THE CNC VIRTUAL AS TEACHING AND TRAINING AID OF CNCudPROGRAMMING

摘要

CNC machine tools is the most important practical means of teaching and training of CNC Programming inudVocational High School. Its relatively-high price causes the incapabibilty of the school for getting it, so theudteaching of CNC programming in Vocational High School mostly doesn’t use CNC machine. The effect is manyudstudents can’t reach the standard competence of applied CNC programming.udThe unavailability of CNC machine tools in teaching of CNC programming in Vocational High School is treatedudby using CNC Simulator. The CNC Simulator consist Virtual CNC, and CNC Machine Simulator. It’is a mediaudto simulate of NC Part Program execution..The simulation of NC Part Program execution are displayed tool pathuda machining process at monitor. NC Part Program has been simulated can be sent to unit control of CNCudMachine Simulator.udImplementation of CNC Simulator in teaching and training of CNC programming begins from building CNCudVirtual. The CNC Virtual is a software which provides a visual effect of environment of CNC machine in theudmonitor. The building uses Research and Development (R&D) method. Implementation of CNC Simulator inudteaching of CNC programming shows; (1) the students are very interested and excited to use the virtual CNCudwhich provides a visual effect of environment of CNC machine in the monitor, actively trying the simulation ofudnumpad virtual in the monitor, inputting data on the panel virtual, and making simulation or execution of theudCNC program at CNC Machine Simulator, (2) the students practice to make and execute the CNC programmingudindividually in the classroom or outdoor class. (3) CNC Virtual can be used as teaching and training mediaudclassically (in classroom), individually learning, even e-learning.
