Cad/Cam Introduction To CNC Iiird Unit
• Numerical control is a programmable automation in which process is controlled by Numbers, Letters, and symbols.
• CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools like
lathes, mills and grinders.
• To survive in global market CNC machines are must to achieve close tolerances.
A system in which actions are controlled by the direct insertion of numerical data at some point. The system must automatically interpret
at least some portion of this data. The present day computer can be considered as a direct consequence of the progress in the field of numerical
control of machine tools. A real breakthrough was achieved around 1965 when numerical control machines were fitted with minicomputers
which introduced the name Computer Numerical Control. The first step in the process of implementing automation in any industry is to
manufacture parts or components through automation using machines and machine tools with little human intervention. In order to meet the
increasing demand to manufacture complicated components of high accuracy in large quantities, sophisticated technological equipment and
machinery have been developed. Production of these components calls for machine tools which can be set up fairly rapidly without much
attention..
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
Machine Tool
Display Unit
Short setting time • Parts are imported
from aboard.
MACHINE TOOL
No skill requirement • High tooling cost
Hardware includes the microprocessors that effect
control system functions and peripheral devices for data
communication, machine tool interfacing and machine tool
Short inspection • Temperature,
status monitoring. Most are made from high speed steel
time/ high quality humidity & dust
product must be controlled. (HSS), tungsten carbide or ceramics. Tools are designed
to direct waste away from the material. Some tools need
coolant such as oil to protect the tool and work.
