WEEK-14 CNC Machines and Automation
Title: CNC Machines and
Automation
• Understanding the Basics of CNC & Manufacturing Automation
Introduction to CNC Machines
• an overview of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines.
• It explains how CNC technology evolved from manual machining
to automated processes, significantly improving precision,
repeatability, and efficiency.
• CNC machines use computer programs to control machining tools
like lathes, mills, and drills.
• The slide also highlights the advantages of CNC over traditional
machines, such as higher accuracy, reduced human error, and the
ability to produce complex designs with ease.
Basics of CNC Machining
• Here, we break down the fundamental components and working principles of
CNC machines. Key elements include:
1.Controller – The brain of the CNC system, responsible for executing
programmed instructions.
2.Machine Tool – The actual hardware performing operations like cutting,
milling, or drilling.
3.Actuators – Motors and servo drives that control movement and positioning.
4.Feedback System – Sensors and encoders that provide real-time data for
precise adjustments.
• Additionally, different types of CNC machines are introduced, including CNC
lathes (used for turning), CNC mills (used for cutting), and specialized
machines like plasma cutters and routers.
Components of a CNC system

•Controller (CNC Software & Hardware)


•Machine Tool (Lathe, Milling, Drilling, etc.)
•Actuators (Motors, Servo Drives)
•Feedback System (Sensors & Encoders)
•Types of CNC machines (Lathe, Milling, Router, Plasma Cutter, etc.)
CNC Machine Programming
• This slide focuses on the programming aspect of CNC machining. It
introduces G-Code and M-Code, which are the languages CNC machines
understand.
• G-Code: Controls movements (e.g., positioning, cutting speed).
• M-Code: Controls auxiliary functions (e.g., tool changes, coolant operation).
The slide also covers:
• The basic structure of a CNC program (with a simple example).
• CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided
Manufacturing) software used for designing and generating CNC code.
• The importance of precision and error-free programming to avoid
material wastage and machine damage.
Introduction to Automation in
Manufacturing
• Automation is the key to modern industrial production. This slide explains:
1.What is Automation? – The use of technology to perform manufacturing tasks
with minimal human intervention.
2.Types of Automation in Manufacturing:
1. Fixed Automation: Used in mass production, like assembly lines.
2. Programmable Automation: Used for batch production, allowing flexibility in
product design.
3. Flexible Automation: A system that adapts quickly to design changes, common in
customized manufacturing.

3.Impact of Robotics and AI in Manufacturing – How smart machines and


artificial intelligence optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance production
speed.
• This
slide prepares learners to understand how CNC machining fits into the
broader automation landscape.
