CNC (Numerical Control Machine Tool) is an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control (CNC), which is an automated machine tool controlled by a program. This control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them through a computer, and enable the machine tool to perform predetermined actions. The blank material is processed into semi-finished products or finished parts through tool cutting.
Characteristics of CNC numerical control: (Compared with ordinary machine tools)
1. High machining accuracy and stable machining quality
2. Capable of multi coordinate linkage and processing complex shaped parts
3. When changing the processing parts, generally only the CNC program needs to be changed, which can save production preparation time
4. The machine tool itself has high accuracy and rigidity, and can choose favorable processing quantities, resulting in high production efficiency (usually 3-5 times that of ordinary machine tools)
5. High degree of automation in machine tools can reduce labor intensity
6. Mass production, easy to control product quality
7. Low quality requirements for operators and high technical requirements for maintenance personnel
