Numerical control machine tool is the abbreviation for digital control machine tool, which is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. This control system is capable of logically processing programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, and decoding them to enable the machine tool to operate and process parts.

Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC machine tools have the following characteristics:

High processing accuracy and stable processing quality;

Can perform multi coordinate linkage and process complex shaped parts;

When processing parts, it is generally only necessary to change the CNC program, which can save production preparation time;

The machine tool itself has high precision and rigidity, and can choose favorable processing quantities, resulting in high productivity (generally 3-5 times that of ordinary machine tools);

The high degree of automation of machine tools can reduce labor intensity;

The quality requirements for operators are higher, and the technical requirements for maintenance personnel are higher.
