CAM/CNC. Computer-Aided Machining and Computer Numerically Controlled Machines.Edition 1.1. An NCMS Technology Deployment Document

摘要

Computer-aided machining (CAM) defines and creates the program that derives a CNCmachine. CAM/CNC uses a computer to control the machining sequence of a machine tool, offering considerable benefits over manually controlled machine tools. Faster production, higher accuracy, better quality, more consistency, and extended capability are some of the significant benefits noted. CAM/CNC systems can also be linked to CAD systems to provide even greater productivity, flexibility, and quality improvements. The NCMS Technology Insights report provides information on the selection of hardware and software of CAM/CNC systems, and identifies trends in tooling and controls, as well as offering additional references and resources.
