Programación en máquinas de control numérico utilizando macros para piezas con operaciones de cajeado, taladrado, ranurado, contorneado y planeado.

Abstract

The project focused on a family of parts with similar geometries, specifically an extrusion mold plate. The main objective was the implementation of CNC macros for various operations, including drilling, grooving, planing, pocketing, and contouring. To achieve this, conventional G-code programs were developed for each of these operations on the same part, establishing specific measurements and parameters. Subsequently, these programs were compared to the CNC macros designed to perform the same tasks on the same part. Comprehensive evaluations of the results obtained from both programming methodologies were conducted. These comparisons allowed for determining the advantages and disadvantages of using one approach over the other in terms of efficiency, precision, production time, and ease of maintenance.The project's conclusions were based on these comparisons and provided valuable insights into when and how to use CNC macros instead of conventional programming, and vice versa, based on specific production needs. This could include recommending the use of CNC macros for repetitive and standardized operations, while conventional programming might be preferable for more complex or customized cases. In summary, the project focused on optimizing the production of a family of parts by implementing CNC macros and comparing their results with conventional programming, which allowed for determining when each approach is more suitable and what their respective advantages and disadvantages are.
