Parametric programming has been the best-kept secret of CNC. This book demystifies this simple yet sophisticated programming tool in an easy-to-understand tutorial format, and presents a comprehensive how-to of parametric programming from a user's point of view.
Focusing on three of the most popular versions of parametric programming--Fanuc's custom macro B, Okuma's user task 2, and Fadal's macro--the book describes what parametric programming is, what it can do, and how it does it more efficiently than manual programming. Along with a host of program-simplifying techniques included in the book, you're treated to descriptions of how to write, set-up and run general subprograms, simulate the addition of control options, and integrate higher level programming capabilities at G-code level.
