High precision machining
CNC - Computer Numerical Control
How CNC works
Programing
In this step, a CNC program is created specifying the instructions needed to produce the desired part. The program is created using CNC programming software and includes information about the dimensions, geometry, tools to be used and the movements required to machine the part.
Machine preparation
After programming, the CNC machine needs to be set up properly. This includes securing the workpiece to be machined on the machine's work table, installing the correct tools in the toolholders, setting reference coordinates, and checking the integrity of the machine's control and power systems.

Machining
With the machine configured and the CNC program loaded, the actual machining can take place. The CNC machine uses program coordinates and instructions to precisely control cutting tool movements, such as milling machines or lathes, to remove material and shape the part to design specifications.
Quality control
Upon completion of machining, a quality check is carried out to ensure that the part meets defined tolerances and requirements. This may involve dimensional measurements, visual inspection and other specific tests. If necessary, additional adjustments can be made to ensure the final part conforms to the required specifications.
