What is Cnc Router? What is it used to for?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) means 'computer enumeration administration'. CNC machines are the "automatic" processing machines that are programmed via a computer mounted on them.
G (preparation) codes, M (auxiliary) codes are used to use (program) CNC machines. There are two types of standards in the programming of CNC machines.
Within the framework of these standards, machine manufacturers have further developed and diversified these code systems. Today, CAD (computer aided design) and CAM (computer aided manufacturing) programs are used for more efficient, faster and error-free programming of CNC machines.
These machines work with a router (path to follow) X, Y, Z, axis, that is, with a logic that can be moved in series by the computer, right-left, forward-backward, upward and downward, which means that a drawing or project designed in the computer can be converted into a digital and processed precisely.
In general, in CNC Roter machines, 2 and/or 3D product drawings created with Corel Draw or Autocad are started by converting G-Code into numerical coordinate with Mach series programs for cutting process. At this stage, it is possible to perform tool path extraction and other applications before mach with programs such as artcam alfacam solidcam.
What kind of materials can be cut in Cnc Router?
Materials such as Aluminum, Wood, PVC, Plexiglas, leather, fabric, copper, brass can be carved or scraped or cut onrouter benches except for steel. Although it is technically thought that stainless steel material can also be cut, this is not possible since there is not yet a diamond milling tool with the hardness and density to process it.
