What is CNC? Principles, Advantages, and Applications of CNC Machining Technology

CNC Machining Technology is a technique that utilizes computer control over machine tools for processing, characterized by high precision, fast efficiency, and excellent flexibility. It has found widespread applications in the manufacturing industry. This article will introduce the principles, advantages, and applications of CNC machining technology. If needed, feel free to seek collaboration with CHATRONIC, the most professional company in the market.

CNC machining is a technique that utilizes computer control over machine tools for processing. To put it simply, it involves instructing the machine via computer commands on how to perform tasks, after which the machine autonomously carries out the processing.

There are numerous advantages to CNC machining, including:

  • High precision: CNC machining can achieve precise processing according to computer instructions, with processing accuracy reaching the micron level.
  • Fast efficiency: CNC machining automates the processing process, enhancing processing efficiency.
  • Excellent flexibility: CNC machining can fulfill different processing requirements through computer instructions, exhibiting good flexibility.

The principle of CNC machining involves controlling the movement of machine tools using a computer and processing the workpiece according to pre-coded instructions. The control system of CNC machining technology mainly consists of the following components:

  • Digital controller: The digital controller is the core component of CNC machining technology, responsible for controlling the movement of the machine tool. The digital controller typically consists of a central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output (I/O) interfaces, etc.
  • Servo system: The servo system is the executing mechanism of the digital controller, responsible for translating the instructions issued by the controller into the movement of the machine tool. The servo system typically consists of servo motors, drivers, encoders, etc.
  • Computer program: Engineers use computer programs to design and write CNC machining procedures.

The encoding process of CNC machining involves converting machining requirements into computer instructions. CNC machining programs typically consist of the following parts:

  • Preparation program: The preparation program is mainly used to define machining parameters, such as the material, size, and machining accuracy of the workpiece.
  • Machining program: The machining program is mainly used to describe the specific steps of machining, such as tool selection, cutting speed, feed rate, etc.
  • Finishing program: The finishing program is mainly used to indicate the actions to be taken after machining is completed, such as machine tool retraction, etc.

CNC machining technology has been widely used in the manufacturing industry, mainly in the following fields:

  • Mechanical machining: CNC machining technology can be used for processing various mechanical parts, such as turning parts, milling parts, grinding parts, etc.
  • Mold manufacturing: CNC machining technology can be used for manufacturing various molds, such as plastic molds, stamping molds, etc.
  • Electronics manufacturing: CNC machining technology can be used for manufacturing various electronic components, such as circuit boards, connectors, etc.
  • Aerospace: CNC machining technology can be used for manufacturing various aerospace parts, such as aircraft parts, spacecraft parts, etc.
