We are a professional Programmable CNC bending machine manufacturer with over 10 years of industry experience. Today, we would like to introduce to you:
Manual programming refers to the entire process from part drawing analysis to program verification being completed manually. Programmers need to be familiar with CNC code and programming rules, as well as possess knowledge of mechanical processing technology and numerical calculation ability. Manual programming is suitable for processing parts with less complex geometric shapes, as its programming for CNC bending machines is simple and easy to control. However, for complex parts, especially those with non-circular curves or list surfaces, manual programming may be difficult and prone to errors, making automatic programming a better choice.
Automatic programming is the process of completing most of the tasks in CNC machining programming through computers, including mathematical processing, machining simulation, etc. This method can reduce the labor intensity of programmers, shorten programming time, improve programming quality, and can handle complex part programming problems that are difficult to solve by manual programming for CNC bending machines. Automatic programming is mainly divided into methods such as verbal programming, graphical interactive programming, and speech programming. Graphic interactive programming is currently a commonly used method, which is based on CAD/CAM software to define machining graphics and set process parameters, and then the programming software automatically generates tool paths and CNC machining programs.
By following the above steps, the programming operation of the CNC bending machine can be effectively carried out to ensure the smooth progress of the machining process.
