Data Transfer Methods of CNC 2008-07-31 01:39:00 A CNC machine cannot function without a program. And a program cannot make its way to the machine without an effective data transfer system. So, what are the methods of data transfer and how effective are they in conveying data from one point to the next?Punched tapeThe first data transfer method is the punched tape. It consists of a long strip of paper with holes punched in it to store data. The Read more:Methods
The CNC Family 2008-07-31 01:39:00 You might have not heard of the CNC before, or what it does, or how it makes lofty manufacturing operations a lot easier. However, CNC machining is dubbed as one of the most important factors of most production processes. The common tasks CNCs machines usually perform are drilling holes, tool changing, cooling and lubrication of separate factory machines at the same time.Let’s start with a brief Read more:Family
3 Basic Motion Types in a CNC Machine 2008-07-31 01:38:00 A Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machine may have more than one motion type that it uses, but there are three most common motion types that are easy to remember. These are the Rapid Motion
, the Straight Line Motion, and the Circular Motion.All of these motion types may seem different but they share two things in common, which would be that they are all modal and the endpoint of each motion is Read more:Basic
