ABSTRACT
The aim of the project is to manufacture the designed profile by using CNC machine.
The profile designed is needed to write a CNC program based on labels, the label mode of
program is selected because the programming is too easy even for complicated shapes.
CNC’s had made revolutionary changes with in the manufacturing sector in before days
achieving productivity up to the desired level was not possibilities due to lots of drawbacks
like complication of shapes and sizes, lack of skilled labours, lots of wastages and scraps due
to unexpected mistakes and low quality levels and accuracy. By using CNC this all draw
backs can be overcome and this was our small contribution to show the performance of CNC.
Initially we got trained about the CNC programming and operations for the period of one
month during the training decided to carry our project on CNC , we designed a profile to be
manufactured which would be tough to achieve it by conventional machining process and we
designed to make use of aluminium material as a work piece of dimension, after the basic
selections and decisions the preparation of an program (based on labels) was done and we went
for simulation and verified it thoroughly weather the profile achieved by simulation is matching
to the designed after lots of observation we went for manufacturing the profile in CNC machine
available at the source place and the results we got was smooth finished surface with high rate of
accuracy with less machining time which directly increases the productivity and the process
would be economical when compared to the normal conventional machining process.

MACHINE BY PROGRAMMING BASED ON LABELS
CHAPTER: 1 INTRODUCTION
MACHINE:
• Mechanical
• Chemical
• Thermal
• Electrical
In olden days Conventional Machines were used for performing operations .It
takes lots of time to do operations and by the improvement of technology the NC
Machines came into existence. By this NC machines, the conventional machine
drawbacks were overcome. But the problem with the NC machines was that it has no
storage facility and functions achieved by this were limited. By technology development
the CNC Machines came into existence. The machine was equipped with the computer
and supportive software's with help of this it was been made too easy to operate with the
complicated operations and has lots of space to store the data.
The concepts of Conventional, NC, and CNC machines are been discussed below.
CONVENTIONAL MACHINES:
1.2.1ConventionalMachines:-
Machines that are driven or operated with the help of human resource are termed as
Conventional Machines. Example: -Small scale welding. - Small scale moulding. - Lathing.
Conventional machines require direct contact of tool with work piece material for
metal removing in form of chip. Conventional machining process involves tool wearing as
there is a physical contact between the tool and the work piece. Turning, drilling,
grinding, broaching, are example of conventional machining process. Conventional
machining process have many
advantages over non-conventional machining process as they are more precise, no wear of
tool, no heat generation etc.
Manufacturing processes can be broadly divided into two groups and they are Primary
manufacturing process and Secondary manufacturing process. The former ones provide basic
shape and size to the material as per designer's requirement. Casting, forming, powder
metallurgy are such processes to name. Few secondary manufacturing processes provide the
final shape and size with tighter control on dimension, surface characteristics etc.; Material
removal processes are mainly secondary manufacturing processes.
Material removal processes are once again divided into mainly two groups on there
are "Conventional machining processes" and "Non Traditional Manufacturing processes".
Conventional machining usually involves changing the shape of work piece using
an implement made of a harder material. Using conventional methods to machine hard
metals and alloys means increased demand of time and energy and therefore increase in
cost in some cases conventional machining may not be feasible.
Conventional machining also cost in terms of tool ware and in loss of quality in
the product owing to induced residual stresses during manufacture with ever increasing
demand for manufactured goods of hard alloys and metals such as inconel718 or
Titanium. Bore interest as gravitated to Non-conventional machining methods.
An operational numerical control system consists of the following three basic components:
• Program of instructions.
• Controller unit also called as machine tool unit.
• Machine tool or other controlled process.
PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTIONS:
The program of instructions is the detailed step by step set of instructions which
tell the machine what to do. It is coded in numerical or symbolic form on some type of
input medium that can be interpreted by the controller unit. The most common one is the
1-inch-wide punched tape. Over the years, other forms of input media have been used,
including punched cards, magnetic tape, and even 35mm motion picture film.
There are two other methods of input to the NC system which should be
mentioned. The first is by manual entry of instructional data to the controller unit. This is
time consuming and is rarely used except as an auxiliary means of control or when one or
a very limited number of parts to be made. The second method of input is by means of a
direct link with the computer. This is called Direct Numerical Control, or DNC.
