CHAPTER 6: PROGRAMMING
Preliminary remarks
“Programming” means translate the drawing of the piece to perform into CNC executive instructions.
A program can be inserted into the CNC by:
- importing files from an external PC, in this case the program could be generated with other pro-
grams like, for instance, Winsteel
- direct editing on the touch screen of CNC; in this case display the “Programming” screen page
Anyway, these agreements are valid:
all profiles different from “L”
side “A”: profile side toward datum line; from here, we shall call it “flange A”
side “B”: profile side toward mobile vice reference side; from here, we shall call it “flange B”
side “C”: horizontal upper side of the profile; from here, we shall call it “upper web”
side ”D”: horizontal lower side of the profile; from here, we shall call it “lower web”
“L” profiles
side “A”: vertical profile side toward the datum line; from here, we shall call it “flange A”
side “B”: horizontal profile side on the working plane; from here, we shall call it “flange B”
NOTE: To program, the activation of auxiliary circuits (oil pump, etc…) is not required.
