What is CNC in simple terms?

2024-06-11

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. In simple terms, it refers to the use of computers to control machine tools. Here's a straightforward breakdown:

Machines: Think of machines like lathes, mills, routers, or grinders, which are used to shape and cut materials like metal, wood, or plastic.
Computer Control: Instead of being operated manually, these machines are controlled by computers.
Pre-Programmed Instructions: The computer follows pre-programmed instructions or codes to perform precise movements and operations on the material.

Key Points:

Automation: CNC machines automate the machining process, making it faster and more accurate.
Precision: They can make very precise cuts and shapes, often down to fractions of a millimeter.
Consistency: Once programmed, a CNC machine can produce identical parts repeatedly without variation.

In essence, CNC technology allows for the efficient and precise manufacturing of complex parts and products by using computer software to control the movement and operation of machine tools.
