Incremental and Absolute Programming Sy stem
• CNC programming • Two types of programming modes, the incremental and the absolute , are used for CNC. Both systems have utilities in CNC programming, and no system is either right or wrong all the time. • Incremental program • Incremental program locations are provided as the distance and direction from the immediately previous point • A (X+) command will lead the cutting tool to be located to the right of the last point. • A (X-) command will cause the cutting tool to be located to the left of the final point. • A (Y+) command will let the cutting tool to be located towards the column. • A (Y-) will let the cutting tool to be located away from the column. • A (Z+) command will cause the cutting tool to move up or away from the workpiece. • A (Z-) moves the cutting tool down. • In incremental programming, the G91 command points to the PC and MCU that programming is in the incremental mode. http://crbtech.in/Student-Reviews/Mechanical-Reviews
• Absolute program • When programming in absolute, all of your coordinates and movement values will come from the origin (0,0) point. If you want it in Absolute, the G-code that explains this is G90, which is but a modal code. • Most CNC programs are written in absolute because it is easy to understand. How is it easy? If you to move a lot of coordinates , you always know where the center of the tool is in relation to the work offset. • The locations are always given from a single fixed zero or origin point. The origin point may be a position on the machine table. In absolute programming, each point or location on the workpiece is set as a certain distance from the zero or reference point. • A (X+) command will cause the cutting tool to be placed to the right of the zero or origin point. • A (X-) command will cause the cutting tool to be located to the left of the zero or origin point. • A (Y+) command will cause the cutting tool to be located toward the column. • A (Y-) command will cause the cutting tool to be located away from the column. http://crbtech.in/Student-Reviews/Mechanical-Reviews
