The Man–Machine Interface (MMI) provides the interface that enables a user to operate a machine tool, edit a part program, perform the part program, set the parameters, and transmit data. In this chapter, the function and components of the MMI will be addressed, and programming methods such as CAPS (Conversational Automatic Programming System) will be described. In addition, for designing CAPS, the main functions and components of CAPS will be described.
