What is a CNC machine ?
AEI504.88 to 89 3
• It is a system in which programmed numerical values are
directly inserted and stored on some form of input
medium and automatically read and decoded to cause a
corresponding movement in the machine which it is
controlling.

Advantages
• High degree of quality due to accuracy, repeatability, and
freedom from operator-introduced variations.
AEI504.88 to 89 6
• Lower tooling costs due to less need for complex jigs
and fixtures.

Disadvantages
AEI504.88 to 89 8
• CNC will not totally eliminate errors. Operators can still
fail to push the correct buttons, make incorrect
alignments, and fail to locate parts properly in a fixture.
