CNC Solutions

Early machine tools were designed so that the operator was standing in front of the machine while operating the controls This design is no longer necessary since in CNC the operator no longer controls the machine tool movements On conventional machine tools only about 20 percent of the time was spent removing material With the addition of electronic controls actual time spent removing metal has increased to 80 percent and even

higher It has also reduced the amount of time required to bring the cutting tool into each machining position

Machine Types Lathe

The engine lathe one of the most productive machine tools has

always been an efficient means of producing round parts  Most lathes are programmed on two axes

 The X axis controls the cross motion of the cutting tool Negative X X moves the tool towards the spindle

centerline positive X moves the tool away from the spindle centerline

 The Z axis controls the carriage travel toward or away from the headstock

Milling Machine

The milling machine has always been one of the most versatile machine tools used in industry Fig 5 Operations such as milling contouring gear cutting drilling boring and reaming are only a few of the many operations which can be performed on a milling machine The milling machine can be programmed on

three axes

 The X axis controls the table movement left or right

 The Y axis controls the table movement toward or away from

the column

 The Z axis controls the vertical up or down movement of

the knee or spindle
