The most common types of CNC machining tools are vertical milling machines, drilling machines, boring machines and lathes. There are also other kinds of CNC Machining Tools such as laser cutting machines, EDM machines and water jet profilers. The machines we mention above are just some of the examples used in the manufacturing industry nowadays.
CNC is short for computer numerical controlled. A controller or a computer drives the machine according to G-code instructions, and the machine is used for quickly and accurately performing repetitive tasks such as grinding, cutting and drilling at a high speed.
In the late 1940s, John T. Parsons was the first person who adopted the CNC machining tool to manufacture the wing section in the United States, and now special parts made by the CNC machining tool are widely used for the automotive, woodworking, granite and stone field around the world.
The main part of the CNC machining tool is the machine control unit that reads and decodes the instruction, generating axis commands and feeding motion commands to circuits which drive axis mechanisms. The machine control unit also controls spindle, coolant and tool change functions. The other part of CNC machining tool is a program input device that installs a part program into the CNC control. A part program controls the movement and function of the machine.
There are many kinds of machines that adopt CNC as a controller. A turning or lathe center is a common kind of CNC machining tool. This kind of machine is able to automatically have different lathe-cutting operations. Another kind is the laser cutting CNC machining tool which uses a focused beam of a laser light to cut various materials.
The CNC EDM machining tool is a kind of process that uses electric erosion generated by pulse discharge between two poles immersed in the working fluid. CNC controls the table movement and the wire keeps still in the process.
The machining center is the newest kind of CNC machining tool, and it is able to carry out task including boring, milling and drilling. A pallet or worktable will automatically exchange work pieces based on needs and a machining center will automatically change a tool head in order to carry out the required task.
