b. What is the role of MCU in NC system? and state the methods of data input to MCU.
c. With neat sketches only, illustrate tool offset setting in CNC M/Cs using G42 and G41.

Question 2 (30 Marks)

Write a G-code program with automatic tool
offsets for the shown part to:
a. Mill the outer profile with full depth from
P1 in CCW direction.
b. Mill 2 slots with full depth.
c. Drill 4 through holes using suitable
Drilling Canned Cycle.
d. List the used tools.

Question 3 (20 Marks)

Using subprogram call, write a G-
Code Program to mill the three
identical H- slots in the shown part.

Question 4 (10 Marks)
a. What is meant by APT? then define the different APT statements?
b. With aid of neat sketch: -
1. Compare between three types of check surface’s motion modifier words.
2. Basic movements in the turning machine.
3. GOFWD/L1, PAST, 2, INTOF, C1.

Question 5 (30 Marks)

a. Write a complete part program using APT to mill
the outer profile, starting from the bottom left-
hand corner in counterclockwise direction, of the
given part using feed of 0.8 mm/rev, speed 1150
rpm (CCW), and Postprocessor call statement is
MACHINE/MILL, 07. Use flat type end mill of
Ø10 mm.
b. Write a part program using APT-MACRO to drill
the 6 through holes, Ø8 mm in the part, use twist
drill of Ø8 mm. (Part thickness is 20 mm).

Question 6 (20 Marks)

The component shown in the Figure is to be machined using a CNC lathe. Prepare the part
program to completely machine the part from a rolled stock of diameter 100 mm and length 200
mm using turning canned cycles. Clearly show the program zero, axes on the drawing, and
assume a proper value of process parameters.
