7 CNC 2P

1. Computer numerical control (CNC) involves controlling the relative movements between a tool and workpiece using coded instructions to machine geometrical shapes. 2. With NC, a separate control unit reads programmed instructions to control the machine functions, rather than a human operator directly controlling it. These early NC machines could only execute simple blocks of information at a time. 3. Computer numerical control (CNC) is used when an NC system includes a computer to control the machine. The computer allows for new control features and more complex programming of CNC machines.

COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL OF


MACHINE TOOLS
By controlling the relative movements between the tool and the
work piece geometrical shapes are machined. Control of these relative
movements through coded letters numbers is known as Numerical
Control of machine tools.
NC is simply a way of electronically controlling the operations of a
machine. In conventional machine operator directly controlling the
machine functions. Where as in NC machine a separate media which is in
between machine and operator is controlling the machine functions. These
NC machines do not have any memory of their own and hence capable of
only executing a simple block of information fed to it at a time.
Hardware automation gave way to computer controlled automation
in manufacturing process. Computer numerical control is the term used
when the control system of an NC includes a computer. The availability of
a dedicated computer permits new control features to be made available
on CNC machines.
BASIC COMPONENTS OF NC
Program of

Machine
tool

Program of instructions:
The program instructions is the detailed step by step of directions
which tell the machine tool, what to do.
Machine control unit:
This consists of the electronics and hardware that read and interpret the
program and convert it into mechanical actions of the machine tool.

Machine tool:
It is the part of the NC system which performs the useful work.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE :
Conventional machine tool
Operators brain
