Text From the clays of the first NC milling machine, there have been many applications for NC technology, ranging from milling, turning, and electric discharge machining (EDM) to laser, flame and plasma cutting, punching and nibbling, forming, bending, grinding, inspection, and robotics. 自从第一台NC铣床诞生以来，数控技术一直得到广泛应用，其范围从铣削、车削、电火花加工到激光加工、火焰及等离子切割、冲压与步冲轮廓加工、成型、弯曲、磨削、检验和机器人等领域。 Although aerospace is still one of the principal industries that require and use NC technology extensively, other industries have also embraced it. 尽管航空工业仍然是NC技术需求与应用最为广泛的主要工业领域之一，但是NC技术在其他工业领域也有所运用。 句中的that require and use NC technology extensively为定语从句，修饰the principal industries；one of the principal industries可译为“主要工业领域之一”。embrace原意是“包含”，这里引申为“使用”。 Because of the continuing advances in computers and their affordability, the cost of NC technology has been dropping rapidly. Now, even small machine shops and small specialty industries have come to acquire this technology. 由于计算机性能和人们购买力的不断提高，NC技术的成本也随之快速下降，一些小型制造厂及小型特种工业目前也开始应用这项技术。 Today you can find NC products in many areas ranging from metal-working and automotive to electronics, appliances, engraving, sign making, jewelry design, and furniture manufacturing. 如今NC技术应用很广，其产品涉及金属加工、汽车行业、电子产品、器具、雕刻、标牌制作、珠宝及家具等。 Turning 车削加工 Turning utilizes a cutter that moves perpendicularly through the center plane of a rotating work-piece. The part shape depends on the shape of the tool and the operations performed to obtain the finished part. (See Fig.4-1) 车削加工是使车刀垂直通过旋转工件中心面进行的加工。成品工件的形状取决于刀具形状以及采用何种加工操作。 Milling铣削加工 The process of milling involves the use of a rotating cutter to remove material from a work-piece. Single- or multiple-axis control moves can generate either simple two-dimensional patterns or profiles, or complex three-dimensional shapes. 铣削是指使用旋转刀具切削工件的加工方法。单轴或多轴控制可加工出简单二维图形、轮廓图形或者复杂的三维形状。 Wire-cut EDM线切割机床 Electrical discharge machining, or wire-cut EDM, uses an electrical discharge from a thin wire t
