Just What exactly is CNC Machining and how does it work?
Numerical control (also computer numerical control and more commonly referred
to as CNC) is the controlled automation of machining equipment (such as drills,
lathes, mills) as well as 3D printers, by through computers. A metal casting
services process the material (metal or plastic, wood, ceramic or composite)
to conform to specifications following a coded programmed instruction and with
no human operator who is directly in charge of the machining operation.
CNC machining is a manufacturing process that is controlled by computer
software which controls the movements of factory tools and machinery. This
technique can control a variety of intricate machines from lathes to grinders to
routers and mills. With CNC machining the three-dimensional cutting task can be
completed in a single set of prompts.
What is the process?
When a CNC system is activated, the desired cuts are programmed into the
software and then dictated to the appropriate tools and machinery, which perform
the dimensional task as specified, much like a robot.
The code generator used in CNC programming assumes that the mechanisms are
flawless and that there is a possibility for mistakes. This is especially the
case when a Computer
Numerical Control Machining is directed to cut in multiple directions at the
same time. The position of a machine in the numerical control system is
determined by a sequence of inputs, referred to as the part programming.
With a numerical control machine the programs are input through punch cards.
The programs for CNC machines are transmitted to computers via tiny keyboards.
Computers store CNC programming in its memory. The code itself is written and
edited by programmers. The Computer Numerical Control Machining systems are
equipped with an incredibly high computational capacity. The most appealing
aspect is that CNC systems are able to be altered in order to add new prompts to
existing software.
Different types of CNC Milling Machines
Travelling Column Machining Centers
Hwacheon's Hi-Rex 4000/5000/6000 is CNC milling machine that uses a traveling
column machining the center. The table and workpiece are fixed and do not move.
The three linear axes motions are made by the traveling column which includes
the spindle as as the cutting tool. These machines are designed for a extremely
long, but slimmer (Y-axis direction) components or to permit multiple clamping
applications of the workpiece.
Multi-Spindle and Double Spindle Machining Centers with Pallet Changers
Most often, they are fitted with Pallet Changers, vertical or horizontal
multi-spindle or double-spindle machining centres are top of the line CNC
milling machines. These machines are specifically designed to maximize
productivity and can be used to mass produce complex parts.
Pallet Changers with Double/Multi-Spindle Machine Machining Centres
Most often, they are equipped with Pallet Changers, vertical or horizontal
multi-spindle machining centers are top-end CNC milling machines. These machines
are specifically designed for high productivity and are used to mass produce
complex parts.
Multi-Axis CNC Machining Centres
Most metal casting services are available in the 3-axis to 5-axis range to accommodate complex shapes, mold & die or other components that must be placed in different angles. Multiple axes allow for simultaneous machining up to five faces.
