​​CNC Services Yonkers NY

The Yonkers Cabinet Pros, in Westchester New York, uses the CNC Machines in their woodwork design and production. The CNC machines are software controlled that allows one to easily create designs and the final woodwork product created by the machine. The machine hosts various functions which makes them more versatile. These functions include drilling, routing, milling, and cutting.

History of the CNC Machines

The first machines were created in the 1950s and were referred to as the NC. These relied on punched tape to store data. However, in the last 50s, a new standard language began and it was referred to as the G-Code. In the 60s, CAD was developed to replace the paper drawings and this was favored the larger industries. The demand for the CNC machines however increased in the 1070s as the employment costs went up. This gave the growth of the machine in popularity in both large and small companies.

The CNC Machines Services

The CNC machines control tools such as mills, grinders, and lathes. The tools can be customized for any project including both plastic and metal components. The machines are excellent when it comes to reducing waste from the materials used making it a popular, accurate, and most common method of producing parts.

Compared to the manual way of producing the woodwork, the CNC machine has plenty of advantages during the process. It’s considered to be more precise and the process can be repeated or redone several times despite the complexity of the design. The most complex 3D shapes in the world are done using these CNC machines. These are designs that require high levels of precision which can only be achieved using the CNC Machines.

The CNC Machining Process

The process starts with the 2D and 3D CAD drawings and creating a specific code for the machine. A test run is done once the machine is loaded to ensure that the operations will run smoothly. Once this is done, the process of creating begins with as much repetition until the final desired part is created.

The processes involved in CNC Machining are:

• Design: Using CAD, create either 2D or 3D models of what to make
• Programming: Convert the CAD using the CAM software into G-Code. This is the language used for programming the machines
• Machine: Setting up the machine with the right tools and materials to be used
• Make the part: Creating the actual woodwork model
  

Benefits of the CNC machine

• Cost-Effective: The machines are economical in the manner that they help in the reduction of waste materials. This allows the user to fully utilize the materials to a maximum.
• Easy Repetition: With the initial design created, the machine can be used to create exact copies with precise specifications.
• Accuracy: Using CAD program creates highly accurate designs before the CNC processes begin.
• Faster: The production process is faster since the machine is fully automated meaning the overall production time is cut down.
• Safety: The user or operator of the machine is safe from harm since there is no actual work done manually. The whole process is automated making it much safer.
