Abstract

This paper takes advantage of the powerful capabilities of modern CNC controllers such as sub-programming and parametrization to demonstrate the efficiency improvement of machining operations as a result of applying them in short, flexible and smart CNC programs. To show the benefits of using the above capabilities over conventional G/M programming language, three representative applications are presented through manufacturing drawings, flowcharts, program lists and simulation results. As it is deduced by all three cases, sub-programming and parametrization facilitates the full exploitation of the potential of a CNC machine and makes CNC machines easier to work with.
