1.1.2 Composition of CNC Technology
CNC Machining technology is the integration of modern manufacturing technology, design technology, material technology, information technology, drawing technology, control technology, testing technology and related external support technologies, which consists of machine tool attachments, numerical control systems and their peripheral technologies. Figure 1-4 shows the composition of CNC technology for machine tools.
1.1.3 application fields of CNC technology
Table 1-2 application fields of numerical control technology
| Serial number | Application leader | detailed description |
| 1 | Manufacturing industry | Manufacturing industry is the first industry to apply numerical control technology, which is responsible for providing advanced equipment for various industries of national economy.In modern production, many important equipment are CNC equipment, such as high-performance three axis and five axis high-speed vertical machining center, five axis machining center, large-scale five axis gantry milling machine, etc;Automotive industry engines,CNC machine tools and high-speed machining centers for gearbox and crankshaft flexible machining lines, welding equipment, assembly equipment, painting robot, plate laser welding machine and laser cutting machine, etc;High speed 5-axis machining center for propeller, engine, generator and turbine blade parts in aviation, shipbuilding and power generation industries, heavy vehicle iron composite machining center, etc |
| 2 | Information Industry | In the information industry, from computer to network, mobile communication, telemetry, remote control and other equipment, we need to use manufacturing equipment based on ultra precision technology and nanotechnology, such as lead bonding machine, wafer bonding machine and lithography machine for chip manufacturing, and the control of these equipment needs to adopt numerical control technology |
| 3 | Medical equipment industry | In the medical industry, many modern medical diagnosis and treatment equipment use numerical control technology, such as CT diagnostic instrument, whole body gamma knife treatment machine and minimally invasive surgery robot based on visual guidance |
| 4 | military equipment | Many modern military equipment use a lot of motion control technology, such as automatic aiming control of artillery, tracking control of radar and automatic tracking control of missile |
| 5 | Other industries | Printing machinery, textile machinery, packaging machinery and woodworking machinery with multi axis servo control (up to dozens of motion axes);CNC water jet cutting machine for stone processing,;CNC glass engraving machine for glass processing, CNC machine for mattress processing and CNC embroidery machine for garment processing |
