Appendix C.<br />

Extrusion screw manufacturing details<br />

As described in the report, the final extrusion screw<br />

was machined by a CNC lathe, using a G-code script.<br />

The script was created in WinCAM, a pieces of<br />

software that comes with the EMCO lathe that was<br />

used. More information can be found at:<br />

http://www.emco.at/en/win_cam.htm<br />

The script itself is written below:<br />

The first group of codes are standard written by<br />

WinCAM, the software in which the program is<br />

written. The second group of codes needs some<br />

explanation. The next rules represent the parameters<br />

for the screw, like depth and pitch.<br />

G95 = Feed per revolution<br />

S50= Meter per Minute<br />

N0065<br />

R20=Pitch<br />

R21= Start of screw thread in X-direction<br />

R22= Start of screw thread in de Z-direction<br />

R24=Depth of screw thread<br />

R25=Surface depth<br />

N0070<br />

R26=Way in (amount of space)<br />

R27=Way out (amount of space)<br />

R28=Number of cycles<br />

R29=Angle of feed<br />

R31=End restraint of X<br />

R32= End restraint of Z<br />

L97=Screw thread cycle<br />

P1=Programme number<br />
