How CNC Machining Made The Transition To Digital

By Amanda Graham


Manufacturing and related industrial processes all use some kind of machine or an interconnected system of various kinds of machines. Most work within an electrical grid with their own switching and special controls that today are mostly digital, but with manual overrides. Machine shops, too, have accessed modern Computer Numerical Controls that are worked into digital controls.

Cutting, grinding and finishing metal or fiberglass machine parts precisely are all classed under machining. But then, despite the existence of electronic controls, there are also relevant manual items for operator controls for these that are being made today. CNC machining California has a lot of shops in the state, all run by individual machinists or groups listed online.

As a matter of fact, most machinists today have converted to CNC machining, which is a big improvement over older and more complex machines in cutting mills or individual craftsman shops. However, the manly thing about using muscular power as one tool or part of the process is retained and is an item of pride for many workers and experts in the field.

Machines have achieved the status of legend in machining, and things like lathes and their operators have been celebrated in American lore. This was partly propaganda about how they help win wars, and the fact that they did, relevant during the Second World War. There are any number of collectible posters that feature the famous Rosie the Riveter, a woman machinist who worked in a factory manufacturing the necessary machines that rolled out of factories and rolled over Nazis.

The inanimate machines figure in the center of an emotional lore, and this is always relevant for people of the trade. Those who really like their tech stuff can have all they would want and more, though. CNC makes the most precise cuts possible, because machines and their parts often need to have cuts precise to the micrometer to be highly effective.

The computer digital electronics offer very refined variance in power output, too, for many types of materials, a way to make perfect cuts for corners and sidings, a requirement for perfectly fit and smooth operating systems. Without CNC, machinists of yore relied on their muscles to control incidental machine vibrations and perfecting cuts were always a matter of more, finer cutting and gritting to order.

Today, things that were classic during the mechanical eras are lathes, mills, routers and grinders. Some of their functions can performed together in one dedicated CNC system, an integrative method that saves time and money spent on fuel. The digital controls have taken out the levers, stops, wheels and screws that were needed for, say, calibrating cutting teeth, making for more compact and lighter machines.

Specialists all agree on how this modern system has become the byword for excellent raw materials processing. The human controls can now focus on more creative uses of physical power when handling their machines. Most everything else is possible, projects accomplished within the space of a day, deliveries of perfectly working machines to highly satisfied customers, and the most complicated projects reduced to simpler lines in a process that used take some.

Factories or large scale cutting operations have also benefited greatly from computer controlled processes. These benefits are the same as that of the individual operator. So it is possible to have more machines out and ready for people to use within short manufacturing time spans.
