Features: The book "Practical Technology of CNC Machining Programming" is divided into 8 chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview, discussing the general situation, working principles, motion classification, and coordinate systems of CNC machines. Chapter 2 covers the process foundation of CNC machining program development, including the determination of machining plans, process design, selection of CNC tooling and accessories, and the determination of cutting parameters. Chapter 3 focuses on the basic knowledge of program development, covering the fundamentals of CNC machine programming, relevant standards, and regulations. Chapter 4 discusses the programming for CNC milling machines and machining centers, covering the control, preparatory, compensation, fixed cycle, auxiliary, and spindle functions of boring-milling CNC machines and their programming methods. Chapter 5 presents programming examples for machining centers. Chapter 6 covers CNC lathe programming, including the basics, methods, and programming examples for CNC lathes. Chapter 7 provides programming examples for CNC lathe machining. Chapter 8 discusses automatic programming, covering the basic concepts, introducing two CNC programming languages—APT and ISO 4342—and the structure and general rules of FAPT programming, as well as the auxiliary language systems for FAPT lathes and milling machines. The book is rich in content, concise, illustrated, and based on practical experience with theoretical analysis. It balances the advancement and practicality of CNC machining, with all examples derived from the authors' work. The content is presented in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand manner, making it a highly practical and widely applicable textbook. This book serves as a training manual for junior and intermediate technical personnel in CNC, and can be used as a textbook for CNC, mold, mechanical manufacturing, and related majors in universities, colleges, and vocational schools. It is also a reference book for engineering technicians engaged in CNC machine applications.
