What is CNC

Pro Engineering, Inc.

Do you know what CNC stands for?

Computer Numerical Control - The method of controlling machines by the application of computers and circuitry. Machine movements that are controlled by cams, gears, levers, or screws in conventional machines are directed by computers and digital circuitry in computer numerical control (CNC) machines.

The first Numerical control machines were built in the 1940s, with motors that moved the controls to follow points fed into the system on punched tape. These early servomechanisms were rapidly improved with digital computers, creating the modern CNC machine tools that have revolutionized the machining processes. Modern CNC machines offer increased productivity and flexibility.
