NUMERICAL CONTROL [CNC]

OBJECTIVES
 Distinguish different geometric shapes
 Apply different geometric standards to take care of issues

INTRODUCTION
A machine is basically used to oust metal from a touch of work to give that workpiece a pined
for shape and size as shown by the customer ask. This machine can hold the bit of metal in one
place emphatically and performs diverse metal ejection undertakings like turning, forming,
cutting et cetera. Egyptian were the first to develop a machine and it was named as the 'two
machine'. The application that is open today is known as the "spring shaft" machine.

CNC remains for Computer Numerical Control. With the effect of growing development, CNC
has achieved diverse advances. CNC machines are anything but difficult to manage, easy to set
them up and to work them as well. This kind of machine is made in such a route thusly, to the
point that they can outfit the customer with uncommonly current interpretations of tooling and
taking care of. The machine parts are changed using CAD frames. Right when the coded archive
is exchanged to the machine, the machine will have the ability to scrutinize it and will normally
make the required part.

Today, the utilization of CAD has saturated all enterprises. From aviation, hardware to
assembling, CAD is utilized in all industry verticals. Since CAD empowers innovativeness and
accelerates profitability, it is winding up increasingly valuable as a critical apparatus for
representation before really executing an assembling procedure. That is likewise one reason
CAD preparing is increasing increasingly significance.
APPARATUS

FIGURE 1-The BOXFORD DUET CNC LATHE MACHINE

METHOD OF HOW A LATHE MACHINE WORKS

The CNC machine contains the PC in which the program is sustained for cutting of the metal of the
movement as indicated by the necessities. All the cutting structures that are to be finished and all the
last estimations are supported into the PC by methods for the program. The PC thus appreciates what
absolutely is to be done and finishes all the cutting methodology. CNC machine works like the Robot,
which must be managed with the program and it takes after the sum of your rules.

DISCUSSION

INTRODUCTION FOR CAD AND CAM AND THEIR ADVANTAGES.

CAD remains for Computer Aided Design. This is a sort of innovation which utilizes a PC
framework to make, change or upgrade an outline. Any PC program that embodies PC
delineations and an application program empowering building limits in setup process can be
named CAD programming. The real part of CAD is to characterize the outline's geometry. The
favorable circumstances behind utilizing a CAD framework is that it limits the mistakes that are
caused on the work piece when contrasted with a typical machine. And furthermore it requires
an almost no investment to wrap up any work piece. Regardless of how enormous it is.
Today, the utilization of CAD has pervaded all businesses. From aviation, hardware to
assembling, CAD is utilized in all industry verticals. Since CAD supports imagination and
accelerates efficiency, it is winding up increasingly helpful as a vital apparatus for perception
before really executing an assembling procedure. That is additionally one reason CAD preparing
is increasing increasingly significance.

Advantages of CAD

o Increase in the productivity of the designer

o Improve the quality of the design
o Better communications
o Creating documentation of the designing
o Creating the database for manufacturing
o Saving of design data and drawings:
o Lay out the drawing conveniently
o CAD is flexible to organize drawing information
o Establish drafting standards
o Draw efficiently

CAM remains for Computer Aided Manufacturing. This assumes a gigantic part behind the
innovation that backings a PC interface for the controlling of the elements of the machine. CAM
headway joins PC structures that arrangement, oversee and control the storing up assignments
through PC interface with the plant assets accessible.

Advantages of CAM

 Builds the precision of the items.

 The tasks can be solid.
 The task can be rehashed to every one of the items with no distinction.
 Its greater profitability.
 The yielded items will be of high caliber.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRY

Many industries use CNC for various purposes. Its used for many reasons in fulfilling different
types of tasks.

Industries for removing metal

The metal expelling enterprises expel the metal from the crude material to give it the
coveted according to the prerequisites. These can be the car ventures for making the poles, gears,
and numerous different parts. It tends to produce enterprises for making the different adjusted,
square, rectangular, strung and different occupations. There are numerous different enterprises
where the metal expulsion works are performed. You can likewise complete all the turning tasks,
for example, confronting, exhausting, turning, cutting, knurling, and threading on your CNC
turning focuses.

Industries for Fabricating Metals

In numerous enterprises thin plates like steel plates are required for different purposes, in
manufactures industry the machining activities are performed on such plates. In these enterprises
the CNC machines are utilized for different machining activities like shearing, fire or plasma
cutting, punching, laser cutting, shaping, and welding and numerous different applications. To
convey the plates to their last shape CNC lasers and CNC plasma cutters are utilized ordinarily.
To punch the gaps in the plates of all sizes CNC turret punch presses are utilized. Furthermore,
in the event that you need to twist the plate to give it a last shape, you can utilize CNC squeeze
brakes.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) Industry

The EDM machines expel the metal by making the sparkles that consume the metal.
There are two sorts of EDM with the CNC robotization – Vertical EDM and Wire EDM. The
Vertical EDM needs a cathode of the shape and size of the depression that is be made in the
activity. Wire EDM is utilized to make the punch and pass on blends for the bites the dust set
that are utilized in the businesses where creation is finished.
Other Industries where CNC machines are used
CNC machines are additionally utilized broadly in the carpentry ventures to perform
different activities like steering (like processing) and penetrating. CNC innovation is additionally
utilized in number of lettering and etching frameworks. There are additionally CNC machines for
the electrical business, for example, CNC loop winders, and CNC terminal area and fastening
machines.
