CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tools are automated machines equipped with a program control system. This system logically processes programs defined by control codes or other symbolic instructions and decodes them, thereby driving the machine to perform operations and manufacture parts.
Compared to conventional machine tools, CNC machine tools offer the following characteristics:
● High machining accuracy and consistent product quality;
● Capability for multi-axis coordinated motion, enabling the machining of complex part geometries;
● When switching to a different part, usually only the CNC program needs to be modified, saving production preparation time;
● High machine precision and rigidity allow for the selection of optimal machining parameters, resulting in high productivity (typically 3 to 5 times that of conventional machines);
● High level of automation, which reduces labor intensity;
● Higher requirements for operator competence and even higher technical demands for maintenance personnel.
