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.

High-speed drilling and tapping are essential processes in manufacturing and construction industries. These techniques involve drilling holes and creating threads quickly and efficiently, allowing for increased productivity and precision in various applications. By utilising high-speed drilling and tapping, companies can streamline their operations and achieve faster turnaround times without sacrificing quality.

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.
