CNC Milling Machine Pros and Cons

This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of CNC milling machines. Some key advantages include accurately visualizing and testing 3D models before manufacturing, generating accurate engineering drawings directly from models, and easily modifying models to aid in product development. However, CNC machines are more expensive than manual machines and industrial software can be costly. Power outages and viruses can also cause issues, and downtime results in production complications. In conclusion, CNC milling uses computer numerical control to precisely cut complex metal shapes, providing advantages over traditional machines like lower manufacturing costs.

6.0 CONCLUSION

Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) milling machining technology is mouthful, but it is also
fascinating by using computers to create metal parts and product for equipment’s and machines.
Most of the manual milling machines are converted to CNC milling machine. Thus, more efficiency
output operations with even greater precision resulted from the machining and computers. More
over this machining process helps modern design software allows simulating the manufacture idea.
Therefore is no need to make a prototype or a model and it also saves time and money.

From this activity, we have learned how to organize the CNC milling machine and understand the

operation involved. Besides that, we learned the principle of CNC machine. We gained better understanding in

the modes of operation of CNC machine. There is various type of modern CNC machines use in industrial. Different

preparatory (G codes) and miscellaneous function (M codes) is used in CNC part programming for completing a

successful CNC program. Specifically, CNC milling machine works with a computer numerical control that writes and read

G-code instructions to drive machine tool to fabricate components with a proper material removal rate. G-codes are

commands for CNC machines to follow so that they can operate on their own without human control. Zero set up is very

important step to obtain an accurate geometry of the work piece.

We also gain information about the advantages and disadvantages of CNC machines and its application. CNC machine

can be used to cut complex shapes of metal and other solid materials. The advantages of CNC machine over traditional

machine besides the availability of low cost programmable controllers played a major role in the successful

implementation of CNC on manufacturing plants.

Besides that, students also should be neat, tidy, and safely dressed, develop a responsibility for
personal safety and the safety of other students. We should never think that because we are
wearing safety goggles our eyes are safe. If the lenses are not made of approved safety shatterproof
glass, serious eye injury can occur. All safety precautions are also taken seriously with the clear
explanation from the instructor.
