![]() ![]() Your CAM system should take advantage of CNC features like decimal point programming (I still see CNC words including real numbers generated with fixed format), radius designation for circular commands using R instead of I, J and K, and canned cycles instead of multiple G00/G01 motion commands. This can be a direct function of how your CAM system generates G-code programs. ![]() While they may not regularly modify CNC programs, setup people and operators should be able to understand what a G-code program is doing. Make programs easier to interpret and modify. ![]() Other CNC features that can have an impact on operator time and effort include other compensation functions like machining center based fixture offsets, tool length compensation and cutter radius compensation, as well as turning center based geometry and wear offsets. If you make your CAM system do so, you can save setup time and minimize potential for mistakes. All current CAM systems can output tool paths based on a specified tool nose radius. ![]()
