WOODCARVING & ACCESSORIES

My Bestfriend's Name Is CNC: The Company’s Perspective

CNC machine tools are recognized all over the world because of three main factors: automation, accuracy and versatility. Human (operator) treatment is reduced to minimal levels because CNC machines may run on its own after it's programmed. Also, when the program is perfected, the CNC machine may run the instructions completely on its own.

Remember that any CNC machine may also be programmed to do special one-time duties such as a dry-run, which will help the owner oversee what will happen whenever s/he leaves the CNC machine to do it's tasks alone. Accuracy also goes hand in hand with repeatability. Once again, once the program is perfected, the CNC machine can perform that task PERFECTLY even until Seven or 7000 times.

Finally, versatility also works as “task memory” that these CNC machines have. Once a program has been performed actually for just one production run, it can be easily recollected the next time that the company needs the program. This saves time for setting up and launching of different programs.

The CNC sure simplifies the work of thousands of factories and machine stores worldwide. However, no matter how excellent CNC sounds like, it is something that doesn’t easily fit in some industries. Like, perhaps, in the cosmetic industry, or perhaps in the show-business. Those examples are way too obvious. On the other hand, during these two major mechanical industries, CNC is almost synonymous to “hero”.

THE Metal industry

Think of Metal. Metal. Perhaps the easiest steel that you can imagine is that of…a spoon. Now, imagine ANY spoon done with bare hands. After that, imagine a thousand spoons done with uncovered hands. It’s so tedious you might even consider suicide if you are assigned to such a job. 

The actual metal industry has been operating on CNC for a long time. In fact, if you search CNC in the internet, you will instantly find metal companies topping the list. The major CNC centers that you will find in most steel machining processes are “CNC turning centers”, “CNC machining centers”, “CNC grinding centers” and “CNC drill and faucet centers”.

Some of the CNC programs that are associated with the metal industry are milling, drilling, reaming, boring and tapping. Furthermore, any metal that has any kind of curved side have experienced some form of knurling, grooving, turning and/or threading.

Fabrication, in manufacturing, refers to processes which are executed on thin plates/sheets. These sheets are cut, punched, and bent to form their own finishing shapes. CNC also superstars in almost every aspect of steel fabrication.

THE WOODWORKING Business

While the most beautiful wood-worked products are probably hand-made, you cannot deny that a wide array of tools and furniture HAVE to be NOT hand-made to save time and for mass production levels. There’s just too much work and not to a lot of hands. In light with this, CNC did wonders for this industry.

Important woodworking processes include reducing, framing, carving and engraving. Probably the most useful woodworking CNC product is the CNC router table. It is able to carving elaborate 2D as well as 3D designs. Moreover, it is also capable of material change while repeating the same design. Because contemporary furniture is often a a little different materials (e.grams.  Wood, aluminum and/or plastic), any CNC router is capable of reproducing the same design EVEN in different types of materials by just altering the actual router bit.

Although many local, middle-sized enterprise owners are suspicious about using employing CNC within their manufacturing operations, there have been numerous success stories to sway these phones using it anyway. In the Metal and Woodworking industries, CNC has proven itself time and again to become efficient.

It saves some time and efforts in production as well as (more importantly) back-jobs. If you’re venturing to 1 of these industries, remember that the word "labor" isn’t something social anymore -- it’s technological. And start calling CNC your best friend.
