CNC (computer numerical control) machining is a manufacturing process involving automated machinery, where by the cutting or milling movements involved are programmed beforehand into a computer or CAD system.

The history of CNC machines can be traced back to the 1950’s when the US Air Force was experimenting with different manufacturing techniques for new aircraft. Its introduction into manufacturing followed the invention of NC machining (numerical control machining), generally credited to American engineer John T Parsons.

Because CNC machines are largely automated, they vastly reduce the number of man hours required to produce an item. The manufacture of an item that would require a three man team using manual machinery can in some cases be reduced to just one worker, and because the number of steps that require human action are greatly reduced, this frees up the operator to carry out other tasks while the machining is taking place. Accuracy is also improved, CNC-manufactured items are closer to the original design than when produced by manual machining in most cases, and the frequency of errors is greatly reduced.

CNC machines are programmed using (originally) analogue or digital computer software to move motors and other positioning systems, and several machines can be combined into a single cell that will machine a part that several different operations to manufacture. In the early days of programming CNC machinery these operations would have had to be calculated by the operator, but in modern systems a part can be designed using CAD (computer-aided design) that will calculate and export the operations into the machine automatically, again greatly reducing the man hours required to manufacture a piece. This also means that due to much smaller setup / make-ready times CNC is ideal to run batches of anything from one to several thousand.

CNC has also made machining safer as most machines work behind a guard or safety door to prevent operators being hurt by flying debris.

CNC Machining Center

The company began to cooperate with Siemens AG in the field of machine tool numerical control system since 1989. It is mainly engaged in developing, producing, selling and serving the economy, popularization and full function numerical control systems, and the numerical control reconstruction of all kinds of machine equipments as well as. In 1996, the company and Siemens AG established a Joint Venture—Siemens Numerical Control Ltd. Nanjing, and now it has already had the ability to produce 8000 sets of all kinds of machine tool numerical control systems per year.

The company is always engaged in the renewal of all kinds of old machine tool (lathe, milling machine, grinding machine, all kinds of machining centers, etc.) and numerical control reconstruction, and supplying Siemens numerical control systems (810, 802D SL, 810D, 840D) and the sale, maintenance and service of spare parts.
Since 2003, the company grasps the great opportunity tightly for the update of machine machining equipments in the national defense system interior enterprise, and cooperates with the domestic famous machine tool manufacture widely to produce and sell all kinds of "Corinco" brand numerical control machine tools. At present, it has formed certain scale.
