About this document
Introduction to Numerical Control (NC) by Manju Parkavi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Numerical control (NC) programming refers to controlling machine tools like mills and lathes using coded numerical instructions. Early NC used punched cards, while computer numerical control (CNC) uses computers. NC systems have a machine tool and controller. Point-to-point NC moves in straight lines, while continuous-path can vary speeds. NC programs specify where to position the tool, how to move it, the feed rate, and what to do upon arrival. Interpolation estimates values between data points. NC enables
