2. 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 ...

3. 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 ...

4. 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 ...

5. 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 ...

6. Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing

   Computer-aided manufacturing. CAD model and CNC machined part. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining[1][2][3] is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces. [4][5][6][7][8] This is not the only definition for CAM, but it is the most common. [4]

7. Indexing head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_head

   Indexing head. Indexing head and tailstock set up on a milling machine's table. An indexing head, also known as a dividing head or spiral head, [1] is a specialized tool that allows a workpiece to be circularly indexed; that is, easily and precisely rotated to preset angles or circular divisions. Indexing heads are usually used on the tables of ...
