Numerical Control

Numerical Control (NC) is a technology that uses precise programming instructions to operate machinery automatically. It replaces manual control by inputting coded commands, typically in the form of numbers and symbols, to guide tools like lathes, mills, or routers. This allows for highly accurate, consistent production of parts and components, enhancing efficiency and quality. Essentially, NC systems translate digital designs into machine movements, enabling complex shapes and detailed work to be completed with minimal human intervention. It is a foundational technology in modern manufacturing, supporting automation and precision engineering.
