Machine Tool Fittings, Machine Components Casting Workshop
Advantages and Disadvantages of CNC Machines:
Advantages:
1. CNC machines can be used continuously 24 hours a day, 365
days a year and only need to be switched off for occasional
maintenance.
2. CNC machines are programmed with a design which can then be
manufactured hundreds or even thousands of times. Each
manufactured product will be exactly the same.
3. Less skilled/trained people can operate CNCs unlike manual
lathes / milling machines etc.. which need skilled engineers.
4. CNC machines can be updated by improving the software used to
drive the machines
5. Training in the use of CNCs is available through the use of
‘virtual software’. This is software that allows the operator to
practice using the CNC machine on the screen of a computer. The
software is similar to a computer game.
6. CNC machines can be programmed by advanced design software
such as Pro/DESKTOP, enabling the manufacture of products that
cannot be made by manual machines, even those used by skilled
designers / engineers.
7. Modern design software allows the designer to simulate the
manufacture of his/her idea. There is no need to make a
prototype or a model. This saves time and money.
8. One person can supervise many CNC machines as once they are
programmed they can usually be left to work by themselves.
Sometimes only the cutting tools need replacing occasionally.
9. A skilled engineer can make the same component many times.
However, if each component is carefully studied, each one will
vary slightly. A CNC machine will manufacture each component as
an exact match.
Disadvantages:
1. CNC machines are more expensive than manually operated
machines, although costs are slowly coming down.
2. The CNC machine operator only needs basic training and
skills, enough to supervise several machines. In years gone by,
engineers needed years of training to operate centre lathes,
milling machines and other manually operated machines. This
means many of the old skills are been lost.
3. Less workers are required to operate CNC machines compared to
manually operated machines. Investment in CNC machines can lead
to unemployment.
4. Many countries no longer teach pupils / students how to use
manually operated lathes / milling machines etc... Pupils /
students no longer develop the detailed skills required by
engineers of the past. These include mathematical and
engineering skills.
