Features: Numerical control (NC) technology is a rapidly developing high-tech in modern industrial production. It embodies the latest achievements of various disciplines such as mechanical manufacturing technology, automatic control technology, computer software and hardware technology, and detection and monitoring technology. It demonstrates significant superiority in improving productivity, reducing costs, ensuring machining quality, and enhancing working conditions. Especially in adapting to fierce market competition, rapid product updates, and small-batch, multi-variety production, the adoption of various NC equipment, machining centers, flexible manufacturing units, flexible manufacturing systems, and even computer-integrated manufacturing systems is an inevitable trend. NC technology is one of the key indicators for measuring a country's mechanical manufacturing industry level and is also a vital sign of a mechanical manufacturing enterprise's technical capabilities. Developing NC technology is a necessary path for technological transformation in China's mechanical manufacturing industry and the foundation for future factory automation. With the continuous expansion of NC machine functions and the constant improvement of NC system performance, NC machines have been increasingly widely applied in various mechanical manufacturing fields such as aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, automotive, and mold manufacturing. The main content of this book includes: the working principles and main functions of NC machines, NC machining, CNC control systems, programming and machining of NC lathes, milling machines, and machining centers, automatic programming and machining technology, and maintenance of NC machines. It focuses on introducing the programming features of the German SIEMENS-8025 system and the Japanese FANUC0i system, as well as the operation process of their simulation software, and the programming features of the German PA8000NT system. It also provides some comprehensive programming examples to guide readers in practical operations. Additionally, the book introduces the functions of the MasterCAM9.1 automatic programming software, enabling readers not only to learn the generation of 2D and 3D part machining trajectories and post-processing but also to master the transmission of NC programs between PCs and CNC systems, thereby improving their comprehensive application skills.
