Computer numerical control installation

Most common CNC machines

If your CNC machine has a 9-pin female serial connector then you can connect the WF500.

1. B directly to your CNC with a null modem 9-pin serial cable (included with the WF500
2. B).
If the 25-pin connector on the CNC is a male version then you will need a 25-pin female to 9-pin female adapter.

Most common CNC machines

Numerical Control (NC) refers to the method of controlling the manufacturing operation by means of directly inserted coded numerical instructions into the machine tool.
It is important to realize that NC is not a machining method; rather, it is a concept of machine control..

What is CNC setup?

Setup is where we get the CNC Machines all ready to run the part.
We need to make sure it has all the right tools in the tool changer, the right gcode program loaded, and in general that the machine is ready to go..

What is computer number control?

Computer numerical control (CNC) is a manufacturing method that automates the control, movement and precision of machine tools through the use of preprogrammed computer software, which is embedded inside the tools.
CNC is commonly used in manufacturing for machining metal and plastic parts..
