What Are the Advantages of CNC Machining Vs Manual Machining?

CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining is a manufacturing process in which pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. Using this type of machine versus manual machining can result in improved accuracy, increased production speeds, enhanced safety, increased efficiency, and most of all cost savings.

Rather than manually setting up machines in your manufacturing facility (which is labor-intensive, which can be expensive and hard to find in a labor-challenged market), CNC machines automate these processes, which means the machines do the work, not your labor force. The software can be set up to automatically transfer machining data to CNC machines to produce windows and doors quickly and accurately, without relying on skilled labor.

Advantages of CNC machining

CNC automation is a big decision for your business, which is completely understandable. However, this approach has many benefits for your business, processes, and employees, including.

1. Increased productivity

The use of CNCs allows manufacturers to deliver the same standard of product at a faster rate without the need for additional skilled labor resources.  

2. Save time and money

CNCs can work long hours and produce many customer orders in less time than labor-intensive manufacturing.

3. Eliminate human error

Mistakes such as cutting aluminum too short or glass too large can lead to lower profits, especially in an era when every dollar counts. When you use CNC, the machine is programmed to deliver products based on design data, eliminating the possibility of all human error.

4. Reduce material waste

CNC machines are precise, eliminating human error and thus reducing material waste. This not only reduces waste but also saves rework time.

5. Safe and easy to use

CNC machines, operators do not need to be near the tool, reducing occupational health and safety accidents. It's a win-win for both your business and your employees.

6. Free up skilled labor for specialized technical work

CNC machines help reduce the labor required for even the most basic administrative tasks, most of which can be easily automated. This will free up your skilled workforce that must focus on their specific skill areas rather than menial administrative tasks.

7. Future-proofing your business

Introducing CNC into your business allows you to adapt to changing designs, building codes, and standards. This allows your business to keep up with the changing world of manufacturing and keep you in the front of technology advances in the window and door industry.
