CNC machines are a vital part of the manufacturing industry. Precision machining is the process of removing excess raw material while post-processing after the fabrication process to achieve greater finishing on a work-piece. Typically, it creates a more precise work-piece or product during the manufacturing process. It is performed using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and involves cutting, edging, milling, drilling, grinding, turning, grooving, and other processes.
The precision
CNC machining process requires a high level of machinist’s skills to operate various types of
CNC machines to achieve the desired results. It is required in every industry
where a product contains assembly parts and you can see it in the production of
automobile parts to aircraft parts and surgical devices.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
or Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) programs are an essential part of the CNC
machining process to design specific 3D diagrams and blueprints with great
details. Hand-drawn sketches are also used during the initial stage to creating
outlines of an object before producing the final blueprints using CAD or CAM
programs.
Different types of CNC
machines are used to achieve different kinds of results in different industries
depending on the material used and the size of the project. A precision CNC
machinist works with a variety of materials such as steel, aluminium, glass,
graphite, bronze, glass, and plastics to create different parts. Some of the
most common types of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machines used in manicuring
industries are:
CNC Router
It
is the most common CNC machine used to perform the cutting process during
manufacturing. It can process various materials in creating machine parts.
Plasma Cutters
A
CNC plasma cutter uses plasma torches to cut heavy materials easily and quickly
with high-quality finishes. It produces more accurate and cleaner products
through the melting and cutting process with ease than any other CNC machine.
Laser Cutter
It
uses high power lasers to cut materials during the manufacturing process. Laser
cutters also deliver high-quality finishes in the industry where accuracy and
precision are important.
Milling Machines
It
is used to create machine parts and work-pieces by cutting and grilling
materials. It is one of the most preferred CNC machines by manufacturers as it
can perform multiple processes such as drilling, cutting, tapping, milling, and
turning to create high-finished products.
Axiom CNC Router
It
is a smaller version of a CNC router machine with additional features to
achieve more precise results. It offers better portability over other CNC
machines to perform small projects with high accuracy.
Precision
machining requires a high level of skills and working knowledge to perform
various jobs involving machinist’s work and programming. You should always
partner with a professional manufacturer and rapid prototyping company to
create high-quality machine parts and objects in your industry.
