Computer Numerical Control basically involves control of a machining process by a program to obtain desired results.

CNC machining is very advantageous compared to the conventional machining like setup time reduction, higher accuracy and repeatability etc. The computer control unit of a CNC machine has two parts. The first part is operation panel the second one is control panel (Key pad and display screen). Both of these are operated by the operator according to the part that is to be manufactured. Inspection can be done by two ways, one is manual inspection by vision or using instruments like micrometer, depth gauges, and the other is by using inspecting machines like Tesa-microhite 600.
