CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. CNC machines use a computer and CAM program to control, automate, and monitor the movements of a machine.
CNC machines can be used for a variety of purposes, including: Milling Lathes Routers Welders Grinders Laser or waterjet cutters Sheet metal stamping machines Robots
CNC machining is a complex process that involves a variety of steps: CAD model: The CNC process begins with a CAD model that is then converted into a CNC program. Homing: Homing the machine is an important part of CNC machining. Without homing, the machine can crash because the controller doesn't know the axis's position when it's turned on. Surface finishing: Surface finishing is an essential step in CNC machining that can improve the quality and performance of parts. Quality control: Quality control is important to ensure that manufactured products meet customer expectations, industry standards, and regulations. Repeatability: Repeatability is an essential feature of CNC machining.
