CNC controllers are used to control machines and processes. They provide capabilities ranging from simple point-to-point linear control to highly complex algorithms with multiple axes of control. CNC controllers are used to retrofit many types of machine shop equipment.
CNC routers are computer-controlled machines that are capable of cutting complex two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes with router bits that spin at high speeds.
Milling machines move a clamped workpiece into a fixed, rotating cutter; or move the cutter itself into a stationary workpiece. There are two basic configurations: vertical and horizontal.
Oxy-fuel cutting machines and oxy-fuel welding machines use fuel gases and oxygen (e.g., oxyacetylene ) to cut or fuse metals by generating a high temperature (980-degree C) torch flame.
Plasma cutting machines and plasma welding machines melt an areas with an arc and then use a high-velocity, high-temperature ionized gas to make cuts and fuse materials.
