ISO G codes and M codes for CNC turning

 


G-codes and M-codes are fundamental to programming Computer Numerical Control (CNC) turning machines. They form the language used to instruct the machine on what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. While G-codes (preparatory codes) primarily dictate the geometry and motion of the cutting tool, M-codes (miscellaneous codes) control auxiliary functions of the machine.   

G-Codes for CNC Turning (Preparatory Codes)

G-codes tell the CNC turning machine what kind of motion to perform. They define the path, speed, and type of movement. Here's a detailed look at some common and important G-codes used in CNC turning:

CNC program transfer through electronic media.

The transfer of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programs to machines through electronic media is a critical aspect of modern manufacturing, enabling efficiency, accuracy, and automation. Over the years, various electronic methods have evolved, each with its own advantages and applications.   Here are the primary means of CNC program transfer through electronic media: 1. RS-232 Serial Communication (DNC - Direct Numerical Control) The RS-232 serial interface is historically the most common method for connecting CNC machines to external devices, such as computers. Functionality: Program Transfer: CNC programs (G-code) are sent character by character over a serial cable (typically a DB9 or DB25 connector). Drip Feeding: For older CNC machines with limited internal memory, RS-232 is used for "drip feeding" or "Direct Numerical Control (DNC)." In this mode, the program is stored on a computer, and blocks of the program are sent to the CNC machine's buffer as...
