The abbreviation CNC comes from the English expression Computerized Numerical Control and means a computer method of controlling numerical devices. This is a control system equipped with a computer that can be freely programmed to perform the activities we need. The most common devices controlled in this way are milling machines, lathes or plotters, which, after programming, can perform their work very accurately and in accordance with a previously prepared project. Materials such as metals, wood, glass, plastics and others can be processed. In our text, we write more about the operation of CNC devices.
What is CNC machining?
CNC machining involves precise cutting of fragments of the processed material to achieve the intended effect, which is a specific shape of a given element. This method of machining is characterized by very high accuracy, surface smoothness and compliance with the design according to which the cutting was performed. CNC machining is widely used in many industrial plants because it allows for significant improvement of work and achievement of a very high degree of precision.
The CNC method is based on the use of a computer to control numerical devices such as lathes, milling machines, cutters, plotters and marking machines. The use of such a modern method of control allows the machine's operation to be programmed to take into account many different factors. Data including the type of material being processed, the type of its surface (smooth or rough), and any other details of the project can be entered into the control computer, thanks to which the final effect is such an accurate implementation. The entire machining process is automated and is supervised by the operator, who can still make the necessary modifications if necessary.
Due to the fact that the devices operating in the CNC machining system are computer-controlled, each of their movements can be very precisely programmed and even the most complex projects can be perfectly executed, which would not be possible in the case of manual processing. That is why CNC is a method chosen more and more often - thanks to it, accurate reproduction of the design is achieved in a very short time, and the quality of finished products is very high.
