36、ical Control (NC) is a form of programmable automation in which the processing equipment is controlled by means of numbers, letters, and other symbols. The numbers, letters, and symbols are coded in an appropriate format to define a program of instructions for a particular workpart or job. When the

37、job changes, the program of instructions is changed. The capability to change the program is what makes NC suitable for low-and medium-volume production. It is much easier to write new programs than to make major alterations of the processing equipment. （1）数控是程序控制的自动化，在数字控制系统中，设备通过数字，字母和符号来编码，以一种合适的

38、格式为每一个特定的零件或工件定义一个程序指令集。当工件变化时，程序也变化，改变程序的能力也就是适合中小批量生产。写一个新程序比改变大量生产设备要容易的多。Basic Components of NCA numerical control system consists of the following three basic components:.program of instructions.Machine control unit.Processing equipment基本结构：数控系统由下面三部分组成：1.控制程序；2.机器控制单元；3.加工设备。The general relati

39、onship among the three components is illustrated in Fig.2.1 The program is fed into the control unit, which directs the processing equipment accordingly.三部分的基本关系，由图2.1 所示。程序输入到控制单元由送入的程序来引导加工设备控制。The program of instructions is the detailed step-by-step commands that direct the processing equipment.

40、In its most common form, the commands refer to positions of machine tool spindle with respect to the worktable on which the part is fixture. More advanced instructions include selection of spindle speeds, cutting tools, and other functions. The program is coded on a suitable medium for submission to

41、 the machine control unit. The most common medium in sue over the last several decades has been 1-in.-wide punched tape. Because of the widespread sue of the punched tape, NC is sometimes called “tape control”. However, this is a misnomer in modern usage of numerical control. Coming into use more re

42、cently have been magnetic tape cassettes and floppy diskettes.指导程序是一步步详细的指导加工设备的指令。通常指令把主轴上刀具相对于安装工具的工作台定位。更多先进的说明包括主轴的转速，加工工具的选择及其功能。程序刻在合适的介质中，提交到机器控制单元中，在过去几十年中，最常用的介质是一英寸宽的打孔纸带。由于打孔纸带的广泛使用，NC 有时也叫纸带控制，然而这是现代数控使用的误称。现在进入使用更多的是磁带和软盘。The machine control unit (MCU) consists of the electronics and co

43、ntrol hardware that read and interpret the program of instruction and convert it into mechanical actions of the machine tool or other processing equipment.机器控制单元（MUC）由电子和控制硬件组成，机器控制单元可以读出和执行指令程序，可以自动改变加工工具和其他加工设备。The processing equipment is the third basic component of an NC system. It is the compon

44、ent that performs useful work. In the most common example of numerical control, one that performs machining operations, the processing equipment consists of the worktable and spindle as well as the motors and controls needed to drive them.执行单元是数控系统的第三基础部分，执行原件是有效执行工作的原件，最常见的数控例子其中的一个加工操作，加工设备由工作台和主轴

45、组成，就像用电动机来驱动一样。加工设备由控制单元来驱动控制系统的类型。Types of Control Systems控制系统的类型There are two basic types of control systems in numerical control: point-to-point and contouring. In the point-to-point system, also called positioning, each axis of the machine is driven separately by leadscrews and, depending on the

46、 type of operation, at different velocities.数控有2种基本类型，点对点式和轮廓式控制，点对点式控制也称定位控制，每个轴都是通过丝杠单独驱动，根据加工类型不同，加工速度也不一样。The machine moves initially at maximum velocity in order to reduce nonproductive time but decelerates as the tool reaches its numerically defined position. 机器开始以最大速度运行来减少非加工时间，但当他达到数据定义的位置时，

47、机器开始减速。Thus in an operation such as drilling or punching, the positioning and cutting take place sequentially.因此在一个操作中，如钻或冲孔操作先定位再加工。After the hole is drilled of punched, the tool retracts, moves rapidly to another position, and repeats the operation. 在钻或冲孔之后，迅速收起工具移动到另一个位置重复此操作。The path followed fr

48、om one position to another is important in only one aspect: The time required should be minimized for efficiency.从一个位置移到另一个位置是非常重要的，要遵循一个原则，从效率上考虑只要时间最短即可。Point-to point systems are used mainly in drilling, punching, and straight milling operations.点对点系统主要用于钻，冲孔，直铣操作中。In the contouring system, also

49、known as the continuous path system, positioning and cutting operations are both along controlled paths but at different velocities. Because the tool cuts as it travels along a prescribed path, accurate control and synchronization of velocities and movements are important.轮廓式也就是连续路径式系统，定位和切削同时按不同速度来控制，由于刀具在指定路线运动同时切削，因此速度和运动的同步控制是非常重要的。The contouring system is used on lathes
