CNC Engineering
A CNC machine automates machine tools through pre-programmed sequences. Common sequences that use CNC engineering technology include drilling, hole punching, gluing, grinding, laser cutting, and more.
The first CNC engineered parts were manufactured for the airline industry. This has since evolved and trickled down to other manufacturing industries. Modern day engineering can be found in mechanical and precision engineering fields.
Hundreds of parts for different industries are manufactured through engineering. The high-level of precision achieved through engineering also allows mass production of a variety of parts.
CNC Engineering Applications
CNC engineering can be used in a variety of applications. The most common is the use of the technology in cutting tools.
Benefits of CNC Engineering
Modern manufacturing factories have little to no human presence on the factory floor which minimises accidents and human errors in the production line. CNC engineered machines are programmed to manufacture products to a high level of accuracy.
CNC engineering also allows manufacturers to produce complex parts such as metal parts for aircrafts or simple parts such as nuts and bolts.
Another benefit is that it allows one worker to oversee and programme multiple machines at a go increasing efficiency. The reduced volume of manpower also allows manufacturers to save costs.
Speed is also a major benefit. The machines can quickly work through heavy duty materials such as wood and metal increasing production rates.
CNC engineering also guarantees a high level of accuracy. The machines are programmed to function in a specific sequence which means all products are identical. This mode of manufacture is ideal for mass production companies competing on a global scale.
The Future Of Engineering
As more and more manufacturers employ the use of CNC engineering, it is clear that their benefits far outweigh traditional methods of manufacture.
Although factory floors may have fewer workers, each machine is manned by a specialist. The CAD specialists can alter the the images on the computers to produce an unlimited number of designs.
Engineering also makes manufacture machines cost efficient, effective, and easy to operate. The machines can also be adapted for a variety of manufacture uses. We can expect a lot more industries to expand their usage of CNC engineering technology.
