CNC routers can perform the tasks of many carpentry shop machines such as the panel saw, the spindle moulder, and the boring machine. They can also cut joinery such as mortises and tenons. A CNC router is very similar in concept to a CNC milling machine. Instead of routing by hand, tool paths are controlled via computer numerical control.
In CNC machining, when something has been partially machined and needs more operations performed in a different position, it can be difficult to position the machine and restart operations in a needed location of the modified coordinates. For example, something needs to be flipped over to be machined on the opposite side.
Each of the handwheels on this CNC control actuates a manual pulse generator. One moves the cross-slide (X-axis) and the other moves the Z-axis A manual pulse generator ( MPG ) is a device for generating electrical pulses (short bursts of low current ) in electronic systems under the control of a human operator (manually), as opposed to the ...