CONTOLLER UNIT:
The second basic component of NC system is the controller unit. This consists of
electronics and hardware that read and interpret the program of instructions and convert it
to mechanical actions of the machine tool. The typical elements of the controller unit
include the tape reader, a data buffer, signal output channels to the machine tool, and the
sequence controls to coordinate the overall operation of the foregoing elements.
The tape reader is an electrical-mechanical device for the winding and reading the
punched tape containing the program of instructions. The signal output channels are
connected to the servomotor and other controls in machine tools. Most N.C. tools today are
provided with positive feedback controls for this purpose and are referred as closed loop
systems. However there has been growth in the open loop systems which do not make
The advocates of the open loop concept claim that the reliability of the system is great
enough that the feedback controls are not needed.
MACHINE TOOL:
The third basic component of an NC system is the machine tool or other controlled
process. It is part of the NC system which performs useful work. In the most common
example of an NC system, one designed to perform machining operations, It also includes
the cutting tools, work fixtures and other auxiliary equipment‟s .
CNC is the short form for COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL. As we all know
that NC (NUMERICAL CONTROL) Machine works as per the program of instructions fed
into the controller unit of the machine. The CNC Machine comprises of the mini computer or
the microcomputer that acts as the controller unit of the machine. While in the NC machine
the program is fed into punch cards, in CNC Machines the program of instructions is fed
directly into the computer via a small board similar to the traditional keyboard.
In CNC Machine the program is stored in the memory of the computer. The
programmer can easily write the codes and edit the programs as per the requirements.
These programs can be stored in the memory of the computer. These programs can be
used for different parts, and they don’t have to be repeated again and again.
Compare to the NC machine, the CNC machine offers greater additional flexibility
and computer capability. New systems can be incorporated into the CNC controller
simply by reprogramming the unit. Because of its capacity and the flexibility the CNC
machines are called as “soft-wired” NC. The numerical data required to produce a part is
provided to a CNC machine in the form of program, called “Part Program”. The program
is translated into the appropriate electrical signals for input to motors that run the
machine. A CNC Machine is a Numerical Control Machine with the added feature of an
on board computer which is referred to as the machine control unit (MCU).
CNC Machine Operators work in a wide variety of fields. People from all different
pursuits, such as hobbyists and even military group, take advantage of the cost saving
accrued by using CNC machines to turn raw materials into final products. The machines
are faster, more efficient and safer, too.
The CNC machine comprises of the computer in which the program is fed for
cutting of the metal of the job as per the requirements. All the cutting processes that are to
be carried out and all the final dimensions are fed into the computer via the program. The
computer thus knows what exactly is to be done and carries out all the cutting processes.
CNC machine works like the Robot, which has to be fed with the program and it follows
all your instructions.
Some of the common machine tools that can run on the CNC are: Lathe, Milling
machines, Drilling Machine etc. The main purpose of these machines is to remove some
of the metal so as to give it proper shape such as round, rectangular, etc. In the traditional
methods these machines are operated by the operators who are experts in the operation of
these machines. Most of the jobs need to be machined accurately, and the operator should
be expert enough to make the precision jobs. In the CNC machines the role of the
operators is minimized. The operator has to merely feed the program of instructions in the
computer, load the required tools in the machine, and rest of the work is done by the
computer automatically. The computer directs the machine tool to perform various
machining operations as per the program of instructions fed by the operator.
There are many different types of CNC Machines used industry, such as
interaction
• Smaller footprint: Due to the fact that several machines are fused into one.
LIMITATIONS OF CNC MACHINES:
• CNC Machines are more expensive than manually operated
machines, although cost is slowly coming down.
• The CNC Machine operator only needs basic training and skills, enough
to supervise several machines.
• Fewer workers are required to operate the CNC machines compared to manual
operated machines. Investment in CNC Machine can leads to unemployment.
• Medical Industry: In Medical Industries these CNC‟s are going to user for
preparing operational instruments.
• Industries For Fabricating Materials: In many industries thin plates like steel plates
are required for various purpose inn fabrication industry the machining operations
are performed on such plates.
• Other Industries Where CNC Machines Are Used: CNC Machines are also used
extensively in the wood working industries to perform various operations like
routing and drilling. CNC technology is also used in number of lettering and
engraving systems.
Some of the CNC Machines are shown in the figures below:
CHAPTER: 2
CNC PROGRAMMING BASICS
Each letter address relates to a specific machine function. “G” and “M” letter
addresses are two of the most common. A “G” letter specifies certain machine
preparations such as inch or metric modes, or absolutes versus incremental modes.
