CNC Milling Code Example

Welcome to our CNC milling code example blog! In this article, we will explore the world of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling and provide a detailed example of a CNC milling code. CNC milling is a popular manufacturing process in which a computer-controlled machine removes material from a workpiece to create complex shapes and designs. It is widely used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

Understanding CNC Milling

Before diving into the example code, let's briefly understand how CNC milling works. In CNC milling, a cutting tool rotates at high speeds while the workpiece remains fixed on a table. The cutting tool gradually removes material from the workpiece based on precise instructions provided in the CNC code. This code controls various aspects of the milling process, including tool paths, feed rates, and spindle speeds.

CNC Milling Code Example

Now, let's take a look at a sample CNC milling code:

G90 ; Set to absolute positioning
G21 ; Set to metric units
G94 ; Set to feed rate per minute
M03 S1000 ; Start spindle at 1000 RPM

; Tool change
T01 M06 ; Select tool 1
S6000 ; Set spindle speed to 6000 RPM
G43 H01 ; Apply tool length compensation

; Milling operations
G00 X0 Y0 Z10 ; Rapid move to starting position
G01 Z-5 F100 ; Lower tool to a depth of 5mm at a feed rate of 100mm/min
G02 X50 Y50 I25 J0 ; Mill a circular arc from (0,0) to (50,50) with a center at (25,0)
G01 Z0 ; Raise tool back to the surface

; End program
M05 ; Stop spindle
M30 ; Program end and reset

This code example demonstrates various CNC milling commands for setup, tool change, and milling operations. It starts by setting the machine to absolute positioning (G90) and metric units (G21). The feed rate is set to per minute (G94), and the spindle is started at 1000 RPM (M03 S1000). The tool change is performed using the M06 command to select tool 1, followed by setting the spindle speed to 6000 RPM (S6000). Tool length compensation is applied using G43 H01.

The milling operations begin with a rapid move (G00) to the starting position (X0 Y0 Z10). The tool is then lowered to a depth of 5mm (Z-5) at a feed rate of 100mm/min (F100) using a linear interpolation command (G01). A circular arc is milled from (0,0) to (50,50) with a center at (25,0) using the G02 command. Finally, the tool is raised back to the surface (Z0).

The program ends by stopping the spindle (M05) and resetting the machine (M30).

Conclusion

CNC milling is a versatile and precise manufacturing process that allows for the creation of complex shapes and designs. The CNC milling code example provided in this blog showcases some of the basic commands and operations involved in CNC milling. By understanding and utilizing CNC milling codes effectively, manufacturers can achieve high-quality and efficient machining results.
