A. CAM is an acronym for Computer Aided Manufacturing. CAM is a software package which is used for programming motion, commonly in terms of X,Y,Z,A,B, or C axis motion, on CNC machine tool equipment. A. A structure entity which defines a logical link or relationship between different entities. Simple put, if you change an entity that has been dimensioned, the dimension will be updated. A. CNC is an acronym for Computerized Numerical Control.
Most machine tools are numerically control utilizing a programming technique called g-code.
Combining g-code with X,Y,Z,A,B,C, I,J,K values and others, programs can be created to drive controlled motion to the machine tool. What do IJK represent in a NC program. A. IJK provide information about the centers of arcs in CNC Programs. Various controls interpret I,J,K in different ways. For example, some controls use I,J,K as the actual absolute coordinates of the center of the arc.
