  1. Overview of Machine Tool Controls

  2. The manufacture of finished goods from raw materials requires the use of machine tools. They are usually operated by a human or automatically by a machine like the CNC. Over the course of history, even the machine tool controls have evolved from manually operated mechanisms such as levers and pulleys to the fully automated controls that are employed today. These systems have become an integral part of manufacturing automation solutions being deployed across industrial setups. Automation solutions also offer assistance to factories with regard to path planning, program architecture, external axis programming, position programming, commissioning, integration, and cycle time improvements.

  3. Machine Tool Controls The early types of machine tools were controlled manually, and certain manual controls may still be used on some modern machine tools. Depending on the specific kind of machinery being used, an operator of a machine tool could have pushed a handle, turned a wheel, or used another form of hand-activated device that was coupled to a complex network of pulleys and levers. These machine tool controls, in order to operate correctly, frequently demand a significant amount of experience and expertise from the operator. The controls for machine tools were eventually developed to incorporate automatic components. These automatic tool control systems make use of servo motors and discrete operations to eliminate manual involvement. This indirect control results in a cost-effective and efficient production of parts through the metal cutting process. More direct control systems integrate process models with real time sensor data to manage the cutting speeds and feeds. 

  4. Manufacturing Automation Solutions Many of the methods that are now considered conventional in the industry were developed many decades ago, much before the innovation that exists today. Instead of delivering incremental gains, modern solutions like automation seek to generate better business outcomes than conventional processes. The purpose of manufacturing automation solutions is to assist industries in reaching their goals and moving their organisations into the top quartile of performance. These solutions offer automation expertise at every stage of the manufacturing process, from planning to operations. In addition, automation solution providers now offer services in the fields of factory automation and system integration for many types of businesses. These turnkey solutions provide assistance in the process of programming and configuring various pieces of automation equipment, including machine vision cameras, robots, motion controllers (motors, servos) and other measurement devices.
