ToolingU “Creating a CNC Turning Program” illustrates the process of creating a part program for a CNC lathe. Part programmers use G code programming to perform the different tasks within a part program, from describing the location of a cutting tool to setting the feed and speed. Canned cycles help to shorten the length of part programs. A part programmer needs a thorough understanding of G code programming and how it relates to the axes on a CNC lathe to create a part program that produces accurate parts. After taking this class, users should be able to describe how to write a part program that machines a basic cylindrical part on the CNC lathe.
Course Objectives:
- Describe the role of a part program

- Describe how program codes translate into tool movement
- Identify common codes located at the beginning of a toolpath
- Distinguish between the two feed modes and two speed modes
- Identify the role of the repeating codes throughout a program
- Explain how to program facing and rough turning operations using G code programming
- Describe the operation of the rough turn canned cycle
