Abstract

An interactive part programming system for a conventional numerically-controlled milling machine is described. The microcomputer-based software is written in the BASIC language and its use requires no knowledge of programming languages or machine tool command formats. Certain features common to computerized numerically-controlled machine tools are incorporated. This provides additional apparent capabilities which are not inherent to the existing hard-wired machine controller. The software system is used in the computer-aided manufacturing laboratory to provide exposure to current technology without additional investment in state-of-the-art machine tool equipment.
