CN stands for Computer Numerical Control.
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) refers to the automation of machine tools and other manufacturing processes through the use of computer systems. It involves the use of pre-programmed instructions that dictate the movement and actions of the machines.
In CNC systems, a computer program is created to control the movements of tools and machinery in precise and predetermined ways. This program is typically generated using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) or Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. The program provides instructions on the specific path, speed, and depth of cuts or movements required to produce the desired output.
The CNC system interprets the program and translates it into electrical signals that drive the motors and actuators of the machine tools. These signals precisely control the movement of the cutting tools, workpieces, or other components, allowing for accurate and repeatable machining processes.
CNC technology is widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and woodworking. It offers numerous advantages such as increased productivity, improved precision, enhanced automation, and the ability to produce complex shapes and patterns with ease.
