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.

Machine tools with advanced conversational programming capabilities supported by comprehensive training serve as a bridge across the skills gap, a way to bring new professionals into the industry and keep manufacturing alive and well in North America.
Across the emerging Smart Factory, connected systems are networking production processes from design to final delivery. Conversational programming makes it quick and easy for operators to generate programs at the machine, while other connected systems exchange and use information about tool management, batch processing/scheduling, machine monitoring, quality assurance and more.
