“ CNC machining proceeds in the following steps: Design and preparation: Create CAD models and digital programming. Select suitable cutting tools and fixtures according to processing requirements. Program compiling: Write machining programs via CAM software or G-code, M-code. ”

CNC machining consists of the following steps:

Design and Preparation

Build CAD models of parts and complete digital programming.

Select appropriate cutting tools and fixtures based on machining demands.

Program Compilation

Write machining programs with CAM software or programming codes such as G-code and M-code.

Set tool paths, cutting conditions and motion parameters in line with machine coordinate system and processing standards.

Workpiece Clamping

Fix the workpiece on the workbench or tool magazine using matched fixtures.

Machining Preparation

Install qualified tools, then measure and calibrate tool length and radius.

Adjust cutting speed, feed rate, cutting depth and other processing parameters.

Machining Execution

Start the machine and load the machining program.

The CNC system drives tools to cut along preset trajectories.

Monitor cutting force, temperature and precision, and adjust parameters or replace tools as needed.

Machining Completion

The machine stops automatically or proceeds to subsequent work after finishing scheduled cutting.

Inspect and measure finished workpieces to meet quality standards.

Data Recording

Document processing parameters, tool usage and machining results.

Save and back up programs and relevant data regularly.

The above is a general overview. Actual procedures vary by machine type and workpiece requirements.
