Manual Part Program for Facing, Step turning, Tapper and

Finish turning using ordinary and canned cycle.
Aim:
To write a manual part program for facing, step turning, tapper and finish turning
using
a)

Using ordinary cycle

b)

Using canned (G71) cycle

c)

Using canned (G72) cycle

Software used:
CADEM/SeeNC Turn

Pre Lab Questions:

1.

Why facing is required?

To ensure better flatness on face, this will be the reference from where the length of

the work piece is calculated.

2.

Why we required G and M codes for CNC machines?

Using these codes only we can able to communicate the CNC machine with post

processor.
3.

What is meant by normal cycle?

It is the cycle involved with manual inputs about rapid traverse and linear traverse of

the tool path

4.

What is circular interpolation?

A translation of linear axis positions into curved tool motions. Circular interpolation

requires an endpoint, a feed rate, a centre, a radius, and a direction of movement.

5.

What is the difference between G00 and G01?

G00 is the rapid tool traverse involves with no material removal
G01 is the tool traverse involve with material removal at defined feed rate.

Post Lab Questions:

1.

Why bigger tool nose radius required for roughing cycle?

For a revolution of work piece more material is removed for roughing with respect to

feed rate and spindle speed.

2.

Why smaller tool nose radius required for finishing cycle?

For a revolution of work piece less material is removed for finishing with respect to

feed rate and spindle speed to improve better surface finish.

3.

For roughing cycle how much feed rate is given when compared to finish cycle?
For roughing, Feed rate must be higher than finishing cycle.

4.

What is meant by G21?

Coordinate values in millimetres.

5.

What is meant by G28 U0 W0

Automatic zero return.

Result:
Thus a manual part program for facing, step turning, tapper and finish turning was
written and simulated using
a)

Using ordinary cycle

b)

Using canned (G71) cycle

c)
