A CNC controller completes all the important links between a computer system and mechanical components of the machine. The controller’s main task is to obtain the conditioned signals from the computer and convert those signals into mechanical motions through motor output. The machine control unit or controller is a microcomputer that stores the program and executes the commands into an action with the help of a machine tool. The CNC controller market is projected to be valued at USD 3.70 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% between 2017 and 2023. Growth of this market is propelled by factors such as increase in the adoption of industrial automation in the manufacturing sector, ability to reduce operating cost, and rising demand for mass production across end-user industries.