An “M” letter specifies miscellaneous machine functions and work like on/off
switches for coolant flow, tool changing, or spindle rotation. Other letter addresses are
used to direct a wide variety of other machine commands.
When points are located on a work piece, two straight intersecting lines, one vertical and
one horizontal, are used. These lines must be at right angles to each other, and the point
where they cross is called the origin, or zero point .
Fig.2.1. Intersecting lines from right angles and Fig.2.2. The three dimensional
coordinate planes establish the zero point (Allen-Bradley)(axes) used in
CNC. (The Superior
Electric Company)
Machine Coordinate System (MCS):
The machine coordinate system comprises all the physically existing machine
axes. Reference points and tool and pallet changing points (fixed machine points) are
defined in the machine coordinate system.
When seen from the front of machine, the middle finger of the right hand machines
is in the opposite direction to the in feed of the main spindle. Therefore,
• The thumb points in the +X direction
• The index finger points in the +Y direction
• The middle finger points in the +Z direction
Fig.2.5.Quadrant System
The quadrants formed when the X and Y axes cross are used to accurately locate
points from the XY zero, or origin, point (Allen-Bradley).
In Fig, point A would be 2 units to the right of the Y axis and 2units above the X
axis. Assume that each unit equals 1.000. The location of point A would be X + 2.000
and Y + 2.000. For point B, the location would be X + 1.000 and Y - 2.000. In CNC
programming it is not necessary to indicate plus (+) values since these are assumed.
However, the minus (-) values must be indicated. For example, the locations of both A
and B would be indicated as follows:
A
X2.000
Y2.000
B
X1.000
Y-2.000
PROGRAMMING SYSTEM
Two types of programming modes, the incremental system and the absolute system,
are used for CNC. Both systems have applications in CNC programming, and no system
is either right or wrong all the time. Most controls on machine tools today are capable of
handling either incremental or absolute programming.
Incremental programs locations are always given as the distance and direction
from the immediately preceding point (Fig. 6). Command codes which tell the machine to
move the table, spindle, and knee are explained here using a vertical milling machine as
an example:
Fig.2.6.Programming System
Work piece being dimensioned in the Incremental system mode (Icon Corporation).
• A “X plus” (X+) command will cause the cutting tool to be located to the
right of the last point.
• An “X minus” (X-) command will cause the cutting tool to be located to the left
Note: All dimensions are given from a known point of reference (Icon Corporation)onthe
work piece is givens a certain distance from the zero or reference point.
• A “X plus” (X+) command will cause the cutting tool to be located to the
right of the zero or origin point.
• A “X minus” (X-) command will cause the cutting tool to be located to the left
of the zero or origin point.
The absolute system has two significant advantages over the incremental system:
Interruptions caused by, for example, tool breakage (or tool change, or checking
the parts), and would not affect the position at the interruption. If a tool is to be replaced
at some stage, the operator manually moves the table, exchanges the tool, and has to
return the table to the beginning of the segment in which the interruption has occurred. In
the absolute mode, the tool is automatically returned to the position. In incremental mode,
it is almost impossible to bring it precisely to that location unless you repeat the part
program2. Easy change of dimensional data
The incremental mode has two advantages over the absolute mode.
• Inspection of the program is easier because the sum of position commands for
each axis must be zero. A nonzero sum indicates an error. Such an inspection
is impossible with the absolute system.
• Mirror image programming (for example, symmetrical geometry of the parts) is
simple bychanging the signs of the position commands.
operations is evaluated. Third, the tool path is calculated. Fourth, a program is written.
Each line of the program, referred to as a block, contains the required data for transfer
from one point to the next.
used, and the feed rate is increased. For cutting around the inside of a circle, the
minus sign is used, and the feed rate is decreased.
Spindle speed, S
Programmed in rev/min, it is expressed as RPM or by a three-digit code
number that is related to the RPM.
Tool word, T Consisting of a maximum of five digits, each cutting tool has a
differentcode number. The tool is automatically selected by the automatic tool
changer when the code number is programmed in a block.
Miscellaneous Function, M
Consisting of two digits, this word relates to the movement of the machine
in terms of spindle on/off, coolant on/off etc.
