Isel Version: CNC Isel G3.exe CNC Isel G3.zip Instructional Video CNC-01: (CNC Composer. G&M code Lines, Circles, mirror): 60 secs: 20100921: 2.7MB This Visual Basic program was written by Tim Lovett.
Deskcnc Go Code
The basic language for controlling a CNC machine is called G&M code. While programs can be generated directly from 3D models and 2D drawings, a knowledge of G&M code is helpful needed for analysing or editing the programs. To start our first program, we need to know only a handful of G&M codes. G00 Move the axis at full speed (keep clear of the job!). In other words - "cutting air" G01 Move the in a straight line (at controlled speed for machining). G02 Circle Clockwise G03 Circle Anti-Clockwise G90 Absolute coordinates G91 Incremental coordinates M02 Spindle on CW M05 Spindle off M30 End of program
In this example, M6 sets the tool and calls it T1 (Tool 1). Later, when the G41 code is run (left compensation), the diameter of Tool 1 is called (D1). The tools then traces around the contour staying on the LEFT of the job.
G-codes and M-codes are simply software programming languages (or computer instructions) that dictate the motion of the CNC cutting tools to create the desired part. These programs can be complex to implement since they vary from machine to machine and require the expertise of a skilled CNC programmer. The basics, however, are much more straightforward than you think and, for the most part, follow an industry standard.
In this article, we will cover the basics of G-codes and M-codes in CNC machining. You will have enough information to create simple machining programs to fabricate your parts by the end of this read.
Now that you understand the basics of CNC programming using g-codes and m-codes, you can proceed to fabricate any part using CNC machining, right? Wrong! The success of your machining project primarily depends on the machine shops and machinists you work with. You want to work with a machine shop (or machinist) that is knowledgeable about GD&T (Geometric Dimension and Tolerancing) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).
