CNC Machine Tools

CNC machine tools, that is, CNC Machine Tools, are automated machine tools that use digital control systems to operate. Compared with traditional machine tools, it has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency and high quality. This article will elaborate on the definition, development history, main types, application fields and future development of CNC machine tools.

First of all, CNC machine tools are the 1 kind of machine tools that use pre-prepared control programs and mathematical models to direct the work of machine tools with digital signals. Its core is the numerical control system, which is used to realize the automatic control of the machine tool. Compared with the manual operation of traditional machine tools, CNC machine tools can achieve higher precision processing, improve production efficiency and product quality.

The development of CNC machine tools can be traced back to the 1950 s. At that time, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed the world's first CNC machine tool, which opened the way for the development of CNC machine tools. In the 1970 s, with the rapid development of microelectronics technology, CNC machine tools ushered in rapid development, the functions were constantly improved, and the scope of application was gradually expanded.

CNC machine tools mainly include lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines and other types. Among them, the lathe is the most common 1, used to process rotationally symmetrical parts. Milling machine is mainly used for plane processing and complex surface processing. The drilling machine is suitable for drilling operations, and the grinding machine is used for fine grinding. Of course, with the development of science and technology, the classification of modern CNC machine tools is becoming more and more detailed, and the functions are becoming more and more abundant.

CNC machine tools are widely used in various industries, especially manufacturing. It can process various materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, etc. In automobile manufacturing, aerospace, shipbuilding and other large-scale industrial fields, CNC machine tools are widely used. In addition, it is also widely used in mold manufacturing, electronic device processing and other subdivision fields.

In the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology, CNC machine tools will continue to develop in the direction of intelligence and automation. With the help of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, big data and other new technologies, the performance of CNC machine tools will be further improved, and the processing efficiency will be greatly improved. At the same time, CNC machine tools will also pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction, improve resource utilization, and contribute to sustainable development.
