Trades & Technology

For introductory courses in CNC manufacturing technology and machine technology.

This superbly detailed and illustrated text clearly defines, explains and illustrates the basics of CNC machining centers and CNC turning machines. The volume sufficiently identifies, outlines and explains all the important fundamentals of control components, control operations, machine operation functions, and setup methods and procedures. It provides hands-on experience with a straightforward step-by-step methodology that is easy to understand and illustrates the main components and characteristics that are associated with each CNC machine type.

• Useful and effective illustrations.

  • Provides students with visual support of explanations and program samples.

• Key features and operations explained and illustrated–e.g. control components, control operations, machine operation functions, and setup methods and procedures.

  • Provides students with specific information about each CNC category that is not readily available in other texts.

• G-codes, M-codes and various other letter address codes featured.

  • Prepares students for further study of CAM systems.

• Summary learning tables and supporting technical charts.

  • Provides students with easy reference tools for CNC code descriptions, machining related data, machining formulas, safety rules, cutting speed values, machining feedrate values and screw thread cutting and technical data.

• CNC machine types and components; toolholders and cutting tools, workholding devices and setup methods and control features clearly described and illustrated.

  • Provides students with easy to understand information in one sourcebook.

• Related technical data linked to overall CNC process–e.g. Shop mathematics, feedrate, spindle speed, surface finishing, material types, cutter inserts and GD&T.

  • Provides students with supporting technical data on CNC machining calculations, surface finish, material types, CNC alarm codes and screw thread features.

• CNC program samples–Progress in a spiral fashion.

  • Shows students how to read programs block by block and provides them with a good understanding of each unit.

Controls/Computer Numerical Controls (Building & Technical Trades)

This book was developed to introduce students and machining professionals to the basic operations and methods of computer numerical control (CNC) technology. It provides a solid foundation for future advanced design and programming study.

Intended for readers with diverse backgrounds, concepts are presented using an applied, hands-on, step-by-step methodology, which is easy to understand and follow. Using generic examples not tied to a particular brand, coverage includes CNC set-up, operation, tooling, program structure, and machining processes. In addition, reviews of mathematics, blueprint reading, and metrology are included as needed.

• Safety issues are emphasized throughout the text.
• Useful and effective illustrations visually support the explanations and program samples.
• Readers are shown how to understand the format and concepts of CNC programs.
• G-Codes, M-Codes, and the various other letter address codes are all discussed, in addition to operational codes, such as tool changing, offsets, spindles speed, coolant, and program stops.
• CNC machine types, toolholders, cutting tools, and workholding devices are fully covered.
