Machine Controls
The computer numerical control (CNC) system of a machine tool includes the control unit hardware and software, sensors and probes used for process monitoring capabilities that enable the control unit to make decisions during machining, and the servomotors, drives and axis positioning devices used for motion control.
The Benefits of Jig Grinding with 5-Axis Machining
Machine shops will remain competitive by utilizing jig grinding on a 5-axis machining center to produce complex parts that require milling and grinding surfaces. In addition to ROI, manufacturers will achieve better accuracy and productivity, among other advantages.
