Overview
What is CNC Milling Service?

Using computerized controls and rotating spindle head, CNC milling removes material from the workpiece to create a part that meets the required specifications. A variety of substrates can be machined in this process, including plastic, metal, wood, and glass.

Several different processes can be used in CNC machining, including mechanical, chemical, electrical, and thermal processes. CNC milling falls under the category of a mechanical process since cutting and drilling are powered mechanically without any manual operation.

How Does CNC Milling Work?
CNC Milling Process

The CNC milling process follows the same steps many other machining types do. It can mainly be divided into the following steps: 1. Designing a CAD model and export it to a CNC file format. 2. Converting the CAD model into a CNC program using CAM software. 3. Setting up the CNC milling machine by setting up the worktable and the workholding device, and attaching the milling tools and machine spindle. 4. Executing the milling operation. Depending on the type of part, we can use horizontal or vertical milling machines. When the milling process starts, the cutting tool will rotate at incredibly high speeds — up to thousands of revolutions per minute! It can create many different shapes, holes and any other impression the part requires.

General Lathes and CNC Machining Centers

The biggest difference between CNC processing services and ordinary general lathes, CNC machining center than general ones more than the knife library and tool change device. CNC machining center to further improve the degree of automation and production efficiency of general lathes. The most specific difference between CNC machining center and general CNC machine tools is that CNC machining workpiece only clamping once, the system device can control the machine tool to automatically change the tool and can realize the workpiece milling on the machining surface, drilling, reaming and tapping. Especially for box parts, general CNC machine tool change knife is very troublesome, need manual replacement. Therefore, numerical control machining center has many advantages, it is an essential equipment in the production of numerical control machine tools. For example, the existing five-axis machining center can hardly replace other CNC equipment. The 5-axis machining center can be used for machining complex space curved parts, such as propeller and aircraft curved parts. The application field is one of the most mechanical devices in all high-tech industries.
