The programming of CNC lathe systems is usually not exactly the same , but there are commonalities in the underlying logic (such as the G-code standard). The differences mainly lie in the instruction format, function expansion, operation interface and post-processing configuration . The following is the specific analysis:
I. Core Differences
Youdaoplaceholder0 Instruction format and extended functions
Youdaoplaceholder0 FANUC system : Commonly uses G71/G72 loop instructions, supports G10 programmable data input, suitable for batch processing.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Siemens system : It adopts the CYCLE95 cycle and supports dynamic calculation of R parameters, making it more suitable for processing complex curved surfaces.
Youdaoplaceholder0 New generation system : Integrated macro library, which can directly call the drilling/tapping subroutines, simplifying the programming process.
Youdaoplaceholder0 guangshu/huazhong system : Optimized for the domestic market, it supports Chinese prompts and a simple programming interface, lowering the operational threshold.
Youdaoplaceholder0 operation interface and interaction logic
High-end systems (such as Siemens 840D) support 3D simulation and emulation , allowing real-time preview of processing paths;
Economical systems (such as Guangshu GSK980TDi) adopt a paginated menu , which is suitable for quick learning.
Youdaoplaceholder0 post-processing configuration
Different systems need to be matched with the corresponding Post Processor to convert the common code generated by the CAM software into a format recognizable by the machine tool. For example:
The standard G-code generated by Mastercam needs to be adjusted for the FANUC system.
UG NX needs to be configured with dedicated post-processing for Siemens systems.
Ii. Commonality Foundation
Youdaoplaceholder0 G code standard : ISO standard directives (such as G00/G01/G02) are universal in all systems, but some functions (such as fixed loops) require reference to the system manual.
Youdaoplaceholder0 programming thinking : Both must follow the logic of "process decomposition → tool path planning → parameter setting", which is suitable for transfer learning.
Iii. Innovative Application Scenarios
Using the AI programming module of Fusion 360, automatically identify the features of parts and generate multi-system compatible codes;
Historical programs are collected through MachineMetrics, and machine learning is used to optimize cutting parameters (such as feed rate and rotational speed).
Youdaoplaceholder0 cross-system code conversion tool :
Try out G-code converters (such as NC Corrector) to batch convert FANUC code to Simmon subformat and reduce repetitive work.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Action proposal :
Identify the model of the machine tool system (such as FANUC 0i-TF/ Siemens 828D) and refer to the corresponding programming manual;
First, master the general G-code, and then learn the system's distinctive features (such as macro programs and parameter programming) in a targeted manner.
Try to generate the basic code using (such as the ChatGPT+CAM plugin), and then manually adjust the details.
Is it necessary to further explore the specific programming techniques of a certain type of system and application cases in programming optimization?
