What is CNC machining technology?

CNC machining is a technology widely used in manufacturing, which stands for Computer Numerical Control (Computer Numerical Control) machining.

CNC machining uses computer-controlled precision tools to perform precise cutting, drilling, milling, turning and other processing operations on the workpiece according to pre-designed programs and instructions. These programs can be created using computer-aided design (CAD) software and converted into instructions suitable for CNC machines using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.

CNC machining technology has the following advantages:

High precision: CNC machines have extremely high positioning accuracy and repeatability to achieve precise machining requirements.

High efficiency: Due to the high degree of automation, the CNC machine can run continuously, reducing the waiting time of human operation and improving production efficiency.

Flexibility: CNC machines can be quickly adjusted and changed according to different machining needs, suitable for small batch production and custom machining.

Versatility: CNC machine tools can carry out a variety of processing operations, such as milling, turning, drilling, cutting, etc., with strong versatility.

High degree of automation: CNC machining process is controlled by computer, reducing the need for manual operation and improving the consistency and accuracy of production.

As for the specific materials for CNC machining, it can be used to process a variety of metal and non-metal materials, including but not limited to:

Metal materials: Aluminum alloy, steel, stainless steel, copper, iron, titanium alloy, etc.

Plastic materials: polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), nylon, etc.

Wood and composite materials: Wood, plywood, density board, glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), etc.

Other materials: ceramic, stone, etc.

It should be noted that the processing characteristics and requirements of different materials will be different, so the corresponding parameter Settings and process adjustments need to be made according to the properties and processing requirements of specific materials when CNC machining is carried out.
