CNC or computerized numerical control is a highly specialized branch of engineering used mostly in the manufacturing sector to automate various routine and complex manufacturing tasks.The basic idea behind the concept is to carry out traditional manufacturing processes through the use of specialized machinery which is controlled by a computer terminal which feeds commands which guides the appropriate tool to move in a specific direction and depth.
Thus it basically acts like an extension of a robotic arm which is guided along its path in doing a specific job. The technical details of this topic are not for discussion in a general blog meant for everyone, but we will try to cover as much interesting principles, applications and developments in the field of CNC and related areas.
It can be said without doubt that CNC has dramatically changed the way we manufacture various products because of the accuracy, speed and reliability which sometimes may not be available with human operators especially with work requiring utmost precision and long monotonous operations in the manufacturing segment.
It is hoped that in the times to come CNC technology will add more wonders to the manufacturing and engineering scenario, making possible operations which hitherto might have been only a distant dream.
No trackbacks.
