CNC is the abbreviation of computer-controlled numerical control, which is an automatic machine tool controlled by a program. The control system can process the program specified by the control code or other symbolic instructions according to the predetermined logic, and decode it through the computer, so that the machine tool can perform the specified action, and the blank can be processed into semi-finished products and finished parts through tool cutting.
To work successfully on a CNC machine, a program instructs how the machine should move. Use CAM software to code with the CAD model provided by the customer, give the CNC machine tool programming instructions, load the CAD model into the CAM software, and create the tool path according to the required geometry of the manufactured part, after determining the tool path, the CAM software will create Machine code, which tells the machine how fast to move, how fast to turn the blank and/or tool, and in the X, Y, Z (3-axis), A, and B (5-axis) coordinate systems.
