Numerical control (NC) is a technology that directs the operations of machine tools using programmed numerical data. Developed in the 1950s in the United States and later adopted in Japan, NC transformed manufacturing by automating the machining process, leading to precise and efficient production.
NC is integral to the manufacturing of precision components across various industries, including electronics, interior design, medical devices, and semiconductors. Its applications range from creating intricate parts for electronics to fabricating complex components for medical devices.
The core of NC technology is the NC program, which outlines tool paths, machining sequences, spindle speeds, and other operational parameters. This program is executed by a servo mechanism that controls the machine's movements, ensuring accurate and efficient machining of the workpiece.
With advancements in computing, NC has evolved into CNC (computerized numerical control), becoming a standard in modern manufacturing for its precision, repeatability, and efficiency.
