What Is CNC Machining?
As machining experts are aware, computer numerical control (CNC) machining is the process of automating the controls on mills, lathes, grinders, and more. During this process, computerized programming is used to convert the design and turn your instructions into a numeric code. This code then tells the machine how to move. The result is an accurate finished part designed from your choice of raw material.
4 Unique Features of the CNC Machining Process
There are several key components to consider when working with a CNC turning center for your machining processes. CNC is considered an essential tool across numerous industries due to its:
- Precision – When utilizing CNC turning technology, the automation process can deliver the most precise, complex, and innovative designs. This allows industries to manufacture intricate components that may be more difficult to produce manually.
- Productivity – Since the technology in our CNC machine shop is automated, it allows for faster, more repeatable machining processes, as well as less downtime and higher overall outputs for screw machine products.
- Material savings – CNC machining makes the margin of error smaller. That means your automated operation will eliminate the need for extra materials due to the decrease in minuscule inaccuracies throughout the process.
