changes.
5
Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
• “Computer numerical control is an NC
system that utilizes a dedicated stored
program computer to perform some or all
of the basic numerical control functions” 1).
It is often refered to “soft wired”.
• Reprogramming the unit provide flexibility
and improving product varieties.
