necessary data of the CNC machine. It can also be useful for maintenance and installation

Programme Zero :
Each part program sets a starting location called program zero. Unlike machine zero, the
programmer selects the program zero for each work piece. This location acts as the origin
from which all the other dimensions are calculated during the program and it is usually
located on the edge of a work piece.

By grouping similar products into families that can then be processed on the same equipment in the

they require.
Factories converted to cellular manufacturing benefit by the reduction of overproduction and waste,
shorter lead time, improved quality and productivity, improved teamwork and communication.
The main requirement of Cellular Manufacturing is to ensure that all equipment required for
production is operating at 100% efficiency at all times.
Through short daily inspections, cleaning, lubricating, and making minor adjustments, minor
problems can be detected and corrected before they become a major problem that can shut down a
production line.
The basic concept of cellular manufacturing is the integration of management practices with
technological advances. To be truly successful requires a thorough understanding of the causes and
elimination of waste at all levels, and that means both operations and processes. High power sine wave generator This unit converts low frequency (60 Hz) electrical power to high
