ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing a program for numerically controlled machine tools is disclosed involving the use of an aid comprised of a model representing the workpiece to be machined and the tooling to perform the machining process, mounted to have a capability for relative movement along axes corresponding to the relative movement occurring during the machining process. Standardized preset tools and tool holders are established for use in the actual machining processes and corresponding model representations of such standardized preset tools and tool holder combinations are provided which can be located in the model in the same relative position as the corresponding actual tools and tool holders will be located in the machine tool. In preparing the NC program, a machinist prepares a machining process, selecting tools and holders from the available standardized preset tools, and specifies the various machining steps, spindle speeds, in-feed rates, etc. to be utilized in machining the workpiece. The programmer, utilizing the model as an aid for creating a physical representation of the actual machining sequence, then prepares a control program listing, utilizing built-in scales along the axes of motion provided in the model to establish directly by reference to such scales the position of the machine tool at various stages in the sequence specified by the machinist. The final dimensional cuts are calculated from the dimensions of the workpiece specified in the drawing. The actual implementation disclosed corresponds to programming of a turret lathe with a two-dimensional model thereof utilized, including a representation of the turret indexing movement.
