The cornerstone of CNC machine operating process is programming. Through programming you actually instruct machine how to move and what to do. For this, there are 2 crucial codes that each operator at CNC machine need to be familiar with – those are G codes and M codes. G code is in charge for machine motion and functions and it describes positions, while M codes directs machine actions (all outside of movements).
Each machine has its fix cycles and in all of these cycles we have some delays, disruptions. You need to be familiar with ways for solving these issues and ensuring smooth work of the CNC machine.
Now let’s learn how to write basic programs for work of the 3-axis machines.
