About Lesson
A lot of modern tooling is made from Tungsten Carbide often shortened to carbide. Learn how it is made and how it is used for solid tools and throw away inserts
(1) Compare CNC to non CNC
Critically compare: production (mass, flow, batch, job), ease of programming, repeatability, prototypes, skill levels and other factors.
0/4
(2) Operating principles of a CNC
Operating principles: open loop system, closed loop system, control systems (closed loop servo motors associated transmission, stepper motors and associated transmission), types and function of position transducers (rotary type, optical gratings), digital control
