Computer controlled machining equipment is replacing conventional machines in machine shops at an increasing pace, as the cost of equipment and support decreases, while the machines themselves provide increasing capabilities. Whether you are using turning or milling equipment, the benefits of exploitation of these machines is quickly evident. There is a high level of repeatability and precision is difficult to be matched by standard machining processes. Control of the equipment is done through coded program, which is usually done at the level of coding languages broadly classified as machine type.
Key Takeaways:
- The global CNC machine market size is expected to exceed USD 100 billion by 2025.
- Breton S.p.A and KNUTH Machine Tools are two of the leading CNC machine manufacturers in the world.
- Laguna Tools manufactures CNC machinery for woodworking Industries, while Hasil Karya operates in the aluminum and sheet metal industries.
