THEORY :

CNC Turning machines and convertional turning machines each have the same basic components, such as
the main motor, the spindle, the bed, the tool turret, the headstock, the cross-slide, the carriage and the way
systems. However, CNC Turning machines, in addition, are outfitted with a computerized control and
servomotors to operate them.

Manual CNC Turning can be very versatile and productive machine tools, but when coupled with
a CNC, they become the ‘high tech production turning machines’ of the machine shop. Additionally,
repetitive operations such as turning, facing and boring are ideal machining applications for CNC Turning
machines.

CNC Turning machines can also be designed to include a variety of optional components and
features. These options are basically designed to reduce setup time, part handling and cycle time. For

J4102/JKM/L01.S01 | 24/09/2010 1/ 4
instance, one option for minimizing part handling time is to add a part loading magazine or a robot arm.
The maximum spindle speed (RPM) of a CNC Turning machines can also very depending on the need or
application.

The factors that determine the spindle speed range selected can include the type of part materials,
the part sizes and the annual part production quantities to be machined. Another factor that influences the
spindle speed range is the type of tool cutter material that will be used, such as HSS, coated carbide,
diamond and ceramic.

High-production turning machines can be designed with dual chucks that enable a part to be
machined on both ends. Also, live tooling can be incorporated that allows milling and drilling at various
angles. Other options may include a second or third turret, a bar feeder, a parts catcher, a steady rest
follower and a tool setter.

APPARATUS :

CNC Tuning Machine TNA300, Aluminium rod Ø19mm

SAFETY PRECAUTION :

There are several key factors to avoid or prevent any accident in the lab.
1. Work habits
2. Security self
3. Security when using the equipment
4. Housekeeping work
5. Focus attention and calm at work
6. Placing the cleanliness and neatness of dress

PROCEDURE :

A) CNC Turning Operating.

 Switch on main  Select monitor.
 On NC  Press HI to program.
 On pump
E) Simulation.
B) Setting Reference Point  Select mode ‘ ON AUTO’
 Set feed rate to 10%  Press M/C lock ( compulsory )
 Mode selection switch at reference point  Press graphic
 Off pump  Press H3 to trace
 Off NC (about 10 second)  Press H5 to program
 Do again step A  Press start button
 Press ‘Dry Run’. ( base on program
C) Edit File request )
 Select edit  Increase feed override to …….
 Choose file  Set rapid traverse to 25 .
 Select file – input
 Select monitor
 Press H2 to search file.
 Select file
 Press H2 (to active program to input )

D) Work Setting.
 Claim work piece
 Measure length work piece to …………( LW + 106)
 Select edit button
 Choose programming by press ……….. on screen
 Go to G59 – change Z dimension. Total work piece + 106 = input………..
