数控机床专业英语Unit 1The history of CNC and NC development电脑数字控制和数字控制的发展历史Dialogue对话Topical introduction :Tom and Mary have now just finished a class given by professor Smith on the workings of the machine tools .yet, they still have some questions, and so, they walk over to prof.smith.主题介绍：汤姆和玛丽刚刚在史密斯教授的指导下完成了机床运行方式的课程。然而，他们仍然有一些问题。于是他们步行到史密斯教授那里。Tom：(to prof.Smith) Excuse me, sir,I’m Tom, one of your students in this class. Could I ask you some questions?汤姆(对教授说)：对不起，先生。我是汤姆，是你班中的一名学生。我可以问你一些问题吗？Smith: (to Tom):Why not? Come on, then.史密斯：(对汤姆说)为什么不行呢？来吧。Tom: Why do we name these machines numerical control machines?汤姆：为什么我们(课程)的名字为数字控制机床Smith: A good question, boy. You know, uh-hm… NC, or numerical control, actually refers to the control of a machine tool or any other processing machines by using a series of mathematical information, or numerical data. It means the work of machine is controlled by a numerical control program. 史密斯：这是个好问题，你知道NC或者数字控制，实际上是指机床的控制或者通过使用一系列数字信息和数据资料控制机床加工过程。Mary: Oh, Porf. Smith, the idea is nice enough. But what is the advantage of numerical control over the hand control? Isn’t our hand more sensible or reliable than the programmed data?玛丽：史密斯教授，这个想法相当好。但是数字控制与人工控制相比优势什么？人工控制不是能比程序化的数据更合理 和可靠吗？Smith: In some ways, yes, A good example is some fine works, like a jade box, but the qualities of hand-made products may not be consistent or stable. What is more important, NC has proved to be much more advantageous in overall operation.史密斯：在一些方面，确实如此，象玉雕等精细的工作就是很好的例子，但是手工制作的产品的质量也许不能够一致或者稳定。更重要的是，NC(系统)已经证明在总体的操作上有更多的优势。Mary: But what do you mean by overall operation?玛丽：可是通过总体的操作你要表达什么意思呢？Smith: Uh-huh, by it we mean the general industrial production practice. For example, NC should be adopted whenever there is similar raw material and work parts are produced in various sizes and complex shapes. Those production shops that may have frequent changeovers will surely benefit from NC programs.史密斯： 总体的操作是指总体的工业生产实际。例如，在同样的原材料和工序时制造出不同尺寸规格和复杂形状(零件)的场合NC系统将会