EOB
The EOB character is used at the end of each block to complete a line

CHAPTER:4
HISTORY AND DEVELOPEMENT OF CNC MACHINES
History of NC Machines:
As the benefits to NC machining became more apparent between 1958 and 1960,
aerospace company managers started to place their orders for the new equipment, and some
even began to build their own machines. NC machines soon after began competing with
manual machines like the manual mill in Figure.4.1. In many shops, manual machines have
been retrofitted with CNC, like the mill in Figure.4.2.NC machines quickly displayed their
worth. They were more accurate, held better tolerances, and produced more uniform
dimensions than the manual machining methods of the day. In addition to increasing
accuracy, NC machines reduced the amount of non-productive time in the machining cycle.
reader, like the one in would rewind back to the beginning of the program. With further
development of small computers, machine tool builders began using computers to control
machine tools. The term CNC was born. CNC machines can now hold hundreds of
programs in memory. Any one of these programs can be instantly called up for execution
through a control panel like the one in figure.4.4. Many CNC machines also contain
multiple tools, as shown in figure.4.5.This greatly boosts productivity.
NC machines read and executed one line of The machine operator calls and
executes Code at a time from a part program punched a part program from the control
panel. Into paper are Mylar tapes.
In every CNC use, a programmer plans the best way to cut the work piece and then
codes the movement of the tool. These instructions are interpreted by the computer
controller. The controller then ensures that every part is handled in exactly the same
manner for both small and large production runs. This process eliminates guesswork and
the downtime involved while a human operator decides the best method for machining a
part in the middle of production
• Punch presses: Punching, or stamping, can apply large forces to sheet metal to
create holes or bends. Some punch presses have one tool, as shown in fig.4.10.
• Welders: There are several types of welding. The welder applies heat and a filler
to fasten the pieces together.
You will also find CNC systems in operations that involve robotics, laser cutting,
automatic testing machines, drafting systems, electronic assembly systems, and more.
As you can see, computers have proven very useful in many aspects of manufacturing.
Fig.4.9. A CNC grinder creates a smoother Fig.4.10. A CNC punch press uses one
The history starts with early efforts to automate industrial machinery such as looms.
1801-Jacquard Loom
The Jacquard loom is a mechanical loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard, first
demonstrated in 1801, that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with complex
patterns using punch cards.
1810-Milling Machine
Machines which make use of rotary filing are developed for metalworking.
1820-Cams
The first electrical power tool, the wood router inaugurated the idea of bringing
the tool to the piece being worked, a concept central to CNC.
Adding power to Cams didn't address the matter of controlling the position
accurately under all possible circumstances. Servomechanisms and seasons allowed the
machine to provide measurement information as it worked, increasing accuracy.
1940-Tracer Control
Adding hydraulics to Cams allowed for the use of a stylus to trace a template
controlling a machine which would cut a part to match.
1946-Numerical Control
M.I.T. instead attempted to develop a machine on their own, but Parsons filed for
a patent on "Motor Controlled Apparatus for Positioning Machine Tool" on 5 May 1952,
sparking a filing by MIT for a "Numerical Control Servo-System" on 14 August 1952.
Parsons received US Patent 2,820,187 on 14 January 1958, and the company sold an
exclusive license to Bendix. IBM, Fujitsuand General Electric all took sub-licenses after
having already started development of their own devices.
M.I.T. continued with their development, using roller chains to manipulate the
machine along three axes (X, Y, and Z) and used standard 7-track punch tape for input.
1953-Proliferation of NC
The Air Force Numeric Control and Milling Machine projects formally concluded
in 1953, but development continued at the Giddings and Lewis Machine Tool Co. and
other locations.
1955-G-Code/Magnetic Tape
Electronic control was added with the use of magnetic tapes to record and play
back calculated machine paths, which are described using the nascent G-code.
The Automatically Programmed Tool project and the report, then later project,
Computer- Aided Design: A Statement of Objectives 1960 of Douglas T. Ross were the first
CAD systems.
The falling price of computers and the rising costs of labour resulted in a
proliferation of CNC machines using PDP-8s and the Data General Nova.
First concept developed for the manufacture of helicopter blades Alongside Frank
L. Stulen, John T. Parsons‟ first utilized computer methods to overcome machining
setbacks, especially the accurate interpolation of the curves found in helicopter blades. In
the process of developing smoother rotors, Parsons and Stuller generated an early version
of a Numerical Control (NC) machine.
