CNC stands for a Computer Numerical Control. It is a term used to describe the procedure of cutting and processing materials, using computer-controlled machine tools. CNC precision machining is used in a various manufacturing plant for performing precise material cutting operations. The machine tools that are used for this procedure include grinders, mills, lathes and routers. Each of these machining tools has a specific purpose of use in different CNC applications. Typical and most commonly performed CNC precision machining procedures are drilling, milling and turning.
The computers which are used for the controlling don’t look much different than the personal computers but are much more powerful. In fact, it is the specialized software and control console the main segments that distinguish these computers among the other. The special software is programmed in special machining language called G-code. Using the G-code language, the CNC machines are given a set of instructions in respect of the cuts that need to be made. Continue reading
