Abstract

The arrival of microcomputers has led to the rapid development of the approach to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming. CNC programs can be generated by employing graphics instead of time consuming, lengthy programming statements. A graphics-based programming system has been developed. It enables the use of graphics for the CNC programming and improves CNC capability by permitting simulation. This paper shows that the capabilities of a basic controller can be enhanced by simulation of advanced controlling features in a microcomputer. The approach developed in this paper represents the current trend of increasing emphasis on microcomputer-based software systems for machining.
