Most training in numerical control today is done on-the-job. Machinists and machine operators learn how to run CNC machines from more experienced machinists who show them techniques for operating, setting up and programming. These techniques are introduced in a logical sequence; this book attempts to parallel that method as much as possible. Information is first provided on how to operate a machine, and then how to program it, so that much of the initial bewilderment that occurs when learning numerical control is eliminated. This introductory CNC text is positioned for use in hands-on training situations, emphasizing CNC tooling and set-up, entry-level programming, and industry standard controls and programmes.
