What is CNC?

You may be surprised to learn that the first CNC machine was invented in the 17th century! However, it wasn't until the 1940s that engineers began to consider using the CNC more widely, and now it's a widely used tool for creating products worldwide. It allows for more precise cutting than ever before, meaning you can create multiple identical products at once.

CNC or Computer Numerical Control is a method of digitally designing a product and using that design to cut product parts. You can create this design by manually entering it into the computer. Or you can save time by using a CAM program to scan a prototype and create a design from it. Whichever design method you use, the computer will use the design to cut parts for your product from a range of materials. It can save you a lot of time if you want to create multiple identical products.

It also reduces the risk of human error in the manufacturing process. As long as you have the exact dimensions in the original design, you can simply set the machine to create the perfect product every time. You can even save your designs for future use in case you need to place more orders in the future.

 

Uses of CNC

CNC machining can be used in a large number of industries. From complex parts to large products, it can help speed up almost any manufacturing process. Using CNC is a great way to create multiple copies of the same product. That's why it's often a popular choice for engine or machine building. Making parts for gears, shafts and brakes is a day's work for CNC machines.

CNC is also heavily used in the aerospace industry because it provides excellent precision, which is important in aerospace technology. In fact, aerospace products typically have margins of only 0.00004 inches, making them impossible to produce by hand.

 

Other industries that use CNC include

Medical industry

Oil and gas industry

Transportation

Electronics

Marine industry

 

When it comes to precision cutting or high volume orders, metal CNC machine is your best option. This also gives you a wider range of material options for your project.

What is the working principle of die cutting machine?

图片
Die cutting machines are essential tools in the world of crafting and manufacturing. These machines are used to cut various materials such as paper, fabric, and even metal into specific shapes and designs. The working principle of a die cutting machine involves a combination of mechanical and hydraulic processes to achieve precise and efficient cutting. At its core, a die cutting machine operates by using a die, which is a specialized tool that is used to cut, shape, and form materials into specific designs. The die is typically made of metal and is created with a sharp, blade-like edge that is used to cut through the material. The die is mounted onto a flat surface, and the material to be cut is placed on top of it. The machine then applies pressure to the die, causing it to cut through the material and create the desired shape. The working principle of a die cutting machine can be broken down into several key components: 1. Die: The die is the primary cutting tool used in the machin...

What is flexible coupling?

图片
  A  flexible coupling  is a mechanical device whose main function is to connect two shafts and transmit power. Compared with traditional rigid couplings, flexible couplings are flexible and can absorb axis misalignment and vibration. They are designed to reduce shock and noise in mechanical systems while increasing overall system efficiency and longevity. There are many types of flexible couplings, including flexible disc couplings, elastic sleeve couplings, universal joint couplings, etc. These different types of couplings are suitable for a variety of applications, such as high-torque transmission, high-speed operation, and high-precision alignment. The advantage of choosing a flexible coupling is that it can adapt to axis misalignment and reduce vibration and noise during equipment operation. This helps protect other components of the mechanical system and prolongs its service life. In addition, flexible couplings can simplify installation and maintenance and increase...
