THE CNC VIRTUAL AS TEACHING AND TRAINING AID OF CNC PROGRAMMING

Abstrak / Ringkasan

CNC machine tools is the most important practical means of teaching and training of CNC Programming in
Vocational High School. Its relatively-high price causes the incapabibilty of the school for getting it, so the
teaching of CNC programming in Vocational High School mostly doesn’t use CNC machine. The effect is many
students can’t reach the standard competence of applied CNC programming.
The unavailability of CNC machine tools in teaching of CNC programming in Vocational High School is treated
by using CNC Simulator. The CNC Simulator consist Virtual CNC, and CNC Machine Simulator. It’is a media
to simulate of NC Part Program execution..The simulation of NC Part Program execution are displayed tool path
a machining process at monitor. NC Part Program has been simulated can be sent to unit control of CNC
Machine Simulator.
Implementation of CNC Simulator in teaching and training of CNC programming begins from building CNC
Virtual. The CNC Virtual is a software which provides a visual effect of environment of CNC machine in the
monitor. The building uses Research and Development (R&D) method. Implementation of CNC Simulator in
teaching of CNC programming shows; (1) the students are very interested and excited to use the virtual CNC
which provides a visual effect of environment of CNC machine in the monitor, actively trying the simulation of
numpad virtual in the monitor, inputting data on the panel virtual, and making simulation or execution of the
CNC program at CNC Machine Simulator, (2) the students practice to make and execute the CNC programming
individually in the classroom or outdoor class. (3) CNC Virtual can be used as teaching and training media
classically (in classroom), individually learning, even e-learning.
