Introduction to numerical control of machines
Abstract
Functional principles of closed loop numerical control and different machines susceptible to this control technique are discussed. The design of a numerical control box is considered. Sensors and methods of industrial measurement are described. Programming numerically controlled machine jobs and programming part specifications are treated. Setting up a lathing operation is explained to show how theory can be put into practice. A numerically controlled press folding setup is also depicted.
