An approach to creation of a unified system of programming CNC machines in the dialog mode

Abstract

The tendencies in the development of part programs for CNC machine tools are considered, the used programming methods are analysed, and the compatibility problem of interactive programming systems is proved. An approach is proposed with the use of canned cycles, which allows to unify the process of dialog programming for machines with CNC systems from different manufacturers. Practical aspects of creating part programs in dialog mode for machines equipped with CNC systems Siemens, Fanuc, Heidenhain, AxiOMA Control and Balt-Systems are presented.
