CNC machining is a vital process in manufacturing. It is categorized primarily into four methods of metal forming: drilling, turning, milling, and grinding. Each method employs specific techniques to shape materials with precision.
CNC drilling is a cutting process where the workpiece remains stationary while the tool moves. The tool's center aligns with the hole center, allowing for the creation of round holes typically used for machine screws and bolts. This process is predominantly performed on CNC machine tools, including CNC milling machines and lathes, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency.
CNC turning utilizes lathes to manufacture cylindrical parts. In this process, the workpiece rotates while the tool moves linearly along its length. This method effectively reduces the diameter of the workpiece, producing smooth surfaces and precise dimensions, making it ideal for creating symmetrical components.
Milling involves cutting metal with a rotating tool while the workpiece is mounted on a movable worktable. This setup allows for operations at various angles, enabling intricate designs and shapes to be crafted with high precision. CNC milling is versatile and can accommodate a wide range of materials.
Grinding is a finishing process that removes material using a grinding wheel. This method ensures that the workpiece achieves accurate dimensions and a smooth finish. For round workpieces, rotation occurs as they are fed into the grinding wheel, while flat surfaces require back-and-forth movement during grinding. This technique is particularly effective for hard materials post-heat treatment.
