CNC stands for Computer
Numerical control machining services that comprises of the computer which acts
as the controller unit of the machine. In CNC machines the program of instructions
is fed directly into the computer via keyboard. The programs are stored in the
memory of the computer that can edit the programs as per the requirements. Traditionally,
these machines were operated by experts in the operation of machining. In the
CNC machines the role of the operators is minimized. These programs can be used
for different parts, and can be repeated again and again. The CNC machine
offers flexibility and computational capability.
Working
of a CNC Machine:
The CNC Milling machine is comprised of the computer in which the
programs are fed for metal cutting. All the cutting processes should be carried
out according to the final dimensions to be fed into the computer via the
program. The computer decides the operations to be performed and cutting
processes.
Tools that run on the CNC are:
- Milling Machines
- Lathe
- Deep Hole Drilling
The main purpose of
these machines is to scrub off the metal and them a proper shape such as round,
rectangular, etc. Most of the jobs need to be machined accurately, and the
operator must be specialized to make the precision jobs. The operators have to
feed the program of in the computer and load tools in the machine. Rest of the
work is done automatically by CNC machine.
