How many type of Cnc Machine

CNC Machine & laser Machine.

Q. How many types of cnc ( Computer Numerical control ) machines are there ?

As many as your heart Desires; if your production process needs a degree of motion (or other control ) and you can put a computer-controlled sensor and actuator on it, you have a CNC machine.

Five and six-axis machines can really blur the traditional distinctions between "lathes" and "horizontal mills", but That's all the better for production Flexibility.

There are basically five different types of CNC machines:

1.CNC Plasma Cutting Machine

2.CNC laser Cutting Machine
3.CNC Milling Machine
4.CNC Router Machine
5.CNC Lathe Machine

All the Five Types of machines have their own applications in a verity of industries. Let's find out which types of industries are using such machines and what the application of each of the machine is.
when CNC was first invented it was a technology that was adapted to fit existing tools but there are also many machines which are created for the sole purpose of being CNC machines.

Milling Machine 

Milling machines are often retrofitted with CNC technology. This process involves removing all the mechanisms built into the machine to make it easy for a human to operate, Such as Hand Wheels and DRO (Digital Read Out) electronics.

The machine will usually have its old lead screws replaced with new very high accuracy ball screws and various new mounts built for mounting the actuators to the machine.

Lathe

just like the milling machine, lathes are also commonly retrofitted with CNC technology in the exact same way.

Machines that are Custom Built For CNC operation

Router

CNC Router are a very common piece of machinery you will see a lot when learning about CNC. These are machines built exclusively to be operated by CNC technology and have no human interface other than through the computer.

Routers are generally for producing larger work and more commonly built with the idea of cutting wood, plastics and sheet metal in mind. Router also are most commonly found in a 3 axis setup (X,Y and Z.) Thiz set up will allow cutting of basic profiles and 3 dimensional relief machining. there are also CNC router which are 4, 5 or even 6 axis, these machines are more suited towards cutting more complex shapes or prototype models.

Milling machine 

There are many milling machines today which were built specifically for CNC as opposed to being retrofitted at a later stage.Some of these machines can be absolutely massive and have built in tool changers, auto-feed mechanisms for loading in material and various electrical sensors for safe monitored cutting.

CNC plasma Cutter 

CNC plasma cutters are very similar to CNC routers in size and setup, however plasma cutters don't require as much of a powerful set because as opposed to dragging around a spinning tool in material they fly above the table with a plasma torch.plasma cutter are made for cutting 2 dimensional profile shapes into sheet metal.

Cnc laser cutter

CNC laser cutters follow the same principle as the plasma cutter. However laser cutter use a much less destructive force than a plasma torch-A laser. laser cutters are often good for cutting wood, plastic and metal. Each will need a different strength of laser suited for the material.

3D printer

A 3D printer or 3 Dimensional printer uses a similar set up as a CNC router or laser cutter, except it uses a plastic extrudes. This plastic extrude pushes out hot plastic through a tiny hole and slowly, by layer deposits enough plastic to build up a completed part.

Pick and place Machine

A pick and place machine again uses a similar set up as a cnc router or laser cutter. This time there a multiple small nozzles, that pick up electrical component down. hence the name pick and place.
pick and place machines move very quickly and are used to palace the many hundreds or thousands of electrical components that make up Services such as computer motherboards, phones/tables, and pretty much everything else that has a printed circuit board.

Many types of CNC machines exists out if which very few are know such as

1.Retrofitted Machine which includes machines like Milling Machines, Lathe Machines Etc. Which uses rectification with CNC Technology.

2. Custom Built Machines For CNC operation: it includes machines like Routers, Milling Machines, CNC Plasma Cutter, 3D printer, Pcik and Place Machines Etc.

If a tool exists you can Probably run it with CNC.

1.Lathes 2. Mills  3.Router  4.grinders 5.welder 6.Torch & plasma cutters 7.Water Jet 8.laser 9. Plotters/paper cutters  10.measuring  11. 3 D printers

There are Probably some cake decoration a Machine
