The numerical control equipment in the 21st century will be an intelligent system. The contents of intellectualization include all aspects in the CNC system: in order to pursue the intellectualization of machining efficiency and quality, such as adaptive control of machining process, automatic generation of process parameters; In order to improve the drive performance and use the intelligence of connection, such as feedforward control, adaptive calculation of motor parameters, automatic identification of load, automatic selection of model, self-tuning, etc.

The purpose of function compounding is to further improve the production efficiency of the machine tool and minimize the time used for non machining assistance. Through the combination of functions, the use scope of the machine tool can be expanded, the efficiency can be improved, and one machine can be used for multiple purposes and one machine can have multiple functions. That is, a CNC lathe can realize both turning and milling functions; Or in the milling machine tool can also achieve grinding.
