Unit 1 History of NC Good morning, everyone! Monday, May 7th, 2007 Questions: Why is NC popular in shops and factories? What is CAP? Who made the first NC machine? When? What mediums did the earlier NC machines run off? Which one is more common? What kind of system has been developed recently?

In simple terms, a numerical control machine is a machine positioned automatically along a preprogrammed path by means of coded instructions. Machines may be programmed manually or with the aid of a computer. Manual programming is called manual part programming. Advances in microelectronics and microcomputers have allowed the computer to be used as the control unit on modern numerical control machinery. This computer takes the place of the tape reader found on early NC machines. Early NC machines ran off punched cards and tape, with tape becoming the more common medium. Due to the efforts required to change or edit tape, computers were later introduced as aids in programming. Computer aided programming languages allowed a part programmer to develop an NC program using a set of universal “pidgin English” commands, which the computer then translated into machine codes and punched into the tape. Although some companies have been reasonably successful at implementing DNC, the expens
