The History of CNC Machining: From Punch Tapes to Precision Manufacturing

By Blog

Introduction

The history of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining dates back to the 1940s, when it was first introduced as a means of automating the manufacturing process. The concept behind CNC machining is simple: a computer program is used to control the movement of a machine tool, allowing for the precise and repetitive cutting of metal and other materials.

The first successful implementation of CNC machining was by John Parsons, who developed a numerical control system for a metal lathe in the late 1940s. The system used punched tape to store the commands that controlled the movement of the machine, and it was capable of producing a series of identical parts with great accuracy. This was a major breakthrough in the field of manufacturing, as it allowed for the automation of complex and repetitive tasks. Read More
