CNC Lathe Computer Programming Training

1. Application of MasterCAM CNC Lathe Programming

1. The parts are rather complex with numerous node coordinates, making manual programming and calculations cumbersome and prone to errors.

2. The rough shape and excess allowance are irregular; the computer programming lacks clearance cuts. If manually programmed, there would be a significant number of unnecessary cuts.

3. The contour shape has opposite slopes on the left and right, and the middle is joined with a cutting tool, which is not convenient for calculating the node coordinate system.

4. The company has AutoCAD product contour lines that can be directly imported into MasterCAM for programming, significantly reducing programming workload.

5. When the program is lengthy, it saves a significant amount of time on input and verification, as manual CNC interface input is not required.
