CNC machines are widely used in machining processes. Follow 5 very important information on the subject and see how Industry 4.0 influences the development of technologies for the sector.

5 Key Information About CNC Machines

  1. What Are CNC Machines?

CNC is the acronym for “Computer Numerical Control”. CNC lathe machine can be understood as equipment used by industry to manipulate manufacturing tools.

The CNC lathe, for example, uses computer programming to manufacture parts. In this case, the CNC lathe is one of the types of CNC machines, which we will talk about in more detail below.

  1. WHAT ARE CNC MACHINES?

 CNC LATHE

The CNC lathe is a machine that produces high-precision parts through rotational movement. It is widely used for the manufacture of cylindrical and spherical objects.

CNC Milling Machine

This machine is one of the most used in the industry. Its rotary tool is capable of cutting metal to form parts of different sizes and shapes.

Machining Centers

Machining centers are machines that use equipment such as milling heads, drill, reamer, end mill, tap, among others, in order to perform specific operations on the product, such as: milling, drilling, boring, planing , opening internal threads, etc.

Wire EDM

In wire EDM, a wire-shaped electrode (with a diameter comparable to that of a needle) is controlled via computer software to follow a certain path and cut a very narrow groove along a part to achieve a desired shape.

  1. Innovative CNC Machining Technologies

With the emergence of Industry 4.0, innovative methods have been used to cut raw materials, such as electrical discharges, high pressure water jets and even plasma.

Such technologies help CNC machines to achieve higher productivity, better part finish and waste reduction.

  1. Should Companies Be Prepared for Industry 4.0?

One of the main information for those who work with CNC machines concerns the implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts. For this to happen in a productive way, it is necessary to obtain knowledge on the subject, seeking to evaluate the current scenario of the company and how it can be modernized.

In addition, it is necessary to invest in Industry 4.0 solutions to increase machinery efficiency and productivity, aiming to gain more competitiveness in the market.

For this, it is very important to have strategic alliances integrated with the economy that help the manager apply new technologies on the factory floor, allowing the company to compete on equal terms with the market.

  1. Where to Find CNC Machines

When taking into account all the changes that CNC machines are going through (and will still be going through) because of Industry 4.0, the question arises: where to find updated CNC machines ?
