The alphanumerical data represent relative positions between a workhead and a workpart as well as other instructions needed to operate the machine. The workhead is a cutting tool or other processing apparatus, and the workpart is the object being processed. When the current job is completed, the program of instructions can be changed to process a new job. The capability to change the program makes NC suitable for low and medium production. It is much easier to write new programs than to make major alterations of the processing equipment. Numerically controlled (NC) machine tools were developed to fulfill the contour machining requirements of complex aircraft parts and forming dies. The first-generation numerically controlled units used digital electronic circuits and did not contain any actual central processing unit, thereby they were called NC or hardwired NC machine tools. In 1970s, computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools were developed with minicomputers used as control units. With the advances in electronics and computer technology, current CNC systems employed several high-performance microprocessors and programmable logical controllers that work in a parallel and coordinated fashion. Current CNC systems allow simultaneous servo position and velocity control of the axis, monitoring of controller and machine tool performance, online part programming with graphical assistance, in-process cutting process monitoring,
