It is a machine with high precision with the capability of making repeated patterns. It can be done by taking input of computer-generated code and converting it into an electric signal.

Answer and Explanation:

Feature of CNC control unit

- Program input e.g. magnetic tape, punched tape, floppy diskette

- Program modification at the machine tool

- programming subroutines (macros)

- Circular & linear interpolation

Capabilities of CNC

- Displacement of slide members

- The angular spinning of circular tables

- Start & stopping of the main spindle
