Since numerical control was first introduced as a public product in 1954, it has revolutionized the manufacturing process in countless ways. Now known as computer numerical control (CNC), it still promises to contribute even more in terms of greater capability at lower costs. Advances are continuing, especially in the development of PC-based architecture, probing and adaptive machining and knowledge-based systems for automating the entire manufacturing process.

Numerical Control (NC) turns 40 years old this year--that is if you start counting in 1954 when it was first introduced to the ...
