Computer Numeric Control:
• A system in which actions are controlled by the direct insertion of
numerical data at some point. The system must automatically
interpret at least some portion of this data.
Open Loop Systems:
• Open loop systems have no access to the real time data about the
performance of the system and therefore no immediate corrective
action can be taken in case of system disturbance.
Close Loop Systems
• In a close loop system, feed back devices closely monitor the output
and any disturbance will be corrected in the first instance. Therefore
high system accuracy is achievable.
Motion Control Systems
• 1. Point-To-Point Control in CNC: Drilling of Three Holes in Flat Plate
 System moves to a location and performs an operation at that
location (e.g., drilling) Also applicable in robotics
• 2. Continuous path control in CNC :
• Also called contouring systems in machining.
• System performs an operation during movement (e.g., milling and
turning)
Elements of a CNC system
• Input Device
• Central Processing Unit/ Machine Control Unit
• Machine Tool
• Driving System
• Feedback Devices
• Display Unit
Machine axes
• Machine axes are established according to the industry standard
report EIA RS - 267A
Axes configuration
 X axes moves from right to left as you face the machine
 Y axes move toward and away from you
 The Z axes is the spindle movement up and down spindle .
 A move toward work is Z(-Z)
 A move away from work is Z(+ Z)
Advantages and Disadvantages of CNC
• Advantages:
High Repeatability and Precision e.g. Aircraft parts.
 Volume of production is very high.
Complex contours/surfaces can be easily machined.
 Flexibility in job change, automatic tool settings, less scrap.
 More safe, higher productivity, better quality.
 Less paper work, faster prototype production, reduction in lead
times.
• Disadvantages:
Costly setup, skilled operators.
 Computer programming knowledge required.
Maintenance is difficult.
