The document discusses the history and development of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. It traces the origins of CNC from the 1950s US Air Force need for precision machining, through the development of programming languages in the late 1950s and 1960s, to the introduction of PC-based control systems in the 1980s and 1990s. It then provides descriptions of common CNC machine tool types and details their technical specifications and applications.

1955 - US Air Force define a need to develop a machine tool capable of
machining complex and close tolerance aircraft parts.
1959 - MIT is the contractor and builds the machine for the project. MIT announces Automatic Programmed Tools (APT) programming language 1960 - Direct Numerical Control (DNC). This eliminates paper tape and allows programmers to send files directly to machine tools 1980s - CNC machine is introduced. Unix and PC based systems 1997 - PC- Windows operating system is attached to cnc Turning Centers Milling Centers Vertical Machining Centers Horizontal Machining Centers Drilling Machines EDM Machines Laser-Cutting Machines Spindle in a vertical orientation.
VMCs are high-precision
Used for tight-tolerance
Spindle in a horizontal orientation.
Horizontal orientation encourages
chips to fall away.
HMCs are high-precision
Used for tight-tolerance
Controlled by G and M codes. These are number values and co-ordinates. Each number or code is assigned to a particular operation. Typed in manually to CAD by machine operators. G & M codes are automatically generated by the computer software. O - Program number N - Sequence number G - Preparatory function X - X axis designation Y - Y axis designation Z - Z axis designation R - Radius designation F Feed rate designation S - Spindle speed designation H - Tool length offset designation D - Tool radius offset designation T - Tool Designation M - Miscellaneous function G00 Rapid Transverse G01 Linear Interpolation G02 Circular Interpolation, CW G03 Circular Interpolation, CCW G20/G70 Inch units G8 Cancel canned cycles G81 Drilling cycle G82 Counter boring cycle G83 Deep hole drilling cycle G90 Absolute positioning G91 Incremental positioning M00 Program stop M01 Optional program stop M02 Program end M03 Spindle on clockwise M04 Spindle on counterclockwise M05 Spindle stop M06 Tool change M08 Coolant on M09 Coolant off M10 Clamps on M11 Clamps off M30 Program stop, reset to start CNC machine manufactures this items

Corrosion protection of the machined surface
STRAIGHT OILS -Non-emulsifiable and are used in machining operations in an undiluted form they are composed of a petroleum oil , lubricants such as fats, vegetable oils ( BEST LUBRICATION )
SOLUBLE OILS -Contain no petroleum or mineral oil , composed of
alkaline inorganic and organic compounds ( BEST COOLING )
SEMISYNTHETIC FLUIDS- Emulsion when mixed with water
( LEAST EXPENSIVE )
SYNTHETIC FLUIDS-Combination of synthetic and soluble oil fluids
( COST AND HEAT TRANSFER PERFORMANCE ) High Accuracy e.g. Aircraft parts Production rate is very high Complex surfaces need to be machined Flexibility in job change , automatic tool settings More safe , higher productivity , better quality Less paper work , faster prototype production Costly setup
