While in the NC machine the program is fed into the punch cards, in CNC machines the program of instructions is fed directly into the computer via a small boar
In CNC machine the program is stored in the memory of the computer. The programmer can easily write the codes, and edit the programs as per the requirements.
The operator has to merely feed the program of instructions in the computer, load the required tools in the machine, and rest of the work is done by the compute
CNC is the short form for Computer Numerical control.
NC(Numerical control.e.g."type writer") machine works as per the program of instructions fed into the controller unit of the machine.
The CNC machine comprises of the mini computer or the microcomputer that acts as the controller unit of the machine.

In CNC machine the program is stored in the memory of the computer. The programmer can easily write the codes, and edit the programs as per the requirements.
These programs can be used for different parts, and they don’t have to be repeated again and again.
Compared to the NC machine, the CNC machine offers greater additional flexibility and computational capability.
CNC machine works like the Robot, which has to be fed with the program and it follows all your instructions.
Some of the common machine tools that can run on the CNC are: Lathe, Milling machines, Drilling Machine etc.
The main purpose of these machines is to remove some of the metal so as to give it proper shape such as round, rectangular, etc.
In the CNC machines the role of the operators is minimized.
The operator has to merely feed the program of instructions in the computer, load the required tools in the machine, and rest of the work is done by the compute
The computer directs the machine tool to perform various machining operations as per the program of instructions fed by the operator.
