Basic Components of an NC System
NC Procedure
Absolute positioning
Locations defined relative to origin of axis
system
Incremental positioning
Locations defined relative to previous
position
Example: drilling
Absolute vs. Incremental Positioning
Hybrid CNC
Machine tool control / Types of CNC
Straight CNC
Advantages of CNC
Part program tape and tape reader are used only once
Tape editing at the machine site
Metric conversion
Greater flexibility
DNC(Direct Numerical Control)
DNC can be defined as a manufacturing
system in which a number of machines
are controlled by a computer through
direct connection and real time.
