In today’s Industry 4.0 era, machining and manufacturing products with CNC technology has become an inevitable trend. CNC technology not only helps improve product quality with high precision but also optimizes the production process, reducing costs and time. In the article below, we will explore the outstanding advantages of CNC technology as well as discover the product quality that CNC machining brings.
1. What is CNC Machining?
CNC machining (Computer Numerical Control) is a mechanical machining process performed by computers based on high-tech control systems. Instead of performing manual operations, CNC machines are pre-programmed to carry out automated machining tasks according to preset parameters.
The quality of CNC-machined products is evaluated by various factors, including precision, surface finish, and customization capability.
2. Outstanding Advantages of CNC in Product Machining
CNC machining in production offers many superior advantages compared to traditional machining methods. Below are some notable benefits of this technology:
2.1 High Precision
One of the biggest advantages of CNC machining is its ability to produce products with high precision. CNC machines are programmed based on preset parameters to perform cutting, drilling, and milling with accuracy down to the millimeter.
2.2 Surface Finish
In addition to high precision, the surface finish of CNC-machined products is also an important factor that determines the final quality. CNC machining allows the creation of smooth surfaces, enhancing aesthetics and extending product lifespan.
2.3 Increased Production Efficiency
Automated CNC machines can operate continuously without breaks, helping to increase productivity while saving time, labor, and costs.
2.4 Easy Quality Control
CNC machining allows strict monitoring and quality control thanks to advanced sensor systems and monitoring mechanisms. Errors during the production process can be detected and corrected in time, ensuring products always meet standards before being released to the market.
3. Common Types of CNC Machines
Depending on the purpose and field of machining, different CNC machines can be selected. Below are the most commonly used CNC machines in today’s machining and manufacturing industry:
3.1 CNC Lathe
CNC lathes are used to machine round parts such as shafts, wheels, holes, and threads… by rotating the material and cutting off layers across its surface. Currently, the two most commonly used types are 2-axis and 4-axis lathes, capable of performing cutting tasks quickly and with high precision.
3.2 CNC Milling Machine
CNC milling machines operate opposite to lathes. Instead of rotating the material, the CNC milling machine holds the material in place and moves the cutting tool around to create the required shape. Additionally, CNC milling machines are also used to measure distances with considerable accuracy.
3.3 CNC Drilling-Milling Machine
A CNC drilling-milling machine combines both milling and drilling functions, allowing two machining operations to be performed simultaneously. This multifunctional machine is widely used in mechanical engineering, electronic component manufacturing, and woodworking.
3.4 CNC Plasma Cutting Machine
CNC plasma machines are used to cut metals such as aluminum, copper, and steel by using the high temperature of plasma to melt and cut through the material. Plasma machines are popular with various models such as handheld and mini machines.
3.5 CNC Laser Cutting Machine
CNC laser cutting machines use laser technology to cut different materials, from thin ones like paper and wood to hard ones like metal and stone. The laser cutting process is fully automated, ensuring high precision products that meet strict machining standards.
These are some of the CNC machines commonly used today in the machining and manufacturing industry. Each type of machine works best with certain materials, and when used appropriately, they produce highly precise, stable, and high-quality products. In particular, aluminum is a metal widely applied in components requiring high precision, so choosing and using the right CNC machine is even more important.
