What does CNC Machining mean?

CNC machining, also known as computer gongs or numerical control machine tools, is actually a name in Hong Kong. Later, it was introduced to the Pearl River Delta in mainland China. In fact, it is a numerical control milling machine. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, some people call it "machining center". It is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. The control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions and decode them to make the machine move and machine parts.

CNC machining refers to the machining carried out by CNC machining tools. CNC refers to the programming and control of CNC machine tools by CNC machining language, usually G code. The CNC machining G code language tells the CNC machine tool what kind of machining tool to use, Cartesian position coordinates, and controls the feed speed and spindle speed of the tool, as well as tool converters, coolants and other functions. CNC machining has great advantages over manual tooling. For example, the parts produced by CNC machining are very accurate and repeatable; CNC machining can produce parts with complex shapes that cannot be completed by manual machining. CNC machining, technology is now widely promoted, most machining workshops have CNC machining capabilities, the most common CNC machining methods in a typical machining workshop are CNC milling, CNC turning and CNC EDM wire cutting (EDM wire cutting). The tools for CNC milling are called CNC milling machines or CNC machining centers. The lathes for CNC turning are called CNC turning centers. CNC machining G-codes can be manually programmed, but usually the machining workshop uses CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software to automatically read CAD (Computer Aided Design) files and generate G-code programs to control CNC machine tools.
