2. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2] It is used to operate tools such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers and 3D printers. CNC transforms a piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic ...

3. CNC router - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC_router

   A CNC wood router is a computer-controlled router tool that carves/etches objects or images into the face of a piece of wood. [1] The CNC Router is ideal for hobbies, engineering prototyping, product development, art, and production works. The CNC works on the Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) for 3D motion control; however, typical CNC ...

4. LinuxCNC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC

   LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen, interactive development).

5. Punch press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_press

   A punch press is a type of machine press used to cut holes in material. It can be small and manually operated and hold one simple die set, or be very large, CNC operated, with a multi-station turret and hold a much larger and complex die set. Mechanical punch press. Punched hole: best results for cutting surface with above 70% cutting, low ...

6. STEP-NC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEP-NC

   STEP-NC. STEP-NC is a machine tool control language that extends the ISO 10303 STEP standards with the machining model in ISO 14649, [1] adding geometric dimension and tolerance data for inspection, and the STEP PDM model for integration into the wider enterprise. The combined result has been standardized as ISO 10303-238 [2] (also known as AP238).

7. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

   History of numerical control. The history of numerical control (NC) began when the automation of machine tools first incorporated concepts of abstractly programmable logic, and it continues today with the ongoing evolution of computer numerical control (CNC) technology. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing ...

8. Machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

   Machining. CNC machine pouring coolant to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. Lathe machine. Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting. Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, [1] which ...

9. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

   Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material [1] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions [2] on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. [3] Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy ...
