COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL

The variety being demanded in view of the varying tastes of the consumer calls for a very small batch sizes. Small batch sizes will not be able to take advantage of the mass production techniques such as special purpose machines or transfer lines. Hence, the need for flexible automation is felt , where you not only get the benefits of rigid automation but are also able to vary the products manufactured thus bringing in the flexibility. Numerical control fits the bill perfectly and we would see that manufacturing would increasingly be dependent on numerical control in future.Numerical control of machine tools may be defined as a method of automation in which various functions of machine tools are controlled by letters, numbers and symbols.
Basically a NC machine runs on a program fed to it. The program consists of precise instructions about the methodology of manufacture as well as movements. For example, what tool is to be used, at what speed, at what feed and to move from which point to which point in what path. Since the program is the controlling point for product manufacture, the machine becomes versatile and can be used for any part. All the functions of a NC machine tool are therefore controlled electronically, hydraulically or pneumatically. In NC machine tools, one or more of the following functions may be automatic.
  1. Functions of a machine tool
  2. Concept of numerical control
  3. Advantages of NC machine tools
  4. Evolution of CNC
  5. Part program simulation
