What Is A CNC Phase Converter?
First let us touch base on what CNC stands for. CNC means computer numerical control. And what does that mean? It basically means and refers to a computer that reads G-code instructions that drives a machine tool. Before there was CNC we only had numerically controlled machines which meant that they were hard wired and that their operating parameters could not be changed. The employees of the company that owned the machinery had to do all the work manually to run their equipment which meant for long hours of work and more room for human error. The introduction of CNC machinery drastically changed the manufacturing industry in which has saved companies thousands of dollars thus giving their employees other things to do. It has been around for over 40 years. Now let’s talk about what is a CNC phase converter? Most CNC equipment is set up to use three phase power. So the need to provide that three phase power became prevalent thus the CNC phase converter was designed. You will learn that
