 Introduction

CNC stands for computer numerical

control and these machines play an
important role in the manufacturing
industries.
Operations that were impossible years
ago are now easy thanks to CNC
machining. Just as there are many
different parts that CNC machines can
make, there are also various types of
CNC machines used to accomplish this.
Each machine differs in construction, the
way they operate and the types of
products they can make.
Working

CNC machines are run by a digitalized

computer that automates, monitors, and
controls the movement of an industrial
machine. In large industrial plants, the
computer is usually installed in the machines,
but for hobbyists’ machines, the computer is
generally attached externally.
Types of CNC Machines

1)CNC Milling Machine

2)CNC Lathe
3)CNC Router
4)CNC Plasma Cutter
5)CNC Electric Discharge
Machine
6) CNC Laser Cutter
 Advantages

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
COMPUTER NUMERICAL
CNCs unlike manual lathes / milling machines CONTROL
etc...
MACHINE
Disadvantages

1) CNC machines are more expensive than

manually operated machines
2) 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
MANUALLY OPERATED
CNC machines compared to manually CENTRE LATHE
operated machines which will lead to
unemployment.
Conclusion

In conclusion, the project report on CNC machines

provides a comprehensive overview of the key
components, working principle, advantages,
applications, and future trends in the field. CNC
machines have emerged as a game-changer in the
manufacturing industry, offering precision,
automation, and flexibility in machining operations.
Overall, the project report on CNC machines
underscores the significant impact of these
machines on the manufacturing industry.
