What human attribute is replaced by a CNC machine?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The human attributes replaced by the CNC machines.

Explanation of Solution

The CNC machines have a system of feedback control for judgment purposes. The presence of the feedback control enables the CNC machines to measure and compare the results with the required size of the position and hence make the adjustments so that the possibilities of error will be minimized. The accuracy and quality of the product got increases and time, and the wastage or material get decreases.

The human attribute that is replaced by the CNC machine is judgment due to the presence of the feedback control system.
