Some common misconceptions
![Page 10: CNC Machines – clearing some misconceptions. Types of CNC machining.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e535503460f94b49cbc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Most industries do 3D, 5-axes machining.
A few low tech industries do 2D machining.
Misconception 1
![Page 11: CNC Machines – clearing some misconceptions. Types of CNC machining.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e535503460f94b49cbc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Which of these partsdo you see most oftenon shop floors ?
What type of machining do you mainly see in these firms ?
![Page 12: CNC Machines – clearing some misconceptions. Types of CNC machining.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e535503460f94b49cbc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Production machining accounts for 90 % of CNC milling.Die milling / 5-axes milling for 10 %.
![Page 13: CNC Machines – clearing some misconceptions. Types of CNC machining.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e535503460f94b49cbc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3D, 5-axes machining is 'high tech'.
2D machining is 'low tech'.
Misconception 2
![Page 14: CNC Machines – clearing some misconceptions. Types of CNC machining.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e535503460f94b49cbc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2D 3D
Cycle time reduction - importance High Low
Shop documents - importance High Low
Process - complexity High Low
Tool selection - complexity High Low
Part geometry - complexity Low High
Cutting parameters selection - complexity High Low
Nothing is 'high tech' or 'low tech'.Each type of machining has its own complexity.

CAM software designed for 3D / 5-axes machining can also program for 2D machining.
Misconception 3

CAM software for production machining
Must support wide variety of machining operationsMust support wide variety of toolsMust have features to reduce cycle timeMust have features to check and optimize spindle power usageMust generate shop documents automatically

CAM software requirement for each application is different.Same software cannot do both.
CAM software for 3D/5-axes machining
Must have 3D CADMust be able to machine complex surfaces

Programming is the main task in CNC machining.
Misconception 4

Programming is NOT the main task.Programming is just one of the steps.

Misconception : Most industries do programming by CAM software. Only a few small industries program manually.
Fact : Most industries program manually.

Skills required in industry
![Page 23: CNC Machines – clearing some misconceptions. Types of CNC machining.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e535503460f94b49cbc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The gap – institute to industry
Main cause of poor productivity on shop floors is lack of knowledge of tooling, cutting parameters selection.
Fact : 95 % of experienced CNC personnel on shop floors do not know the full form of the commonly used word 'carbide'.
Institutes concentrate on teaching programming, students think this is all that is required.
Fresh engineers are as a result useless in industry, take 6-12 months to learn required skills and be useful.
