Let’s look in more detail at CNC machines and the advantages that they provide to manufacturers.
CNC machines are automated machines which can produce machined parts and products independently once programmed. They most commonly occur as milling, lathe, or grinding machines.
Since these machines do not require human operation, they provide a number of benefits:
– CNC machines can be utilised 24/7, 365 days a year
– They produce thousands of identical products at a time
– Human operators do not need to be skilled craftsmen or women
– Machines are updated by improving software alone
– They can produce parts quickly that would otherwise require a complicated process of many steps to produce
– The automated process increases operator safety, as they are not in harm’s way
– They include internal QA detection, meaning that product quality and production efficiency is enhanced
– One operator can control several CNC machines, lowering labor costs
