T HE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING IN A BUSINESS DON'T FALL FOR NEGATIVE ADVERTISING     What is the problem or situation you facing in your Business to make it work and Grow  Specific Measurable Atcion   oriented Realistic Time-bound  One of the best ways of achieving results to only Reading positive advertising for your Business  and to put your mind to rest when You making a big decision IN  buying or adding to your Business   How A CNC MACHINE WORKS.......................................  A CNC wood router works almost the same as any other CNC machine. A CNC machine or a Computer Numerically Controlled system which uses computersoftware and CNC controller electronics to drive a mechanical system. Using this setup, it is possible to achieve far better accuracy and precision than a human operator. A traditional CNC router can move and cut in three directions which are usually referred to at the X, Y, and Z directions. The X-axis is usually the longest of the three running front to back. The Y-axis runs from left to right while the Z-axis runs up and down. Below you can see each axis labeled respectively. These machines are very efficient in that they work in all three directions in near perfect unison, giving this machine the capability of carving complex shapes. The Components Lets identify the major components of these machines and see how they come together to make it all work. Below you can see a picture labeling the major components on a generic CNC wood router. There are many other components and additions available but most all routers have these components in common The CNC Controller and Computer System The CNC controller and computer system work together as the “brain” for these machines, telling the motors and drive system which direction to move and how far. Of course the computer must be given a design.   The computer then converts these commands into a digital signal which it relays to the CNC controller which converts the digital signal to varying voltages and currents that control the mechanical drive systems. Most of this is far more than anyone operating a CNC wood router would need to know. It is usually plug and play. The user interface varies depending on the type or manufacturer, but the overall process is the same. You begin with a digital design and then use additional software to make tool paths for the machine to follow. The Spindle The spindle is the part of the machine doing the cutting. Think of it as the actual router, such as a standard wood router. The router spindle is classified by its power rating, horse power in English units and Watts in SI units. The spindle works bye rotating a cutting tool, such as router bits, at varying speeds. A typical spindle designed to cut wood plastics and other soft materials usually have a range of to revolutions per minute. Spindles designed to cut metals operate between and RPMs. The spindle works bye rotating a cutting tool, such as router bits, at varying speeds. A typical spindle designed to cut wood plastics and other soft materials usually have a range of to revolutions per minute. Spindles designed to cut metals operate between and RPMs. Most CNC wood routers are capable  of cutting metals as well. However, it is usually limited to non ferrous metals such as aluminum. When cutting metals or carbon based composites at high spindle speeds, acoolant system that cools the material being cut and the tool itself is usually necessary. The Cutting Bed The cutting bed is where all the action happens. The cutting bed may come in several different types but the function remains the same. The cutting bed is designed to support and secure the piece of material being cut.www.giocnctooling.co.za Thought for the day  An advertising campaign can tell consumers how wonderful you are or how bad the competition is.
