CNC Advanced

Advanced CNC topics: NC program structure, macro programming and custom cycles – in-depth knowledge for experienced CNC programmers and machinists.

This chapter covers advanced topics around NC code. You will learn how an NC program is structured and how macro programming and custom cycles let you solve recurring tasks efficiently. The content is aimed at anyone who has mastered the basics and wants to dive deeper into CNC programming.

NC code structure

The structure of an NC program explained: program start, tool call, approach, machining and program end – with a commented G-code example from CAM output.

Custom tilt cycle

Build a custom tilt cycle without G68.2 or PLANE SPATIAL: read work offsets via macro variables and compute the shifted zero point with rotation matrices.
