INTRODUCTION OF APT
Its development began in June 1956, and it was first used in production
around 1959.
1. GEOMETRY STATEMENTS
The first is the symbol use to identify the geometric element. Normally the
alphabet P is used for defining a Point, C for Circle, L for Line and
Pl for Plane.
DEFINITION OF POINT-1:
( COORDINATE VALUES )
Y
P1 = POINT/2,2,2
P1
2
X
2
DEFINITION OF POINT-2:
(INTERSECTION OF TWO PREVIOUSLY DEFINED
LINES)
P2 = POINT / INTOF,L1,L2
L1
P2
L2
DEFINITION OF POINT-3:
(INTERSECTION POINT OF A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED LINE
AND CIRCLE)
P3 = POINT / XSMALL, INTOF, L1, C1
Or
Or
P4
L1
P3
DEFINITION OF POINT-4:
(INTERSECTION POINT OF TWO PREVIOUSLY
DEFINED CIRCLES)
P3 = POINT / XSMALL, INTOF,C1,C2
Or
Or
C1
P3
C2
P4
75
C1
DEFINITION OF POINT-6:
(CENTER POINT OF A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED CIRCLE
)
P2 = POINT / CENTER, C1
P2
C1
DEFINITION OF LINE-1:
(PASSING THROUGH TWO PREVIOUSLY DEFINED
POINTS)
L1 = LINE/P1,P2
P2
P1
L1
DEFINITION OF LINE-2:
(PASSING THROUGH A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POINT AND
TANGENT TO A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED CIRCLE)
L3 = LINE / P1, RIGHT, TANTO, C1
L4 = LINE / P1, LEFT, TANTO, C1
The RIGHT or LEFT modifiers are applied by looking from the point to the
circle and deciding whether the line will pass to the right or left of the circle.
L4
C1
P1
L3
DEFINITION OF LINE-3:
(TANGENT TO TWO PREVIOUSLY DEFINED CIRCLES)
L1 = LINE / LEFT, TANTO, C1, LEFT, TANTO, C2
L1 = LINE / RIGHT, TANTO, C2, RIGHT, TANTO, C1
The RIGHT & LEFT modifiers are applied looking from the first circle
quoted to the second
L1
C2
C1
C1
L4
DEFINITION OF LINE-4:
(PASSING THROUGH A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POINT AT A
SPECIFIED ANGLE TO THE X-AXIS)
L2 = LINE / P1, ATANGL, 30
L2 = LINE / P1, ATANGL, -150
L2
P1
30
150
DEFINITION OF LINE-5:
(PASSING THROUGH A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POINT,
PARALLEL TO A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED LINE)
L3 = LINE/P3,PARLEL,L2
P3
L3
L2
DEFINITION OF LINE-6:
(PASSING THROUGH A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POINT,
PERPENDICULAT TO A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED LINE)
L3 = LINE/P1,PERPTO,L2
P1
L2
L3
DEFINITION OF CIRCLE-1:
(COORDINATES OF CENTER OF CIRCLE, WITH A GIVEN
RADIUS)
C1 = CIRCLE/X,Y,R
C1
R
(X,Y)
DEFINITION OF CIRCLE-2:
(PREVIOUSLY DEFINED CENTER POINT AND TANGENT TO
A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED LINE)
C2 = CIRCLE/CENTER,P1,TANTO,L2
L2
P1
C2
DEFINITION OF CIRCLE-3:
(PREVIOUSLY DEFINED CENTER POINT AND PASSING
THROUGH ANOTHER PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POINT)
C2 = CIRCLE/CENTER,P1,P2
P2
P1
C2
DEFINITION OF CIRCLE-4:
(PASSING THROUGH THREE PREVIOUSLY DEFINED
POINTS)
C3 = CIRCLE/P1,P2,P3
P2
P1
C3
P3
DEFINITION OF PLANE:
(BY THREE PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POINTS)
PL4 = PLANE/P1,P2,P3
2. MOTION STATEMENTS
The FROM is an APT vocabulary word which indicates that this is the
initial point from which others will be referenced. The FROM statement
occurs only once at the start of the motion sequence.
GOTO:
The GOTO statement instructs the tool to go to a particular point location
specified in the descriptive data.
e.g.
GOTO / P2
GOTO / 2, 7, 0
GODLTA:
The GODLTA command specifies an incremental move for the tool.
e,g,
GODLTA / 2, 7, 0 instructs the tool to move from its
present position to 2 units in x-direction, 7 units in y-direction and 0 units
in z-direction
B) CONTOURING MOTION
Drive Surface (DS): the surface against which the edge of tool rides.
Part Surface (PS) : the surface on which the bottom end of the tool rides.
Check Surface (CS) : the surface at which the tool motion is stop.
Modifier words, such as TO, ON, PAST or TANTO, are used to govern the
position of the tool in relation to the check surface.
Motion statements, GOLFT (go to the left), GOFWD (go forward) and
GORGT(go to the right), are also used to control the cutter motion.
4. AUXILIARY STATEMENTS
It give part and tool tolerances.
The statement used for this are
INTOL/0.0015
OUTTOL/0.001
