<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#000000">CNC machines are generally used in the production of high production low variability parts. These machines are available with many variations from 2-axis to 12-axis and accommodate conventional tools like drills, mills and lathes as well as novel manufacturing tools like plasma cutting, water jet cutting, Electron Beam Machining, Electrochemical machining, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), Photochemical machining and Ultrasonic machining. Though CNCs have a certain monopoly in these high production costs, they lag behind industrial robots which can work effectively in low production high variability scenarios. </span></span></p>
