INFO › CNC - General Information ›

The idea of machine numerical control  was develpped in the twentieth century at MIT USA. In the first stage was developed into a system Driver vertical milling machines in which the necessary information to be entered using punch cards. Along with the development of electronics, technology and the emergence of processors and microcomputers in the 70 The first CNC systems - computerized numerical control.
Continuous development of CNC milling machines and machine tools takes place today and is connected with innovations of microelectronic components, CNC driver systems, tools and equipment.

The advantages of numerically controlled equipment:
- With CNC machines, it is possible to achieve greater productivity through increased processing speed
- The same quality of the workpieces, with little involvement of defective items
- Higher accuracy machining
- Shorter product life cycles
- Greater bandwidth
- Increased flexibility of production

Thanks to the virtues listed machinery and equipment skills CNC machining significant areas.

Modern computer manufacturing process consists of the following three stages:
• CAD - Computer Aided Design - this phase is expected to design element
• CAM - Computer Aided Manufacturing - processing project CAD code that controls the machinery
• CNC - correct implementation element

Plotters may be single or multi. Electronic equipment, expansion of functions and transformed the conventional numerical control machine in CNC lathe which is part of an integrated manufacturing CIM structures.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM - Computer Integrated Manufacturing) - covers all aspects of computer-aided manufacturing, logistics support systems and technology. There are:
• CAD-Computer Assisted Design (Computer Aided Design)
• CAE - Computer Assisted Construction (Computer Aided Engineering)
• CAP Computer-Assisted Planning (Computer Aided Planning)
• CAM-Computer Assisted Manufacturing (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
• Computer assistance CAQ-Quality Control (Computer Aided Quality Control)

CIM is characterized by a procedural tools to integrate the CAX-based modeling and database companies - the possibility to react flexibly to market needs, the introduction of changes and the modernization of manufacturing processes - the need to use an expensive technical infrastructure of the company.
