Tiivistelmä
The goal of this thesis was to make standard test parts for tensile test as the topic suggests. The task included among other things creating NC-programs which would be used in the manufacture of these parts on a CNC machine, programming the machine, machining the test parts, as well as the documentation related to this project. This thesis was commissioned by HAMK University of Applied Sciences and was chosen as a thesis topic by the author who is a sheer CNC, CAD and CAM enthusiast and hobbyist, and who is also planning to deepen his knowledge in that field.
The NC codes were generated both by a CAM software called surfCAM and manually for both the milled and turned parts respectively. The CAM software was used as opposed to manual programming for the milled part because it is faster, one can simulate the tool paths before loading the program to the machine and higher precision and speed. For the turned part, manual programming was used because of the simplicity of the part.
The results of this thesis project are milled and turned tensile test specimen parts which will be used for tests, along with the NC-program which could be used to produce more test parts if need be.
