Development of a Universal Software Application for Programming Canned Cycles on CNC Turning and Milling Machine Tools

This paper describes an approach to creating a universal software application for programming canned cycles on CNC turning and milling machine tools. The problem related to ensuring trust in CNC systems, relatively reliable operation of software applications (namely canned cycles) when transferring part programs to various CNC systems is described. A solution is presented that allows you to create custom canned cycles using a set of variables. Based on the analysis of the features of macro programming, logical and parametric relationships have been established that ensure the interaction of installation macro programs, subprograms and machining cycles in the CNC processor system. The proposed solution provides the ability to quickly transfe the control code of the canned cycle into the syntax of different CNC systems. The results of testing the created application on the Fanuc and "AxiOMA Control" CNC systems are demonstrated. The proposed solution allows the preparation of control programs for CNC machines through the graphical interface of cross-platform tools on devices based on Windows and Android operating systems.
