Computer Numerical Control - the method by which "machine made" instruments are made.
Computer numerically controlled. Popular type of control system for vertical machining centers, lathes, injection molding machines, and other tools used to fabricate a valve.
Computer Numerical Control for automated lathe and mill work.
omputerised umerical ontrol. This is the control of a process or machine by encoded commands. A computer commonly prepares these. Clamp - Clamps are recommended for smaller, complicated applications where material is put onto the machine and sewn before being removed and the next piece inserted Jig- A device for holding material to be sewn by the machine in place. To decrease the time taken between sewing cycles a jig ejects system can be fitted to increase efficiency. ISM – Industrial Sewing Machines Lockstitch - stitch made on some sewing machines by the interlocking of the upper thread and the lower thread. PLK - Mitsubishi range of automated sewing machines Poke Yoke – Japanese term meaning fool proofing. Spool - A cylinder on which wire, thread, or string is wound.
Computer Numerical Controlled Machine Tools.
chloroacetophenone in chloroform (riot control agent)
Communications language used in some robotics and larger machine-controlled cutting devices such as industrial mills and lathes.
Computer Numerical Controlled. Machinery following electronic commands to improve precision and productivity.
Computer Numerical Control. CNC software provides a machine with instructions describing how to manufacture an item. This is similar to CAM but is specific to each machine. CNC machines are most often used for precision cutting, drilling, or shaping of metal products.
Computer Numerically Controlled milling machines, also known by the brand-name, Fadal, which have a margin of error as low as one ten-thousandth of an inch; they enable us to cut and shape guitar parts, and thus build guitars, with much greater precision than is possible working by hand alone.
Computer Numerical Control. A CAM technology using computers to control cutting machines such as milling machines and lathes to cut specified three-dimensional shapes. CNC has been used since the early 1970s. Prior to this, machines were controlled by prepared tapes and the process was called simply Numerical Control (NC).
computer numerical control, usually refers to machines which operate under closed-loop control by means of a programmed computer
Abbreviation for computer numerically controlled.
Industry acronym for "Computer Numerical Control."
Computer Numerical Control. A form of programmable automation in which the machine tool is controlled by a program in computer memory. CNC code contains a program of instructions and commands, which consists of numbers, letters, and other symbols. See also NC
Abbr. Computer Numerical Control - Computer inside a machine, controlling its motion
Allows the control of motion in an accurate and programmable manner through use of a dedicated computer within a numerical control unit, with a capability of local data input such that machine tools are freed from the need for "hard-wired" controllers.
computer numerical control. Refers to a machine tool which is operated under automatic control, as opposed to manually by an operator.
Computer Numerical Control. A machining process where the entire process; tool cutter path, feed of tool, rotational speed of tool, and the linear or circular movement of the toolpath are all controled by machine. Using either direct operator input data MDI for some operations and CAM (Computer Assisted Manufacturing) to generate the toolpaths that the machine will follow.
Milling Machine A CNC (Computer Numeric Controls) milling machine uses CAD/CAM cutter paths to cut away metal blocks into the various parts of an injection mold and then add the cavities and ejector pin holes.
computer numerically controlled - refers to machinery
Computerized Numerical Control
Computer Numerical Control allows machines to be operated from PLCs by means of a numerical code.
Computer Numerical Control (that increasingly drives steel fabrication shop machines)
Computer Numerical Control. Manufacturing software that interfaces with a specific machine, providing precise mathematical instructions on how to manufacture a piece.
This is an acronym for Computer Numerical Control. In basic terms, a CNC machine has a computer that is controlling the machine's motion. For lasers, CNC is used to control motion tables or for positioning the workpiece beneath the focused laser beam. See G-Code.
(n) Acronym for computer numeric control, which describes a form of programmable automation of a machine tool using a computer in the controller unit. In a computer controlled manufacturing center, the individual machines would use CNC programs, either sent from a main computer or programmed locally.
computer numeric control. (n) See CNC.
The abbreviation CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, and refers specifically to a computer "controller" that reads G-code instructions and drives the machine tool, a powered mechanical device typically used to fabricate metal components by the selective removal of metal. CNC does numerically directed interpolation of a cutting tool in the work envelope of a machine.
