UNIT III

1.what is punched tape?

Sol:Punched tape or perforated tape is a form of data storage consisting of a long strip of paper in which
holes are punched to store data.

2.various forms of programme input?

Sol:1.Manual part programming

2.Computer assisted part programming

3.Part programming using CAD/CAM

4.Manual data input

3.What is macro statement?

4.Explain Character,Row,word& Block in tape format?

5.Explain the function of the preparatory word G00,G01?

Sol: G-00 : Rapid transverse movement

G-01 : Linear interpolation (Block must contain X,Y,Z co-ordinates of End position) & Feed rate must also
be specified.

6. Explain the function of the preparatory word G02,G03?

Sol: G-02 : Circular interpolation,clockwise Block must include either arc radius (or) arc center

7. Explain the function of the preparatory word G20,G21?

Sol: G-20 : inch units(G70 on older inputs), G-21 : metric units(G71 on older inputs)

8. Explain the function of the preparatory word G40,G41?

Sol: G-40 : Cutter radius Compensation Cancel

G-41 : Cutter radius Compensation Left

9. Explain the function of the preparatory word G90,G91?

Sol: G-90 : Absolute co-ordinating system

G-91 : Incremental co-ordinating system

10. Explain the function of the preparatory word G80,G81 to

G89?

Sol: G-80 : Canned cycle cancel

G-81 to G-89 :Canned cycle definition & ON

11. Explain the function of the M-words M-03,M-04?

Sol:M-03 :starts spindle in Clockwise rotation

M-04 :starts spindle in anticlockwise rotation

12.Explain APT?

Sol: APT stands for Automatically Programmed Tool. It is a language that defines the tool path with respect to
the part geometry, and often forms the basis for post-processor generated NC files.

13.What are the four basic types of statements in APT language?

Sol:Four basic types of statements in APT language

i)Geometry Statements :used to define the geometry elements that comprise the part

ii)Motion Commands:used to specify tool path

iii)Post Processor Statements: used to control the machine tool operation

iv)Auxilary statements:group of miscellaneous statements used to name part program,insert caommand in

the program,& accomplish similar functions.

14.What is Major word & minor word?

Sol:Major Word is the geometry type defined(point,line,circle,plane).Major word is the command word such as
SPINDL,GOTO,CYCLE.....Minor word is a DESCRIPTOR WORD such as IPM(inch per minute),IPR(inch per
revolution) ,RPM(revolutions per minute),ON,OFF etc...

15.With neat sketch show drive surface, part surface & check surface?

Sol: Drive surface; this is the surface that guides the side of the cutter. It is pictured as a plane in our
Figure

Part surface; this is the surface, again pictured as a plane,on which the bottom or nose of the tool is
guided

Check surface; this is the surface that stops the forward motion of the tool in the execution of the current
command. One might say that this surface checks the advance of the tool
16.Difference between open loop closed loop position system?

Sol:An open loop positioning system typically uses a stepper motor to rotate the lead screw.A stepper motor is
driven by a series ofelectrical pulses

An closed loop NC system uses servo motor and feed back measured to ensure that the worktable is moved
to the desired positon

PREVIOUS PAPER QUESTIONS

1. Explain the function of the preparatory word G-80 &G81 to G-89?

Sol:G-80 :Canned cycle cancel

G-81 to G-89 :Canned cycle definition & On

2. Modifier words in APT?

Sol: TO ,ON,PAST,TANTO

3. What is machine cell?

Sol: The group of similar parts is known as part family and the group of machineries used to process an
individual part family is known as machine cell

4. APT language?

Sol: APT stands for Automatically Programmed Tool. It is a language that defines the tool path with respect to
the part geometry, and often forms the basis for post-processor generated NC files.

5. G81 code?

Sol: Canned cycle defintion and ON

6. Part families?

Sol:It is a collection of parts which are similar either because of geometric shape & size or because of similar
processing steps are required in manufacturing

7. Explain the function of the preparatory word G-02 code?

Sol:Circular interpolation ,clockwise (block must include either arc or arc center)

8. What are miscellnious functions?

Sol: M or miscellaneous codes are used to either turn ON or OFF different functions which control certain
machine tool operations.
