What’s CNC Machining
CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, is a form of automated machining which uses computers to control the movement of tools. It is used to produce parts with higher accuracy and repeatability than manual machining, and is often used in manufacturing processes such as milling, drilling, turning, and tapping. CNC machines are controlled by a computer program which is typically written in a language called G-code. The program contains a set of instructions which tell the machine how to move the cutting tool and what path to take. The machine reads the instructions and moves the cutting tool accordingly. CNC machines are capable of producing highly complex shapes and can be used for both simple and complex parts. CNC machines offer a number of advantages over traditional machining methods. They are often faster, more accurate, and require less manual labor. They can also produce parts with more complex geometries, which can be difficult or impossible to produce with traditional methods. Additionally, CNC machines can perform multiple operations in one cycle, reducing the amount of time needed to produce a part. CNC machines are used in many industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics. In the aerospace industry, they are used to produce parts for aircraft, helicopters, and spacecraft. In the automotive industry, they are used to produce engine parts, transmissions, and other components. In the medical industry, they are used to produce implants and prosthetics. In the consumer electronics industry, they are used to produce cell phones, tablets, and other electronics. |
