CNC Systems - Everything Under Control!

CNC milling is a machining process that uses computer-controlled rotating cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece to create a desired shape. It is widely used for producing precision parts with complex geometries. The process involves securing the workpiece on a movable table and using various tools to cut, drill, and shape the material based on programmed instructions.

Grinding is a precision machining process using an abrasive wheel as a cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece. It achieves fine finishes and accurate dimensions, particularly on hard materials. The process involves a rotating abrasive wheel that shaves off material to reach the desired shape and size, and is essential for creating flat, cylindrical, or conical surfaces in modern manufacturing.

CNC turning is a machining process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to create precise cylindrical shapes. It is ideal for producing parts with complex geometries and tight tolerances. In order to maximise your turning centre or lathe’s output, having a good CNC capable of managing and optimising a whole array of turning processes is essential. In addition to maximising productivity, a good CNC will also provide you with the flexibility to reduce turnaround times on small batches.

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a precision manufacturing process that uses a thin, electrically charged wire to cut intricate shapes and contours in hard metals and conductive materials. The wire generates a series of rapid electrical discharges, which erode the material with extreme accuracy without applying mechanical force. This non-contact method allows for the production of highly detailed, complex parts with excellent surface finishes, making it essential for industries that require precise machining, such as aerospace, medical, and mould-making.

5-axis CNC machining involves simultaneous movement along five axes—three linear (X, Y, Z) and two rotational. This capability allows for the creation of complex parts in a single setup, significantly enhancing precision and efficiency. By moving the cutting tool and workpiece along these five different axes, the 5-axis CNC can produce highly intricate shapes and detailed features.
