From Book News, Inc.
In this book/CD-ROM package, Smid, a consultant in CNC and CAD/CAM applications, introduces custom macros and shows how to develop and use them within the context of CNC machines and Fanuc control systems. Numerous examples and sample programs illustrate practical applications of techniques. All of the sample programs are included on the […]
Most machine shops are clean, well lit, and ventilated. Most modern CNC machines are partially or totally enclosed, minimizing the exposure of workers to noise, debris, and the lubricants used to cool workpieces during machining. Nevertheless, working around high-speed machine tools presents certain dangers, and workers must follow safety precautions. Computer-controlled machine tool operators, metal […]
Nature of the Work
Computer-control programmers and operators use computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines to cut and shape precision products, such as automobile parts, machine parts, and compressors. CNC machines include machining tools such as lathes, multiaxis spindles, milling machines, and electrical discharge machines (EDM), but the functions formerly performed by human operators are performed […]
