Advantages of Numerical Control Machines

The use of CNC allows a large number of advantages to be derived compared to NC. Some of them are:

1.  Part Program storage and editing

2.  Part program uploading and downloading

3.  Part program simulation by using tool path

4.  Tool offset data and tool life management

5.  Additional part programming facilities

6.  Enhanced part program capability

7.  Background part program preparation

8.  Additional support software for diagnostics and maintenance

9.  By using standard operating systems such as Windows 2000/XP for easier interfacing with other components of manufacturing systems.
