CNC.com explains The Basics of CNC and how it works: “Specific coded instructions are sent to what is called an internal microprocessor within the control system of a machine tool. This microprocessor essentially functions as a mini computer that can receive information. This internal processor accepts the informational instructions it receives, interprets how they are meant to be implemented, and then physically performs a desired function for a machine.”
As CNC.com says, the big benefit of using a CNC machine, as opposed to a manually-operated machine tool, is that the “pre-coded functions can be much more specific – and performed far more precisely”. Some other benefits of utilizing CNC machines, as listed by CNC.com, include:

  1. Saving on manufacturing costs: Because CNC machines are so accurate, they significantly reduce waste.
  2. Increased speed of production: The efficiency of CNC machines enables you to produce more in less time.
  3. Increased safety: Safety risks are very rare since the entire fabrication process within the machine is automated.
  4. Increased efficiency of production: Most CNC machines can detect if there are any problems in the production process and then respond by shutting down or fixing the problem internally.
  5. Reduced production costs: CNC machines are made to work perfectly over a long period of time without needing regular maintenance or repairs.

It is because of benefits such as these that General Pallets uses a CNC machine.

CNC.com defines CNC as “a manufacturing concept in which machines are automated to perform certain functions based on the instructions fed to those machines.”
