CNC is a general term that refers to a range of machining techniques. Computer Numerical Controlled is a programmable feature that allows the machine to perform a variety of tasks without the intervention of humans. CNC machining refers to the process of creating an item by using a CNC controlled machine. The term refers to a variety of subtractive manufacturing processes that involve the removal of material from a piece of stock or bar, in order to create a finished part. There are five kinds of CNC machining performed by 5 different kinds of CNC machines. Whether you wish a useful reference on CNC machine, click over here. This technique is utilized in many industries, including aerospace and medical, industrial oil and gas, hydraulics, firearms, and oil &. Many different materials are able to be CNC machined including metal, plastics, glass, composites and wood. CNC machining offers many advantages over traditional machining that isn't programmable. It can result in significantly shorter cycles, more precise finishing and even multiple features simultaneously. This can increase quality and reliability. This is perfect for large and medium production, where precision and efficiency are essential. CNC Lathes and Turning Machines The capability to turn material in machining is the main feature that distinguishes CNC lathes and turning machines. The cutting tools used in these machines are moved in a linear manner along the rotating bar stock by removing the material from the entire circumference until the desired size (and feature) is achieved. A subset of CNC lathes is CNC Swiss lathes (which are the kind of machine Pioneer Service operates). CNC Swiss lathes allow the material bar to turn and slide axially over the guide bushing, which acts as a holding device. This gives the material more support as the tooling machine it is fitted with, resulting in better tolerances. Turning machines and CNC lathes can create internal and exterior characteristics on components such as bores broaches or bores, slotted holes, tapping, tapers, threads. Components created on CNC lathes and turning centres comprise bolts, screws, shafts, poppets, etc. CNC Milling Machines CNC milling machines are distinguished by their ability to rotate cutting tools while keeping the material workpiece/block stationary. They can produce a wide range of shapes including face-milled features (shallow flat surfaces, flat surfaces and cavities within the workpiece) and peripheral milled features (deep cavities, such as slots and threads). Components made on CNC milling machines usually have square or rectangular shapes with a variety of characteristics. CNC Laser Machines CNC laser machines feature pointed routers with laser beams that are highly focused which is used to precisely cut, slice or engrave materials. The laser is able to heat the material, causing it to melt or vaporize, resulting in a cut within the material. Typically, the material is in a sheet format and the laser beam is moved between the material to create an exact cut. This process can produce more designs than conventional cutting machines (lathes or turning centers, mills) and can often result in cuts and/or edges that do not require additional finishing processes. CNC laser engravers are often used to mark the part (and ornamentation) of machines. As an example, it could be challenging to create a logo or company name into an CNC milled or CNC turned component. Laser engraving can be used to add the information to the piece after the machining has been completed. CNC Electrical Discharge Machines An electric discharge machine (CNC) (EDM) employs highly controlled electrical sparks to manipulate materials into an ideal shape. It could also be referred to as spark eroding, die sinking, spark machining or wire burning. CNC Plasma Cutting Machines CNC plasma cutting machines can also be employed to cut through materials. However, they execute this process using a high-powered plasma (electronically-ionized gas) torch, which is controlled by computer. Plasma torch can reach temperatures up to 50 000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is similar to the gas-powered handheld torch used to weld (up to 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit). The plasma torch melts the workpiece to create cuts into the surface.
