INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
A system in which actions are controlled by the direct insertion of numerical data at
some point. The system must automatically interpret at least some portion of this data.
In a simple word, a CNC system receives numerical data, interpret the data and then
control the action accordingly.
1.2 History
In 1947, numerical control was evolved and started when John C. Parsons of the Parsons
Corporation, Travel city, Michigan, a manufacturer of helicopter rotor blades was not
able to make his templates fast. At that time, he invented a way o coupling computer
equipment with a jig borer. In 1952 MIT i.e. Massachusetts Institute of technology took
over the total job and the term numerical control was evolved at MIT.
CNC machines have the wide range of applications and this becomes an important
feature of using CNC machines. It is widely used in metal cutting industry to
manufacture the following type of products:
Some common or basic types of CNC machines used in firms or industries are:
Drilling device
Punching device
Grinding device
Laser cutting device
Water jet cutting device
Industrial robot
Electro discharge device
2.2 BENEFITS
1. CNC machines can be used continuously 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and only
need to be switched off for occasional maintenance.
2. CNC machines are programmed with a design which can then be manufactured
hundreds or even thousands of times. Each manufactured product will be exactly the
same.
3. Less skilled/trained people can operate CNCs unlike manual lathes / milling machines
etc. which need skilled engineers.
4. CNC machines can be updated by improving the software used to drive the machines
5. Training in the use of CNCs is available through the use of ‘virtual software’. This is
software that allows the operator to practice using the CNC machine on the screen of a
computer. The software is similar to a computer game.
7. Modern design software allows the designer to simulate the manufacture of his/her
idea. There is no need to make a prototype or a model. This saves time and money.
8. One person can supervise many CNC machines as once they are programmed they can
usually be left to work by themselves. Sometimes only the cutting tools need replacing
occasionally.
9. A skilled engineer can make the same component many times. However, if each
component is carefully studied, each one will vary slightly. A CNC machine will
manufacture each component as an exact match.
2.4 DRAWBACKS
1. CNC machines are more expensive than manually operated machines, although costs
are slowly coming down.
2. The CNC machine operator only needs basic training and skills, enough to supervise
several machines. In years gone by, engineers needed years of training to operate center
lathes, milling machines and other manually operated machines. This means many of the
old skills are been lost.
3. Less workers are required to operate CNC machines compared to manually operated
machines. Investment in CNC machines can lead to unemployment.
4. Many countries no longer teach pupils / students how to use manually operated lathes /
milling machines etc... Pupils / students no longer develop the detailed skills required by
engineers of the past. These include mathematical and engineering skills.

CNC MILLING MACHINE AND THEIR PARTS
Milling is the process of cutting and drilling material (like wood or metal). A milling
machine, regardless of whether it’s operated manually or through CNC, uses a rotating
cylindrical tool called a milling cutter. It is held in a spindle and can vary in form and
size.
The main difference between a milling machine and any other drilling machine is the
ability to cut in different angles and move along different axes. For this reason, there are
several kinds of milling machines, which are designated by number of movement axes:
2-axis milling machines can cut holes and slots in the x- and z-axes. In other
words, this machine will only cut vertically and horizontally (but only in one
direction).
3-axis milling machines add the y-axis. This is the most common variety of
milling machine. You can cut vertically and, in any direction, but an object like a
sphere will need to be done one half at a time. This is because, even with three
axes, it’s not possible to cut from below.
4-axis milling machines are more complex because they add the ability to rotate
the x-axis, similar to a lathe.
5-axis milling machines incorporate rotation in both the x- and y-axes. This is the
most complete milling machine you can have. It allows you to shape bones,
aerospace structures, car models, medical products, and pretty much anything else
you can imagine.
CNC milling machines can have any number of axes (2 to 5) but are operated
through a computer. No manual operation required.
2.2 CNC MILLING PARTS
A CNC milling machine mainly consists of following parts:
I. Frame
The frame supports the machine and provides rigidity to resist cutting forces.
Typically, there is a base with a detachable column.
CNC Milling Machine Frames are most commonly made of cast iron. Other
possibilities include weldments with epoxy granite fill and aluminum.
II. Table
The table is where a work holding solution of some kind holds the workpiece for
machining. Most milling machine tables use T-Slots to attach work holding to the
table. You can make a T-Slot table even more useful and versatile by mounting a
Fixture Plate on it.
III. Spindle
The spindle is the heart of any milling machine. It consists of a rotating assembly
with a taper where tool holders may be installed.
A motor with optional transmission of some kind rotates the spindle.
IV. Axes
The axes of a CNC Milling Machine allow motion using Cartesian coordinates
programmed via g-code and via manual jogging from the control panel.
Generally, there are 3 axes that correspond to X, Y, and Z. An optional 4th Axis is
an accessory for CNC Milling Machines. 5 axis milling machines are possible but
not very common in the DIY CNC world.
V. CNC Controller
The CNC Controller is the brains of the machine. It contains the electronics that
drive the axis motors to move the axes.
CNC Controllers are responsible for accepting G-Code and manual inputs from
the CNC Control Panel and converting that into the proper signals to control the
Axis Stepper or Servo Motors.
