2. Indexing head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_head

   A CNC dividing head may be used in this manner on either manual or CNC machinery. Most CNC dividing heads are also able to function as a full CNC axis and may be wired into the control of a CNC machine. This enables the machine's main CNC controller to control the indexing head just like it would control the other axes of the machine.

3. Indexing (motion) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_(motion)

   Indexing in reference to motion is moving (or being moved) into a new position or location quickly and easily but also precisely. When indexing a machine part, its new location is known to within a few hundredths of a millimeter (thousandths of an inch), or often even to within a few thousandths of a millimeter (ten-thousandths of an inch), despite the fact that no elaborate measuring or ...

4. Rotary table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_table

   The table shown is a manually operated type. Powered tables under the control of CNC machines are now available, and provide a fourth axis to CNC milling machines.Rotary tables are made with a solid base, which has provision for clamping onto another table or fixture.

5. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

   CAM software automates the process of converting 3D models into tool paths, the route the multiaxis machine takes to mill a part (Fig. 1). This software takes into account the different parameters of the tool head (in the case of a CNC router, this would be the bit size), dimensions of the blank, and any constraints the machine may have.

6. Turret lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turret_lathe

   There are many variants of the turret lathe. They can be most generally classified by size (small, medium, or large); method of control (manual, automated mechanically, or automated via computer (numerical control (NC) or computer numerical control (CNC)); and bed orientation (horizontal or vertical). 1920 Cincinnati Ames turret lathe.

7. Geneva drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_drive

   Other applications of the Geneva drive include the pen change mechanism in plotters, automated sampling devices, banknote counting machines, and many forms of indexable equipment used in manufacturing (such as the tool changers in CNC machines; the turrets of turret lathes, screw machines, and turret drills; some kinds of indexing heads and ...

8. Automatic tool changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Tool_Changer

   In machining, an automatic tool changer (ATC) is used in computerized numerical control (CNC) machine tools to improve the production and tool carrying capacity of the machine. ATCs change tools rapidly, reducing non-productive time. They are generally used to improve the capacity of the machines to work with a number of tools.

9. Direct numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_control

   Direct numerical control (DNC), also known as distributed numerical control (also DNC), is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one ...
