A closed-loop control system in CNC machines uses feedback devices like encoders or LVDTs to send the actual position to the Machine Control Unit (MCU). The system corrects any errors, resulting in higher accuracy and reliability. Servo motors are typically used in such systems for high precision .

Online fault finding techniques help CNC machines detect faults while in operation using sensors and control systems that identify fault signals. The error code is displayed on the screen, simplifying maintenance, reducing machine downtime, and minimizing production loss .

Stepper motors in CNC machines offer simple control, low cost, and high reliability with precise stepwise movements, making position control easy. They do not require feedback, simplifying the system, which is why they are often used in open-loop control systems .

Swarf removal methods such as using conveyors, coolant flushing, and air blasts prevent tool damage and machine blockages, enhancing safety and maintaining machining quality. These processes also improve machine life and productivity by avoiding accidents and ensuring continuous production .

An encoder is a feedback device that converts mechanical movement into electrical signals for position and speed feedback, thus enhancing accuracy in CNC systems. A decoder, on the other hand, converts input codes into specific output signals, but is not used directly for position feedback in CNC systems .

NC systems rely on punched cards or tapes for programming, which makes modifications difficult and limits accuracy. CNC systems use computer memory for programs, allowing easy edits and higher accuracy due to built-in feedback and error correction capabilities .

Canned cycles are pre-made program commands for repetitive operations like drilling and tapping. They shorten programs, save time, and reduce errors. Examples include G81 for drilling and G83 for peck drilling, thus enhancing productivity in CNC operations .

The main components of a robot include the manipulator (arm and wrist for movement), the controller (the brain that executes programs), the end effector (tool or gripper performing the task), sensors (for position and feedback), and a power supply (electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic).

M codes control the auxiliary functions of CNC machines, such as turning the spindle on and off, changing tools, and activating coolant systems. Common M codes include M03 for spindle on clockwise, M05 for spindle off, and M30 for program end and reset .

The advantages of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) include increased production flexibility, reduced manpower requirement, decreased lead time, and improved quality. However, its limitations are high initial cost, complex maintenance, and the need for skilled staff .
