The basic principle of CNC machining is to issue instructions through the control system to make the tool move according to the predetermined program to complete the machining of the workpiece. This processing method relies on computer technology and modern control technology, making mechanical machining more precise and efficient. The movement and auxiliary actions of CNC machine tools are all controlled by the instructions issued by the CNC system, thus achieving a high degree of automation and intelligence.
CNC machining has a wide range of applications: automotive parts manufacturing; drone parts manufacturing; medical equipment parts; medical industry products; robot parts; automation equipment parts; injection mold parts; die-casting mold parts, etc. CNC machining can be used for processing or production related to metal parts.
CNC machining can be divided into: CNC turning and CNC milling.
CNC turning: the workpiece rotates, and the turning tool moves along a straight line or curve. Below is a picture of a CNC lathe:

CNC milling: the milling cutter rotates, and the milling cutter moves along a straight line or curve. Below is a picture of a CNC milling machine:
In order to have a deeper understanding of the charm of CNC machining, I will learn about it through pictures and videos of a "impeller" product processed in our factory:

The processing of "impeller" is considered a medium-difficulty product in CNC processing. Because it requires a "5-axis CNC engraving machine" to process。
