CNC definition

The Computer Numerical Control, also known as the CNC, is a manufacturing process in which pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. The process can be used to control a range of sophisticated machinery, from grinders and lathes to mills and routers.

The CNC is a very vital and essential part of handling any manufacturing job as it pays detailed attention to texture, length, and direction. Making use of the CNC during any form of manufacturing guarantees you that the work to be done will be done neatly and smartly such that you do not bother about how the work to be done is carried out. CNC systems usually offer far more expansive computational capacity. The incredible thing is that CNC systems are by no means static since newer prompts can be added to pre-existing programs through revised code.

The CNC is usually of various types such as Mills, Water Jet Cutters, Electric Discharge Machines, Lathes, among others.

There are various types of CNC Machine operations, namely: drilling, milling, and turning. CNC mills are capable of running on programs comprised of number- and letter-based ` prompts, which guide pieces across various distances. 

Drilling to a machining process which employs multipoint drill bits to produce cylindrical holes in the work-piece. In CNC drilling, typically, the CNC machine feeds the rotating drill bit perpendicularly to the plane of the work-pieces surface. On the other hand,

Milling involves a machining process that employs rotating multipoint cutting tools to remove material from the work-piece. In CNC milling, the CNC machine typically feeds the work-piece to the cutting tool in the same direction as the cutting tool's rotation. While

Turning involves a machining process which employs single-point cutting tools to remove material from the rotating work-piece. In CNC turning, the CNC machine feeds the cutting tool in a linear motion along the surface of the rotating work-piece.
