CNC Machining and It’s Uses in Dies Manufacturing
CNC Machining (Computerized Numerical Control) is complex process and difficult to understand too. Let’s take a look and understand what the process is and how it works?
CNC Machining is a manufacturing process where computers run programs that control how the machines will manufacture parts. These CNC Programs using CNC Software can control everything from the motions the machine makes to spindle speed, turning coolant on or off, and much more.
CNC Machines guide by computer programs, very common language that been used by CNC is “G-Code”.
CNC is the acronym for Computer Numerical Control. It is an outgrowth of the older term “NC”, which stands for “Numerical Control“. It refers to the idea of controlling machine tools via computer. CNC Machines are robots of a sort. With the older “NC” term, a computer need not be involved. The machine might be controlled using, for example, punched tape.
How the CNC programs instructs the machine:
A die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing to cut or shape material, mostly using a press. Products made with dies range in size from small to complex pieces, including punches, dies, steel rule dies, and die sets. Precision is key in die making; punches and dies must maintain proper clearance to produce parts accurately, and it’s often necessary to have die sets machined with tolerances of less than one thousandth of an inch.
Manufacturer of Dies uses the CNC to ensure the quality and accuracy. CNC engineers have extensive experience with components intended for use with a wide variety of tool and die machinery. Tool making typically refers to the manufacturing of tools and aids often used to produce products, and common tooling includes fixtures, jigs, gauges, molds, dies, cutting equipment, and patterns.

How the CNC programs instructs the machine:
- How fast to turn the spindle
- How fast to move the cutter
- Direction to move the cutter in each axis (X, Y, and Z for 3 axis)
- What cutter to use if the machine has a tool changer
- When to turn coolant and or off
