| Sumario: | <p>This study, based entirely on a documentary research approach, presents an analysis of the technological evolution of machining processes using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines in the context of Industry 4.0. This emerging industrial paradigm emphasizes the integration of cyber-physical systems, the application of the Internet of Things in manufacturing, and the development of sophisticated virtual technologies. The research aimed to explore how existing machining processes can be adapted or transformed to align with Industry 4.0 principles, particularly through the evolution of CNC tooling. A comprehensive investigation was conducted to identify and apply the defining features of Industry 4.0 to CNC machining environments. One of the central themes of this work was the use of virtual technology in machining tools, a field still in active development. The study examined key factors that directly or indirectly influence production processes in CNC machines. It also explored various types of CNC machining operations and the emerging tools designed with virtual capabilities. Based on this analysis, the research offers recommendations for future applications and proposes improvements to production structures, aiming to support the transition toward smarter, more connected manufacturing systems.</p> |
