Applications of CNC machine in Aerospace, Automobile, Defence, Marine, Manufacturing industry

(toc)Table of contents

Manufacturing is the backbone of all industries like automotive, aerospace, marine, defense, oil, gas, and many more; hence, manufacturing in India is growing more and more. Automatic control machines provide a lot  of advantages in production, by which production capacity increases by up to 60–70% compared to manual work in the past and Applications of CNC machines are one of them.

Applications of CNC machine

Which industries use CNC machine?

1. Aerospace industry
2. Automobile industry
3. Manufacturing industry
4. Defence industry
5. Marine industry

• In earlier days, all work was done by labour, and this process consumed men, money, and time. As the development of the manufacturing industry increased, there was a growth in research in automatic machinary development , and today technological development is at its peak.

• CNC machines are useful in all industries due to their high precision, repeatability, accuracy, high surface finish, and many more factors that make them applicable everywhere.

Aerospace Industry

How are CNC machines used in the aerospace industry?

Aerospace manufacturer use CNC machines to manufacture, assemble and maintain esssential aircraft and space shuttle components. Single error in any components leads dangrous result because its directly connected with human life. 

Its creates parts that withstand high pressure and temprature condition. the quantity, efficiency, accuracy, ultra high precision and application of machine tool is of great importance for aerospace industry. 

Material like aluminum, titanium, tungustun, wood might be easily machining by 5 axis automatically controlled cnc machine.

Aerospace parts to be manufactured in CNC machine

1. Aircraft frame
2. Aircraft wings and ribs
3. Engine
4. Propellor and his blades
5. Landing Gear

Benifits of CNC machine in Aero space:

1. Maintain precise tolerance
2. High consistency, repetability and accuracy
3. Fast and safe manufacturing
4. Lead time reduction
5. Cost effective
6. Manufacture identical part

Drawback of used CNC machine in aerospace industry:

1. High intial investment
2. Time consuming in programming and operator training
3. Not suitable for all material.

Automotive Industry

What are the applications of CNC machine in automobile industry?

In early 1990, cars were manufactured by hand, but technological advancement brought CNC machining. CNC technology is behind the modern automotive industry; it totally changed the way cars were manufactured in the past.

With the technological development in the cnc field, most components are now manufactured by various cnc machines, starting from the outer structure to the fabrication of vehicles done by cnc laser cutting and bending. In automobiles, CNC milling plays the main role in manufacturing most of the components mentioned below.

Automotive parts to be manufactured by CNC Machine:

1. Engines, gears
2. Lighting, exhaust parts
3. shaft,  valve retainers
4. carburetor housings and suspension parts

Benifits of CNC machine in Auto motive:

1. High production rate
2. Complex machining achieve
3. Prototype machining
4. Excellent finishing

Drawback of used CNC machine in Automotive industry:

1. Precise tool require, Tooling cost increase
2. Error in Cad Cam design lead to accident
3. Trainee Operator not available.

Manufacturing Industry

In earlier day manual and conventional machine used in manufacturing industry, which are affected by factors like it is time consuming, costly, less Accuracy,  simple machining possible. But due to integration of advanced technology in manufacturing industry mainly due to computerized numeric control machinery, most of problems in manufacturing industry are solved and today's manufacturing industry are  Industry 4.0 integral.

Manufacturing Industry pay great impact on human being life, because of this there are the lots of development done for human comfort. today lots of automation available for human. 

As the Research and development growth in manufacturing industry, there are lots of research done in CNC field.

manufacturing industry  follow the particular process,

In manufacturing industry for fabrication work CNC laser and CNC beding used, for machining of material CNC mills, CNC lathe, turning machine, CNC drilling and many more machine  used.

some of products mention below are manufactured:

1. Moulding Die
2. Complex part manufacturing
3. Machining of heavy casting piece
4. Gear manufacturing
5. Punching die

Development in on clamping & fixture development, lead time CNC programming, feasible CAD design, Tool design and research, Temprature level maintain, ease in machining to reduce time, increase productivity, cost effectiveness.

Marine Industry

As we know the marine equipment are in water hence highly affected by corrosion, so its necessary to use of corrosion-resistant materials due to constant exposure to humidity or direct contact with water. This includes a variety of marine-grade metal materials, such as steel, copper, and brass.

Due to this reason cnc machine is versatile machining method produces durable and corrosion-resistant marine components for marine equipment ranging from small boats to large shipping vessels.

Marine parts to be manufactured by CNC machine:

1. Insulating cases
2. Electronic parts
3. Boat parts
4. Propellers
5. Engine components
6. Prototype molds

Defence Industry

In last 10 years country are focusing on his defence sector and developing more and more defence equipment for his safety purpose. as the industry upgrading it

's require high ende system whose able to precisely generate products, which able to work accuretely. Components of Defence are manufactured in CNC industry because its integrated with CAD CAM, ERP hence user get in touch. Also company likes DMG Mori, HASS, Majak, Makino are precisely made defence component manufacturing CNC machine.

Defence parts to be manufactured by CNC machine:

1. Weapons components
2. Missile equipment machining
3. Sub Machine guns & Light Machine Guns
4. Millatary aircraft manufacturing
5. Drones & Radar manufacturing
