CNC Milling Capabilities
To remain competitive in today’s market, businesses must review their operations to optimize manufacturing processes and produce more product in a fraction of the time compared to traditional machining. Computer numerical control (CNC) milling at KDML Precision Machine provides the speed and reliability to generate products faster with enhanced, repeatable quality outcomes for even the most complex of designs.
Following the computerized instructions of integrated technology and a 2D or 3D computer-aided design (CAD), this subtractive manufacturing process progressively removes unnecessary material from a workpiece to generate a finished component. A spindle-mounted rotating cutting tool passes around a stationary block of raw bar stock, which is mounted on a moveable work table that allows the tool to cut the workpiece from different angles. Advanced CNC milling machinery has the capability to utilize five or more axes to achieve intricate cuts and workpiece configurations without having to use multiple machines to do so.
Capabilities
With advancements in technology and automation, CNC milling workstations can computerize part designs, control multiple cutting tools, and produce products in a wide array of shapes and sizes with ease. CNC equipment can quickly and accurately create complex designs that require precision to make the smallest cuts. They can generate multiple features in a workpiece, including:
- Slots
- Threads
- Pockets
- Chamfers
Operators can mount many different tools on a CNC milling workstation, making it a versatile asset in manufacturing for carrying out multiple processes without tooling changes. CNC equipment offers flexibility in workpiece material, as well. It is applicable for:
- Metal
- Wood
- Plastic
- Elastomers
- Glass
- Ceramics
CNC milling is typically ideal for prototyping or small- to medium-volume production runs. Industries that benefit from CNC milling include wood- and metalworking, electrical, aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and much more. The reliability of CNC milling lends the process to even the most mission-critical applications, which is just one of the technique’s many benefits.
Advantages of CNC Milling
Thanks to the computerized navigation of the tools, versatile CNC milling can adhere to specific measurements and designs for highly replicable components, even at rapid production speeds. Such accurate operations create dependable parts with tight tolerances. CNC milling also streamlines manufacturing processes because, with the capability for holding as many as 30 tools, CNC milling efficiently reduces the time operators would otherwise take to change tools manually in between procedures. CNC-milled products are affordable to produce due to the reduction of manpower and labor costs, as well, and increased output can result in a decreased price per unit.
