Abstract

Numerical control (NC) is the greatest innovation in the achievement of machine tool automation in manufacturing. In this chapter, first a history of the development up to the advent of NC machine tools is briefly reviewed (Sect. 48.1). Then the machining centers and the turning centers are described with their key modules and integration into flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and flexible manufacturing cells (FMC) in Sect. 48.2. NC part programming is described from manual programming to the computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system in Sect. 48.3. In Sect. 48.4 and Sect. 48.5, following the technical innovations in the advanced hardware and software systems of NC machine tools, future control systems for intelligent CNC machine tools are presented.
