Hello /sci/ friends, i wasn't too sure whether to make this thread here or on /diy/, but here goes the thread anyway, in the hopes that some of you might be able to instruct me on where to find some kind of useful literature regarding CNC machines.
I graduated from "Mechatronics and robotics" high school, but that was some 5 years ago, and all i can remember about CNC machines is the very basics of how they operate, the various head extensions they use, and the axis in which they can translate and rotate. I'm sad to say not much of the actual code remains in my memory, but i do have some faint recollection or rotational commands, and i remember the general format of insturctions:
(Name of Command) followed by (Spacial coordinates)
(Next command) followed by (Next coordinates)
and so on....
(please do correct me on the format if i'm mistaken)
What i want to know is is there a universal language or set of commands to be learned that are the same across all CNC machine models, or do they vary drastically from machine to machine? In other words, is there some kind of documentation out there that i can go through in order to catch up with the basics i need to start working as a CNC operator?
So, without waterboarding you further with irrelevant context, i would cordially ask you guys to dump whatever links or files might be useful for acquire CNC knowledge.
