Experiment 05
CNC Milling

Objectives:

• To write the G & M codes for pocketing operation and perform the operations
on the CNC Milling.

Types of CNC machines

• CNC Turning
• CNC milling
• CNC wirecut
• CNC router
• CNC laser cut
• CNC water jet cutting etc.

Working on CNC Machine/ EDM wirecut

C) Machine
A) Instructions B) Controller
Component

A) Instructions to machine: (based on the available facilities in Labs)

Machine Form of instruction

EDM wirecut 2D cad drawings using AutoCAD software


CNC lathe Writing G & M codes manually
CNC milling Generating G & M codes using Fusion 360 software

G & M codes
Generally, G-codes create movement & M-codes turn things ON, turn things OFF.

Procedure:

• Secure the workpiece on the CNC machine.


• Select the appropriate cutting tool for the pocket size and material.
• Set spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut.
• Program the tool path for the pocket, specifying the boundaries and depth.
• Start the CNC machine to execute the program.
• The tool moves along the programmed path, removing material to create the
pocket.
• Monitor the operation to ensure smooth cutting.
• After the pocket is complete, inspect the workpiece for accuracy.
• Clean and finish the pocket as needed.

Conclusion:
This CNC pocketing program guides the tool along a complex path to create a
pocket in the workpiece. It involves multiple linear movements in the X, Y, and Z
directions, controlling both the position and depth of the tool. The use of commands
such as G01 ensures precise, controlled cutting, while spindle speed and feed rate
are optimized for the material. The program finishes by retracting the tool to a safe
height, ensuring the workpiece is completed without damaging the tool or the
machine.
