NUM had already developed the first CNC controller in 1961, i.e. 10 years before CNC- or NC control systems found a wide acceptance among users. With the launch in 1964, NUM was one of the first global CNC providers. Since then, we have maintained our position as a technology leader in this segment and are eager to expand this further.
