Nt1330 Unit 3 Essay
I believe that the importance of correct programming and setting up of part is very important in today’s CNC manufacturing world as you are producing very precise components that need to be produced first time, every time or this is bad news for the company because of loss profits, scrap material and expensive repair costs. So ensuring correct programming and setting up of CNC machines is critical.
The main reason for needing to produce accurate programing codes to the right specifications is to reduce or stop the amount of components from being wasted/scrapped and also stop the CNC machines from being damaged. If a company had parts scrapped because the program was incorrect, not only they will be losing a lot of money in terms of running …show more content…
The whole point of implementing code efficiency is to reduce the amount processes and incorporate each process into one to make this more economical. The other point for code efficiency is to reduce the amount of time that the CNC machine takes to read each of the G-codes (by having say G81 instead of producing thirty lines of G-code, this removes a lot of useless and unneeded code from your program, plus you don’t need know how to produce aimless amounts of different types of code) and time taken for the programmer to produce the G-codes so that this reduces the operation time of producing the product, increases productivity, reduces human errors and increases profits. For example, if I wanted to drill ten holes into a billet, before canned cycles were in place, as the programmer you would need to produce almost thirty lines of G-codes in order to produce one hole, comparing to a single line of just using G81 and the coordinates for where you want the holes (this only increases the speed of producing the program, manufacturing the product and the ability of troubleshoot if there’s an issue). As I have stated above, this will reduce the amount of time of which the programmer will take to produce the code, makes it easier to understand the code, doesn’t fill up the computer’s memory and increased speeds of the CNC machine.
I hope that this
