This new edition updates and improves a solid introduction to the principles, operations, and programming of computer numerical control (CNC) machinery. There is also an addition of controllers by Fanuc and Mazatrol. This expands the coverage of most major types. There is also an expanded coverage of Bridgeport Ezpath and Mastercam and the readers can learn how the newest software works. Information on the latest quality control standards has been added, including ISO 9000. It also includes updated coverage of electrical discharge machines (EDM), with thorough introduction to conversational programming.

For one/two-semester, undergraduate-level courses in CNC, or for the manual component of a CNC programming course. Using a practical, step-by-step approach, easy-to-follow language, an abundance of graphics, and machining simulation software, this text/CD-ROM package gradually develops the most fundamental concepts in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology-with a focus on word address (G and M code) programming for the industry standard Fanuc controllers.

Now in a newly updated and expanded fourth edition, our most popular CNC programming book continues to provide readers with an excellent foundation in programming codes and syntax. Programs represented in the book are not as complex as those found in Industry. However, they have been deliberately engineered to provide readers with demonstrations of basic concepts of CNC programming that they can learn from and apply to a variety of industrial situations. Comprehensive in scope, the book features detailed discussion of two-axis and three-axis programming, basic trigonometry, and advanced CNC concepts such as mirror imagery, polar rotation, and helical interpolation. A comprehensive glossary is also included for the benefit of readers who may be new to the CNC programming world.

Product Description: The CNC Workshop, the only CNC-related text with simulation software, is a flexible, unique package where the programming code that is learned and generated by the student can either be sent to an actual machine or to the simulation software...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
