What is CNC Machining?<\/h2>\n

A computer numerical control (CNC) machine can be used in many different ways to manufacture parts. It can be used to 3D print using polymer materials, it can be used as a conveyor system fed by lasers and sensors, or it can be used as a pick-and-place solder machine for semiconductor production.<\/p>\n

Typically thought of as autonomous metalworking machines cutting raw materials into their finished product, CNC machines have evolved into three different categories.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb image=”https:\/\/mfgproductionimages.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230213172543\/CNCMachine2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_css_blurb_image=”margin-bottom: 0px;” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Three Types of CNC Machines:<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Milling (3, 4, 5 axis)<\/h5>\n

Whether they are horizontal boring machines or vertical milling centers (VMC\u2019s), milling machines are the most popular thanks to their versatile 3+ axis machining capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Turning (2, 3, 4 axis)<\/h5>\n

Any round component such as a bolt\/fastener, automotive wheel, or rocket nozzle is almost always produced on a CNC lathe, used for cylindrical components.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Wire EDM<\/h5>\n

Known for their extreme precision and repeatable accuracy, wire EDM machines use a combination of specialized water and electromagnetic current to remove very precise, human hair-sized cuts in a metal workpiece.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb image=”https:\/\/mfgproductionimages.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230213172525\/CNCMachine.jpg” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_css_blurb_image=”margin-bottom: 0px;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”display: flex;||align-items: center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ text_font=”|300|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]

CNC machining was originally a manual process, used during the Industrial Revolution. CNC operators manually cranked handwheels and adjusted cutting tools to complete projects.<\/p>\n

As computer technology evolved, CNC operators saw changes to the motion control and planning systems that make up the backbone of the computer-automated CNC machines we see today.<\/p>\n

Today we have robots, pallet conveyor systems, smart sensors, and various components that are capable of making a manufacturing factory floor fully autonomous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”20px||20px||true|false” custom_padding=”50px|30px|50px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_css_main_element=”display: flex;||align-items: center;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ text_font=”|300|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]
