CNC Machining Parts
What is CNC Machining?
CNC Machining is a subractive manufacturing method that uses cutting tools to remove material from a block of raw material or a pre-existing part (such as a 3D-printed part when very tight tolerances are needed in specific areas).
CNC Machining Is Complementary Technology
We also utilize CNC Machining as a valuable secondary operation for our 3D printed parts that require boring, drilling, face milling or other precision machining for enhancing features.
We are dedicated to providing the fastest CNC machining in the industry, with projects programmed and started the same day as order.
Precise Finishing for CNC Machined Parts
We offer a variety of expertly applied finishing options to improve the mechanical and aesthetic properties of your CNC machine component, including painting, anodizing, EMI and RFI shielding and hand polishing.
How Does a CNC Machine Work?
A CNC machine works by automatically cutting raw material based on a set of operator-supplied instructions called G-code. This G-code contains the coordinates of the specific part features, the required tool to use, and the optimal speeds and feeds, as well as commands for when to turn the coolant on or off. The MCU (machine control unit) converts this G-code into instructions for the various servo motors and spindles in order to produce the desired part.
Servo Motor
The CNC machine is fitted with a servo motor to rotate the spindle. The servo motor automatically controls the RPM and rotates the spindle clockwise, and anti-clockwise according to requirement.
Tool Turret
The tool turret is also called ATC which means automatic tool changer, it automatically changes the tool according to the operation.
The tool turret has a tool magazine with different cutting tools.
Tail Stock
The main function of tail stock is to support long and heavy jobs.
The tail stock has a revolving center, also known as a foot stock and dead center.
Spindle
The spindle is a type of hollow shaft with a chuck attached to it. The spindle acts to rotate the chuck.
It is the heart of a machine tool and consists of a spindle assembly and a spindle drive system.
Guideways
Guideways control the direction of the table on which a tool or work is held.
It absorbs all static and dynamic forces.
Chuck
The main function of the chuck in the CNC machine is to clamp the component.
Mostly hydraulic chuck is used in CNC machines as hydraulic chuck clamps the job firmly.
CNC machines use different design chucks according to the component.
Axis Motor
The CNC machine has an axis motor to control the axis.
The Axis motor converts circular motion to linear motion. It is due to the axis motor that the x-axis and z-axis of the CNC machine travel.
Ball Screw
Ball Screw Converts rotary motion to linear motion works on the principle of rolling friction profile threads machine on the shaft and balls meshed inside the nut.
Chip Guard Door
The CNC machine is equipped with a chip guard door, this machine acts as a safety for the operator.
When the CNC machine works on metal, small metal chips come out of the machine and coolant runs in the machine, so the metal chips and coolant do not come out of the machine, so the CNC door is closed.
This protects the safety of the machine operator.
Hydraulic Oil Tank
The hydraulic tank of the CNC machine consists of hydraulic oil, which consists of a motor that clamps and decamps the chuck by creating hydraulic oil pressure.
Lubrication Oil Tank
The CNC machine has a lubrication oil tank to deliver lubrication oil to the continuously working parts of the CNC machine.
Coolant Tank
The CNC machine has a coolant tank in which the coolant is filled.
The coolant is used in the CNC machine to cool the job, cutting tools.
When the cutting tool works on metal, both the tool and the component are heated. Using a continuous coolant in the CNC machine increases the tool life of the cutting tool.
Machine Bed
A machine bed is the main body of the CNC machine.
All the main components are bolted on it such as spindle stock, tailstock, axis assembly, guidelines, tool turret, etc.
It limits heat distortion and provides mechanical stability.
Carriage
It is located between the headstock and the tailstock.
It is used to hold and move the tool post along the bed either towards or away from the headstock.
It slides on the guideways.
Stabilizer
The CNC machine has a stabilizer to control the electricity.
