The cnc router is used to cut and engrave materials, including wood, density board, plywood, leather, kt board, pvc, acrylic, etc. The cnc router can process all kinds of billboards, industrial products, advertising characters, etc. When the cnc router is in use, programming will be involved.

What are the programming software for cnc router?

JDpaint, Artcam, Wentai, Type3, MasterCAM, Cimatron, PowerMill, UG, PROE, etc.

What are the programming methods for cnc router?

1. Manual programming is the process of manual programming of parts.

2. Automatic programming refers to the method of using the automatic programming system composed of the computer and its peripheral equipment to complete the programming work, also known as the computer-aided programming.

Features of programming mode of cnc router?

1. Manual programming: Regarding the parts with less complex geometric shapes, the programming workload is small, the processing procedures are not many, the chance of missteps is very small, it is fast, light, and does not require special premises (responsive hardware and software), special It is in the programming of CNC lathes. Manual programming is still commonly used in the contour processing of points, straight lines and arcs. The manual programming is the main content of the CNC lathe processing programming. Even in the future of rapid growth of automatic programming, the main position of manual programming is not a substitute, and it is still the foundation of automatic programming.

2. Automatic programming: Regarding complex parts, such as the processing appearance of some non-circular curves and curved surfaces, perhaps the geometric shape of the parts is actually not complicated, but the workload of the programming is very large, and it may be parts that require complicated processes and procedures. , Because the numerical calculation in the processing and programming process is extremely cumbersome and the programming workload is large. If manual programming is used, it is often time-consuming and inefficient, and the miss rate is high, or even impossible to complete. Therefore, automatic programming must be used in such situations. Methods. Compared with manual programming, this method has the advantages of reducing programming labor intensity, shortening programming time and improving programming quality. However, the cost of hardware and software setup equipment for automatic programming is relatively high, and it is used more in machining centers and CNC milling machines, and less used in CNC lathes.

Programming steps?

1. Data preparation.

PEPS software can directly read UG, CATIA, PRO-E and other files, and can also read files in DXF, IGS, STEP and other formats, so we don’t need to perform special conversion on the model. It is worth mentioning that the software only recognizes the absolute coordinates of the model when it reads the model, while for auto models, the absolute coordinates of the general model are the coordinates of the car body. Although the model can be turned to a suitable position through a series of movement and rotation commands in the PEPS software, it is not as fast and intuitive as the change in UG, CATIA and other software, so some people suggest to change the relative coordinates of the original model Converted to absolute coordinates.

2. Programming and simulation.

As mentioned earlier, because the software is going with machine , and all the parameters of the machine are preset in the software, after importing the digital model, we only need to do a simple operation to move the product digital model to the predetermined position (usually the machine tool). center). Considering that the workpiece may be deformed during the cutting process, we have to cut in a certain order, that is, hole first, contour, first inside and then outside, and select the processing steps in turn. As long as we choose to finish, the software will automatically calculate the program. . In principle, the software will automatically complete without cutting, collision, and overtravel, but sometimes manual modification is required. However, the software is still relatively intelligent and easy to operate. It only takes a few simple steps to complete the program modification. .

After the program is calculated, we can perform simulation processing on the program.