While the US Air Force halted its funding in 1953 due to expense, the project was
resumed by Giddings and Lewis Machine Tool Co. who reduced expense but improved
quality and efficiency.
The first CNC machine was developed when John Runyon managed to produce
punch tapes under computer control. By doing this, he managed to reduce the normal
production time of 8 hours down to 15 minutes. By 1956, the US Air Force had accepted
the proposal to produce a generalized programming language for NC.
The invention of CNC machines paved the way for automated tools that enabled
efficient production for manufacturers. Today’s CNC machines bear little difference with
the original machines in terms of concept. Both produce outputs in three dimensional
directions: X and Y axes and depth.
The types of CNC machine that exist today include the following:
CNC turning lathes–CNC turning lathes produce parts by turning rod materials
andfeeding a cutting tool into the turning material.
CNC milling machines –Using a rotating cylindrical cutting tool, CNC Milling utilizes
amachining process similar to both drilling and cutting. The cutter in a milling machine has
the ability to move along multiple axes and can create a variety of shapes, slots and holes
CNC routers - CNC routers are similar to handheld routers but the tool paths are
insteadcontrolled via computer numerical control. CNC routers can be used for cutting
various hard materials including wood, composites, aluminium, steel, plastics and foams.
In conventional lathe, all the operations are manual. Changing tool, moving the
tool post, adjusting feed, depth of cut etc. must be done manually.
In CNC lathe, all these operations can be programmed and saved it in the machine.
You can machine as many parts as you want. You need to load the work piece and press
CYCLE START. The machining work is performed based on your program automatically.
CNC lathes - High precision CNC lathes even for the most complicated parts.
Various modern options for perfect efficiency.
Conventional Lathes are the pioneer of manufacturing. The operations like knurling,
drilling, facing, cut-off, boring etc. are done .In all the above mentioned operations ,gear
shifting for speed(Belt changing in case of Belt lathes which are out of date),tool changing,
feeding the work piece etc. are done by the machine operator manually. Also the high
accuracy of microns cannot be achieved in conventional machines.
CNC standing for computer numerical control is the present market trend. CNC
turning centers are those machines where the operations of tool changing, Speed etc. are
controlled automatically through the programmers. In case of turning centers, only the
work piece had to be fed to the machine and the operations are carried automatically.

ACTUAL PROJECT WORK
AIM
Designing of a profile and Manufacturing the desired profile by using CNC Smart run Lathe
machine.
DESCRIPTION
The profile is designed by using SINUMERIK 828D software. In this software we gave
the required dimensions of the profile that we want to produce by using CNC Lathe machine. The
design of this profile is given by the manual or cycle program in the software. After giving the
program, the program is been simulated before executing in the CNC machine.
Basic profile design of the profile using AUTOCAD is shown in the figure below:

Fig.5.5. 3D simulation
HALF-CUT SIMULATION
After designing the profile using the SINUERIK 828D Software it is simulated in the
different views as shown in the above figures. The program for this profile design is copied
and pasted in the actual CNC Lathe machine for execution.
Before manufacturing the given profile the following points should be followed:
• Measure the diameter and length of the given work piece that is to be manufactured.
• Clamp the work piece within the chucks tightly.
• Start the spindle by giving command in MDI mode to check
whether the work piece clamped properly or not.
• Clamp the tools in the tool holder that are used for manufacturing the given profile.
• Measure the tool offset manually through JOG mode and fixes the X and Z axis.
• Give the command to move the X axis and Z axis to the work piece with
less federate. If the tool doesn’t make any error and reaches the work piece
zero point then the tool offset given is correct. Now bring the X axis and Z axis
to the reference point by using REFERENCE mode.
• Now the machine is ready to design the given profile.
The work piece used is aluminium for profile manufacturing is shown in the below figure:
The work piece dimensions before manufacturing the profile is as follows,
80mm diameter 200mm Length
All dimensions are in mm.
CHAPTER: 6
CONCLUSION:
The Indian CNC systems though have made a beginning with both imported
technologies and indigenous development, the technologies adopted in this field are
comparatively outdated and do not incorporate recent development and, also, are found to
be wanting in terms of meantime between failures. There is a high degree of obsolescence
in this area. It is an acknowledged fact that latest developments inthese fields are not
effectively transferred by advanced countries, under the normal technology transfer.
Under these circumstances, a long term strategy for keeping abreast in this important
sphere, by self-reliant efforts, needs to be speedily evolved.
