CNC Robotics

Wikipedia defines CNC as a computer numerical control developed for machining. A CNC machine processes a piece of material by following a coded programmed instruction without a manual operator.

A program-driven production line surprises no one today. But the principle of CNC is pretty old, it goes back to 1804 and since then, there have been no fundamental changes to the approach.

The grandfather of the CNC machine was a Frenchman and a weaver. Joseph Marie Jacquard was the first to use a punched card to control the weaving machine. The program was stuffed with binary code: hole on the punch card = action, no hole = no action. Thus, it was possible to automate the production of textiles with a variety of patterns. Many thanks to Mr.Jacquard. His invention allowed your grandmother to buy this monstrous jacquard armchair. 

CNC machines make  the world faster, much faster ;more reliable. Fewer alarms and fewer surprises ;more affordable;safer .

More than a hundred years later, John T. Parsons captured the Automation Banner. He came up with how to automate the production of propellers for aircraft, using the coding on metal punched cards. In the 1940s, the efficiency of metalworking and manufacturing was, to put it mildly, relevant. Later, when it turned out that the invented machine is too expensive, Parson was fired. But don’t worry - justice triumphed. It turned out that in the post-war period automation still brings huge profit. Parson's patent was acquired by such companies as IBM, Fujitsu, General Electric. The father of automation returned to the presidency chair. Automation was in the air.

CNC machines have become the striker of the scientific and technological revolution of the 20th century. Further development of the CNC control went hand in hand with the new programming languages ​​and computing systems. 

Kinds of gear reducers are used in CNC machines widely,such as harmonic drive,planetary
