Development of Software for Chip Disposal with NC Turning

摘要

In order to dispose of chips produced by the NC turning process, an attempt was made to develop programming software which controls the function of intermittently decelerated feed by means of a personal computer. Satisfactory results were obtained. Since the conditions can be varied at will on the basis of the input data, conditions corresponding to the chosen work material are entered as input to create NC tapes containing optimum conditions for chip disposal. Moreover, intermittently decelerated feed was successful not only in improving chip disposal, but also in achieving better finished surface roughness. 4 refs., 6 figs. (ERA citation 13:054558)
