CNC Part Programming Workbook

Part of the "Computer-Aided Engineering" series, this workbook provides Computer-Aided Engineering Scheme 230 and equivalent BTEC courses. It can be used independently of the others and of the core text. CNC (computerized numerical control) systems are essential elements in many industrial processes. This text contains 15 learning assignments, each with a number of carefully chosen and structured tasks which should develop the skills needed to work from engineering drawings of components which are to be machined, and to produce part programs which incorporate the various commands and functions of a CNC system. There are also realistic work-based projects which bring together various aspects covered in the workbook. All necessary topics are included from program planning and writing, to editing and proving.
