    CNC technology uses computer numerical control to automate machine tools like milling machines, lathes, routers and grinders. It allows precise and repeatable machining of parts through programmed code. Major advantages include increased productivity, reduced labor costs, ability to machine complex parts, and flexibility to change designs easily. John Parsons is credited with developing the first numerical control system in the 1950s. Modern soft-wired control uses software and computers while older hard-wired control used physical wiring. Typical CNC machining involves loading a program, setting tools and workpiece, and running the automated process to cut or form the part according to the programmed code. CNC mills and machining centers both remove material but centers have

    2 Name at least five machine types that use numerical


    control in industry

    3 What are the main advantages of CNC technology?


    Name at least four

    4 Whose name is credited with the initial development


    of numerical control technology in the 1950’s?

    5 Describe the difference between the old hard-wired


    and the modern soft-wired control systems

    6 Describe typical steps for machining a simple part


    on a CNC machine
