1.1 OBJECTIVE:

To perform clockwise circular arc interpolation using CNC programming on a given work piece on
CNC Milling machine tool.

1.2 THEORY:

Circular interpolation defines the path which tool travel during machining operation. Tool travel in two
ways one is linear and another in the non-linear paths with respect to the work piece, the non-linear
motion of the tool is treated as circular if the path traveled is form a circular shape.
This can be understand from the diagram given in the table below

1.3 PROCEDURE:

Step 1: Make the line diagram on your notebook.

Step2: Write rough program on notebook. Now write this program in HTML file on your
computer.

Step 3: Connect the machine with computer with the help of key provided.

Step 4: Run the machining software. Import the written program in the software.

Step 5: Run the program without connecting the machine , simulation will run and show you the
path of the tool is proper or not.

Step 6: Place the work piece in machine and clamp it.

Step 7: Run the program with connection to the machine and get finished job.

Step 8: Switch off and clean the machine and handover the key to the leb instructor.
