CNC (Computer Numerical Control) routers are computer-controlled machines designed to flawlessly carve shapes from soft materials such as wood, plastic, carbon fiber, composites or non-ferrous metals. They help to reduce production time, material waste and the frequency of manufacturing errors by creating near-identical work pieces each and every time, provided all external factors are controlled.
A CNC router is controlled by G-code which is machine-readable instructions to run the machine that controls the basic movement, time and direction of the tool heads of the machine along X (left), Y (right), and Z (top to bottom) axes. CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software converts CAD (Computer Aided Design) 3D models of the project into G-code.
This may sound complicated but, CNC routers are very easy to use and put quality control and delivery times under your control.
Industrial CNC routers can greatly increase production and operating efficiency in your organization.
