THE IMPACT OF USING CNC EQUIPMENT IN SMALL INDUSTRY

Abstract

In recent years, the profile of many companies has changed in a short space of time. Industries have difficulty finding new forms of innovation due to economic demands, everyday life and the constant challenge of remaining competitive. The usual strategy is centered on the application of Computerized Numerical Control – CNC, in production processes, which includes a specialized computer to control the movement of the equipment's axes, has been widely used in its processes. The objective of this article is to analyze the benefits of industries that use CNC equipment in the production process. The methodology used in this study are bibliographical research and case study. At the end of the study, it can be concluded that CNC equipment allows flexibility in production, increases productivity, reduces machine preparation time and reduces errors. Therefore, it can be said that all of this is necessary for a production system to be competitive in delivering products to the market.
