History of CNC
1949
US Air Force asks MIT to develop a "numerically controlled"
machine.
1952
Prototype NC machine demonstrated (punched tape input)
1980-
CNC machines (computer used to link directly to controller)
1990-
DNC: external computer “drip feeds” control programmer
to machine tool controller

Motivation and uses
To manufacture complex curved geometries in 2D or 3D
was extremely expensive by mechanical means (which
usually would require complex jigs to control the cutter
motions)
Machining components with repeatable accuracy
Unmanned machining operations

Advantages of CNC
- Easier to program;
- Easy storage of existing programs;
- Easy to change a program
- Avoids human errors
- NC machines are safer to operate
- Complex geometry is produced as cheaply as simple ones
- Usually generates closer tolerances than manual machines

Conventional milling machines

NC machines
Motion control is done by: servo-controlled motors

CNC terminology
BLU: basic length unit 
smallest programmable move of each axis.
Controller: (Machine Control Unit, MCU) 
Electronic and computerized interface between operator and m/c
Controller components:
1. Data Processing Unit (DPU)
2. Control-Loops Unit (CLU)

Controller components
Data Processing Unit:
Input device [RS-232 port/ Tape Reader/ Punched Tape Reader]
Data Reading Circuits and Parity Checking Circuits
Decoders to distribute data to the axes controllers.
Control Loops Unit:
Interpolator to supply machine-motion commands between data points
Position control loop hardware for each axis of motion

Types of CNC machines
Based on Motion Type:
Point-to-Point or Continuous path
Based on Control Loops:
Open loop or Closed loop
Based on Power Supply:
Electric or Hydraulic or Pneumatic
Based on Positioning System
Incremental or Absolute

Open Loop vs. Closed Loop controls

Open loop control of a Point-to-Point NC drilling machine
NOTE: this machine uses stepper motor control

Components of Servo-motor controlled CNC
Motor speed control
Two types of encoder configurations
Motor lead screw rotation table moves
position sensed by encoder
feedback

Motion Control and feedback
Encoder outputs: electrical pulses (e.g. 500 pulses per revolution)
Rotation of the motor  linear motion of the table: by the leadscrew
The pitch of the leadscrew: horizontal distance between successive threads
One thread in a screw  single start screw: Dist moved in 1 rev = pitch
Two threads in screw  double start screw: Dist moved in 1 rev = 2* pitch

Example 1
A Stepping motor of 20 steps per revolution moves a machine table
through a leadscrew of 0.2 mm pitch.
(a) What is the BLU of the system ?
(b) If the motor receives 2000 pulses per minute, what is the linear
velocity in inch/min ?

Example 2
A DC servo-motor is coupled to a leadscrew (pitch 5mm) of a machine table.
A digital encoder, which emits 500 pulses per revolution, is mounted on the
leadscrew. If the motor rotates at 600 rpm, find
(a) The linear velocity of the table
(b) The BLU of the machine
(c) The frequency of pulses emitted by the encoder.

Manual NC programming
Part program: A computer program to specify
- Which tool should be loaded on the machine spindle;
- What are the cutting conditions (speed, feed, coolant ON/OFF etc)
- The start point and end point of a motion segment
- how to move the tool with respect to the machine.
Standard Part programming language: RS 274-D (Gerber, GN-code)

History of CNC
The RS274-D is a word address format
Each line of program == 1 block
Each block is composed of several instructions, or (words)
Sequence and format of words:
N3 G2 X+1.4 Y+1.4 Z+1.4 I1.4 J1.4 K1.4 F3.2 S4 T4 M2
sequence no

destination coordinates dist to center of circle

Automatic part programming and DNC
Very complex part shapes  very large NC program
NC controller memory may not handle HUGE part program
computer feeds few blocks of
NC program to controller
When almost all blocks executed,
controller requests more blocks

Summary
CNC machines allow precise and repeatable control in machining
CNC lathes, Milling machines, etc. are all controlled by NC programs
NC programs can be generated manually, automatically
