a CNC program?
- Pre-Start. Before starting the machine, check to ensure oil and coolant levels are full.
- Start/Home. Turn power on the machine and control.
- Load Tools.
- Mount the Part in the Vise.
- Set Tool Length Offsets.
- Set Part Offset XY.
- Load CNC Program.
- Dry Run.

Which is the first step of CNC program procedure?
- Step 1: Determine the machining operations to be performed. For simple workpieces, required machining operations may be easy to ascertain.
- Step 2: Decide the machining order.
- Step 3: Do the math.
- Step 4: Consider the workholding device.
- Step 5: Consider the cutting tools.
- Step 6: Write the documentation.
Trains: A CNC machine can cut and shape the sturdy exterior parts for public and private trains. Aerospace: CNC machines can produce parts used for the exteriors and interiors of aircraft and spacecraft. Marine: Exterior and interior parts for many boat models come from CNC production.
