CNC Basics - FANUC Series 21 Lathe and Mill (CNC 412)

CNC machines are one of the most important equipment used in industry to produce parts. This workshop will provide the necessary know-how based on hands-on training on real industrial equipment upon the ISO G-Code language FANUC variant.

• Brief history about the ISO G-Code language: the beginning, the actual state, the industrial point.
• Principles of ISO G-Code programmation.
• Organization of a single instruction and the complete structure of a Block.
• Description of the words set: N, G, F, S, F, T, M.
• Syntax of the ISO G-Code words for Milling and Turning machines.
• Systems of Coordinates: Absolutes and Relatives, Cartesians or Polars.
• Machine coordinate system and user coordinate system.
• Set-up of the machine for the required job.
• Tool path: kind of paths and its control.
• Technological parameters.
• Structure of a NC program.
• Samples according to FAN UC Series 21.

• understands the basics on how to program a CNC Machine.
• understands how to manage the System of Coordinates.
• understands how to control the tools and the tool movement.
• knows the structure and the syntax of a single block of ISO G-Code FANUC Series 21.
• knows the set of Words for Lathe Machines and for Milling Machines equipped with a FANUC Series 21 Numerical Control.
• is able to read and write simple NC programs through the FANUC Series 21 Machine Interface.
• is able to open an NC program and modify some instructions or add new blocks/words.
