One of the most productive tools in the CNC world today is going largely
unused! Indeed, most CNC users have never even heard of
parametric programming,
yet virtually all have excellent applications for it that will not only
streamline their operations, but cut time, cost, and complexity from every
machining cycle they run. Until now, parametric programming has been the best
kept secret of CNC!
In Parametric Programming for CNC Machine Tools and Touch Probes, CNC expert
and author Mike Lynch de-mystifies this simple yet sophisticated programming
tool. In an easy-to-understand tutorial format, he presents a comprehensive
how-to of parametric programming from a user's point of view. Focusing on the
three most popular versions of parametric programming Å Fanuc's custom
macro B, Okuma's user task, and Fadal's macro Å this book describes what
parametric programming is, what it can do, and how it does it more efficiently
than manual programming.
Part one of the book introduces you to the many features and benefits of
parametric programming and how to apply them to improve the general utilization
of your CNC machine tools. Part two shows you how to write parametric programs
to drive your probing systems.
Including many real-world example programs and applications, this text shows
how to identify applications for parametric programming and realize the
dramatic gains it affords. For the CNC user wanting to stay at the cutting edge
of manufacturing technology, this book is essential.
