CNCs are inevitable tools in the machining industry today. It is believed that the Computer Numerical Control (CNC), took over as an industry standard in the late 1980s. Until then, it was the time of pneumatic and mechanical turning machines. It required tremendous skill as an operator to handle those machines. The labor dependence was so high that the manufacturing industry came to a standstill at the will of technicians.

That’s when the CNC slowly, but quite elegantly, took over the production sector by storm. Now people with much lesser turning skills can operate the machines. This is possible because of the computerization of the technique – Thanks to the zeroes and ones that worked behind the CNC programs! The machines were already whirling up a revolution in the iron and steel industry. By then, the situation in Montreal was no different.

Industry mavericks like LOCUS Precision CNC Milling & Turning could bend steel and cast iron better than anyone in the neighborhood. They continue to do so with timely upgrades in the SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedure).

Precision is the last word in any machining technique. The ultimate precision comes by combining excellent drawings with flawless programming. The calibration and error factors of CNCs also play a crucial role in determining the finishing of a product. So, timely checks must be conducted on the CNC machines.

Traceability is another significant feature of CNC machining. Since the machine runs on codes based on G and M syllables, it saves the entire documentation in the machine itself. The latest machines have automatic cloud-based data uploading features that will help in the long-term storage of sensitive data.

Now machining has become more or less a learned man’s business. People with basic computer knowledge and programming skills are more likely to make it big in the industry. Today, with the help of CNC machining, unthinkable standards are achieved in machining technology. Today someone with a good technical drawing in hand and a speckless code written against that drawing can be 100 percent confident about the result.

Milling and turning industries contribute to the economic development of a country. The financial prosperity of any world nation reflects its feats in the production sector. So, the higher the quality of machining, the larger the production activity taking place in a country.

Therefore, be pragmatic and take help from industry experts such as LOCUS Precision.
