Interpolating Axes On Manual Machines
Peter Zelinski
A skilled operator can machine a variety of complex parts on a manual machine tool with the aid of a digital readout, but the limits of what a DRO-equipped machine can do have always been clear. Manual machining can’t coordinate the motion between two axes. That means a DRO can be helpful for straight cuts, but it takes CNC to cut along curves...
New Era In CNC Control and Maintenance
Pete Bartelme and Dave Michalets
When Bob Smith, the first shift supervisor for the strut-machining department, arrives at his office Monday morning, one of his first tasks is checking emails. Not only does he want to see whether anyone in his building has sent something important to him, he also wants to see whether any of the machines in his department require attention...
The End of G-Code?
Gibbscam.com
Since the very first CNC machine tool, there was G-code. G-code provided the instructions, which drove the tool from one position to another, which turned the coolant on and off, which changed the tooling. They were inseparable - CNC machining and G-code. If you wanted to run CNC machines, you had to learn G-code in order to speak the language of the CNC controller...

Forging, Casting and CNC Machining
Jeff del Papa
To forge something you make a mold out of very good steel. You put a plate of the metal you want to forge between the two halves of a mold, and squeeze the mold. HARD! As in many tens (and for large things, hundreds) of tons, from a press that may outweigh your house. (The moveable half of the mold is called a "tool"; the stationary half is called a "die.") The metal flows like toothpaste, and when you open the mold...
When Controls Converge: CNC,PLC & PC
Lawrence S. Gould
Good news! CNCs, PLCs, and PC-based industrial controllers are beginning to look and act more alike. They are also quickly losing their island status on the plant floor. The result is industrial controllers that do more on the plant floor. What's happening in factory control these days? In a word: convergence. Many of the features that differentiated programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from computer numerical controllers...
