CNC MILLING SERVICE

The Basics Of CNC Milling
CNC-milling.gifMilling involves holding the workpiece in a horizontally-mounted, adjustable spindle. As the workpiece rotates, various cutting tools are applied to the piece to create circular shapes and features like rings, grooves, slots, contours, radii, internal bores and threads. On our Haas Milling mills, an extra axis of movement allows us to work perpendicular to the lathe spindle for making square faces or boring holes. This opens up many new machining possibilities.
We use CNC machining not only to manufacture parts and prototypes but also to make mold tools, which can be used for our plastic injection molding or presure die casting services.

How CNC Milling Works
With a 3-axis machine, the rotating tool mentioned above can translate relative to the part in the X, Y, and Z axes (thus the name), but is fixed in a vertical (or horizontal, depending on the machine) orientation. With modern CNC mills, the tool can also move in any combination of the 3 axes simultaneously.
A 5-axis machine is capable of the same movements as a 3-axis machine, but with added rotation about the X and Y axes. It is usually the bed that rotates rather than the toolhead, though both types of machines do exist.  This added rotation allows for much more freedom when machining each setup.

Types Of CNC Milling
At CMS, we offer you a variety of CNC machining services including milling, turning, EDM, wire EDM, surface grinding and much more. Using our imported 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centers, our skilled machinists can make turned and milled parts using a wide range of plastic and metal materials. Our CNC machining abilities also complement our 3D metal printing service making us a great one-stop service for your advanced designs.
Machined plastic parts are left as-milled, which typically means they show visible tool marks. Some metal parts allow more finishing choices. When the run is complete and your required surface finish is applied, parts are boxed and shipped shortly thereafter.

1.jpgAt CMS, we operate a wide range of state-of-the-art CNC milling machines offering a wide range of machining services, including precision milling. We are proud to have CNC machining capabilities to handle projects of all sizes. Through these milling machines, we are able to provide capabilities to a range of industry leaders in the market. Our milling services have multiple CNC milling machines, and our products are often used in the automotive, aerospace, medical, 5G communications, marine, consumer electronics, renewable energy and other industries.

 What is the process of computer numerical control milling?

CNC milling uses a rotary cutting tool similar to drilling, except that one tool moves along different axes to form a variety of shapes, including holes and slots. It is a common form of CNC machining because it performs the functions of drilling and latheing. This is the easiest way to drill holes for all types of premium materials to produce the right product for your business. 

 Precision milling and efficient CNC systems

With our spindle coolant supply, we can cut materials faster than standard coolant spray systems, and our CAD / CAM, UG and Pro/e, 3D Max. can more effectively interact with customers technically and greatly Accelerate the entire process and provide you products with high efficient. Our two horizontal CNC milling centers feature automatic steering knuckles that allow us to machine at any angle. Together with the use of spherical tools, this allows us to achieve the same complex geometry as any five-axis machine.

5-AXIS CNC Milling Capacity

批注 2019-12-14 114444.jpgWhen mentioned a standard 5-axis machine, it refers to the number of directions in which the cutting tool can move, that after setup the cutting tool moves across the X, Y and Z linear axes and rotates on the A and B axes, simultaneous milling and machining, and with high-quality surface machined finish. This allows the complex and intricate parts or parts featuring multiple sides can be processed up to five sides of a part in a single setup. This supports design engineers to design multifaceted parts that can enhance the functionality and performance of the final product without limited process.

Advantages of 5-Axis CNC Milling

High-quality surface finish: It is feasible to produce high-quality machined finish parts with the use of shorter cutters with a higher cutting speed, which can reduce the vibration that frequently occurs when machining deep cavities with a 3-axis process. It makes a smooth surface finish after machining.

Positioning accuracy: 5-axis simultaneous milling and machining has become crucial if your finished products must adhere to strict quality and performance specifications.5-axis CNC machining also eliminates the need to move the work piece among multiple workstations, thereby reducing the risk of error.

Short lead times: The enhanced capabilities of the 5-axis machine results in decreased production times, which translate into shorter lead times for production compared to the 3-axis machine.

Some common tool shapes include:

• Ordinary end mills - Walls with straight 90 degree edges and sharp corners at the bottom of the groove.
• Chamfer end mill - Forms a 45 degree bevel on the top edge of the wall or groove
• Slotted end mill - Forms a rectangular groove on the side wall
• Ball Mill - Forms a rounded edge at the bottom edge of the groove
• Round end mill - Creates a rounded edge at the top edge
• Angle end mill - Create walls at angles other than 90 degrees
• Traditional drill bit
